Pottery Wheel Introductory Class
Have you always wanted to try pottery? This is your chance to discover the therapeutic joys of working with clay
Immerse yourself in a 2-hour pottery wheel class in our ceramic studio nestled in Sydney Inner West's Drummoyne. Unwind as you learn the art of turning stoneware clay on a pottery wheel into bowls, cups or plant pots.
What you'll do
Demonstration
Your experienced ceramics instructor kicks things off with a wheel-throwing demo, showing you the techniques you'll need to shape stoneware clay into a bowl, cup or plant pot.
Get hands-on and relax
Settle in and get hands-on at the wheel. There's something genuinely meditative about working with clay and it's the perfect way to unwind, whether you're starting your day or taking a break from it.
Help at hand
With a maximum of 8 students per class, you'll get plenty of one-on-one guidance from your instructor so even if your first few attempts wobble, you've got support every step of the way.
The results
Throw as many pieces as you like during your session to practise and develop your skills, then choose your favourite pieces to keep, with the class covering two pieces.
We finish the pottery for you
Once class wraps up, we trim, fire, glaze (your choice from our range of studio glazes) and fire your pieces again. Your finished, food-safe ceramics, microwave, dishwasher and oven safe, will be ready to collect in 4 to 5 weeks. Want to keep more than 2 pieces? Extra pieces can be finished for just $10 each and postage is available if you can't make it back in.
