Private Hand Building Class (Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc)
Celebrate a special occasion or treat your group to a Private Clay Hand Building Class in our Drummoyne studio
Whether you're an absolute beginner or want to work on your own project, we'll tailor a one-on-one session with an experienced potter to suit your group, at our pottery studio in Sydney's Inner West.
What you'll do
Demonstration
For absolute beginners, your instructor will show you how to hand build with clay. If you're more experienced, we can provide personalised tuition to help you create your own handmade sculpture or functional pottery.
Relax and create
Enjoy a relaxed, hands-on setting with friends, family or colleagues as you get creative with clay together. If you'd like, add an extra 30 minutes before your class to enjoy nibbles and share a cake, refreshments can be arranged for an additional cost, paid separately.
Help at hand
As a private class, you'll get dedicated, one-on-one guidance throughout, tailored to your group's experience level and goals.
The results
Depending on how many sessions you choose, you can build pieces over time and learn to glaze. We use stoneware clay, so your finished pieces will be functional, food-safe ceramics.
We finish the pottery for you
For beginners, we'll finish your pieces over a 4 to 5 week period and let you know when they're ready to collect. Your finished, food-safe ceramics, microwave, dishwasher and oven safe, will be ready to use at home. We provide glazing for up to 2 pieces per person, want to keep more? Extra pieces can be finished for $10 each.
