Two siblings, Sally and Michael, restored a mid century warehouse in Abbotsford to create a ceramics studio, wood workshop and boutique cinema and invited anyone and everyone to share the space! Now the whole family helps out, inviting people to share in creating a creative and inclusive experience for anyone who needs 20 seconds of inspiration to fuel their day.

“We had this idea to create a place where we could do the things we like doing, and then we thought … hey, maybe other people would like some space to do something they like too…”

Honestly felt like my friend and I needed additional instruction as we struggled to keep up (and it was a relatively small class). It was difficult for the teacher to assist everyone within the time and we ended up with one piece each that we were not really happy with.

Sim Avin May 2024


I took my friend to this class as a birthday gift and we had an awesome time. Christine was very warm and welcoming and she explained everything clearly. It was so nice to do some relaxing activity while catching up with my friend. I highly recommend it.

Alana Olislagers May 2024


Super fun class. The teacher was very engaging and gave everyone plenty of individual attention and guidance.

Excellent teacher! Venue was a little noisy so l struggled to hear the instructions, apart from that it was great my daughter and me enjoyed ourselves, thank you

Polly Wilson May 2024


I took my daughter along to the Wheel Throwing Pottery Class and we had such a great morning! Our teacher Juliet was very thorough and showed us all the relevant techniques for getting a basic bowl/vessel made on the wheel. Facilities were great - lovely studio space to work in and plenty of help when needed. Thankyou to 2 Mayfield Street! :)

Maddison Wright Apr 2024


Was a fun activity to do with my mum & sister & was the truest form of being present.
Only wish there were more larger dishes to choose from as there weren’t many bowels!

Awesome in there

Ann Glibchenko Apr 2024


We came to celebrate my friend birthday and had an amazing time.
The teacher was very nice and helpful the studio is beautiful and it’s a bonus that you can bring your own drinks and snacks.

Dani Brooke Apr 2024


Really loved the class. Great value for money. Short intro by the teacher then you’re left to do what you wish with your piece. Lots of different options to make too.
All staff were really lovely and helpful.

Julie Coyne Apr 2024


Fun afternoon. Kristen was a great teacher Nice choice of pottery to paint and studio was comfortable.

Great setting with a great teacher and a fun time overall! Only thing we needed was some more time as it’s addictive.

Pottery class review by Louis Queale - Melbourne

Deepesh Kapadia Apr 2024


The instructor was amazing, she was patient and encouraging.
Approx 30mins is taken up during instructions leaving you less time for your initial pottery making. This session only allows for one pottery to be fired any extras will cost $10 a piece. For the amount paid for this session, weird that was asked to clean up everything.
Overall, easily an enjoyable activity, Hope they increase the time especially for the new learners.

Surindah Thiomas Apr 2024


Love the class, such a good experience to kickstart your creativity! Pick up the brush and paint ????

Loved it so much! Already thinking of signing up for another class and excited to see how my pieces turn out.

Brendy Ford Apr 2024


For the last 6 weeks I've thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week pottery course at 2 Mayfield. The instructor (Sophia), lesson plans, studio, fellow students and atmosphere were fantastic. Definitely will be continuing casual classes in pottery as this was absolutely fabulous 10/10!

Sarah Kathryn Cabanilla Apr 2024

The teacher was nice and filled with good vibes.

A truly wonderful evening that allowed us to focus on a new skill whilst detaching from the outside world - an excellent mindfulness experience, and we got to create something that will be useful.

Awesome fun. It's great to learn something new in such a supportive and helpful environment. The teacher Juliette was amazing and everyone left with a smile and a sense of achievement.

Pottery class review by Yeisy Delgado - Melbourne

Jessica Chia Apr 2024


Perfect intro class to wheel throwing. There was enough time to be shown the fundamental techniques and build two vessels. The instructor, Amber, was excellent. It's a great way to spend two hours. Fantastic value for money too.

Lola Noiraud Apr 2024


We came with my boyfriend and it was both our first time trying wheel throwing. The instructions were clear and we had all the materials needed. Definitely good value for money and we are even keen to check the clay painting class

The class was very fun and super helpful, the class not only helped me learn how to throw but to trust the process and appreciate my own piece. After leaving the class, it left me wanting to do more. I was so inspired by seeing other peoples ceramic pieces as it gave me unique ideas to preserve and learn more. I’ll definitely be coming back soon. :)

A fabulous and relaxing activity! This was a bday pressie for my partner and the first time either of us had done wheel throwing.

Maria Caputo Mar 2024


My husband, son and I, thoroughly enjoyed our wheel throwing workshop Sunday the 10/3. Considering it was a 39deg day, the room was set up with fans, iced water to keep us cool. Very thoughtful!
Examples/instructions given by teachers were clear and easy to follow, loved everything about this workshop. The best birthday present I ever received. Thank you!

Teacher's response

Wow Maria! So lovely to read your review. It was a cooker that day so we’re glad it didn’t ruin the experience for you! Come back again! We’d love to see you at Mayfield Street anytime!

Jessie Jackson Mar 2024


We enjoyed an amazing clay throwing experience today, ran by Juliette. She was so knowledgeable and patient with us as beginners and went above and beyond to ensure that it was a class focused on process rather than the final product. I can’t recommend this enough and I can’t wait to go again

Pottery class review by Jessie Jackson - Melbourne

Teacher's response

Oh wow! Well we hope you do come back again! Thanks so much for you kind words Jessie. See you soon!

Jasmine Mar 2024


I was taken to this class as a birthday present. The session itself was super fun and enjoyable, however my piece came out damaged after it was taken away to be glazed.

Teacher's response

Thanks for your feedback about your piece of work Jasmine. So sorry that it came back with some chips in the base. We always try to compensate customers whose work comes back that way. Would you like to come back and have another session painting with us or can we send you a voucher to our new shop on Victoria St? We’d love to do something to make up for your disappointment. Thanks for reaching out and letting us know. Would love to see you again on Mayfield Street!

Rose Goodwin Mar 2024


A great, fun class! The process was well explained and the instructor was always around to help out if needed :)

Tahlia Gascoigne Mar 2024


loved this class! i did it with my 2 best friends had a great time, i got to make 2 pieces and the 3rd didn’t go well but it was a fun class bring a drink if u want but ur hands get very dirty maybe go out before for dinner and make a night out of it

Teacher's response

Top suggestion Tahlia! There are some terrific restaurants close by. Many thanks for the kind words. We’d love to see you again soon!

Had such a fun afternoon painting our little vases. My friend and I booked this class for something different to do and were not disappointed. BYO snacks and drinks is a great idea and we were both happy with our final pieces. My only feedback would be that we weren't given much guidance from the teacher - just a quick overview on what to do then left on our own but as it's only painting, everything was probably covered off in that overview anyway.

Teacher's response

Hey Sarah, thanks for the feedback! We find it hard to read everyone’s needs sometimes as some people feel a bit of stage fright when we hang close by! But good to know what you thought. Will definitely pay it some attention. Hope your work turned out well in the end!

Peter Pfukwa Mar 2024


Class was incredible! We showed up a bit late and were still embraced by the teacher and the group :)

Nurul Hidayah Teo Mar 2024


Very clear instructions. Fun class! Julia is very sweet. A must try class! Very worth it.

Melanie Phillips Feb 2024


Super friendly teacher who provided easy and clear directions, 2 hrs was the perfect amount of time to not feel rushed or pressured and the time updates from the team were helpful.

Loved choosing our own pieces and getting to paint whatever we liked! Will definitely be back!

Holly West Feb 2024


This was a great class, so relaxing and fun to do! Our teacher was so lovely, I can't remember her name (sorry!) But the class was amazing and I would definitely love to do it again

Thanks so much!

Thea Mucas Feb 2024


I had a wonderful time in the Wheel Throwing class! Our instructor gave very clear instructions and was easy to follow. We had assistance throughout the session and overall I found it to be a welcoming space to learn. It was a great experience!

Wheel Throwing Class: Clay Soirée review by Thea Mucas - Melbourne

Kirstyn Campbell Feb 2024


Amber's hand building class: I've
done alot of pottery classes but amber taught me so much about art, about how to approach your work, and how all ideas have value.

Her teaching felt like I was getting all the knowledge from her extensive experience distilled and communicated in an understandable way.

It is pricey but so worth it if you are thinking about get the skills you need to go further with your work with clay.

Thanks so much amber! Can't wait to see you take over the art world!

Melanie Chan Feb 2024


Loved relaxed and supportive class, Ellie was fabulous and it was a really relaxing way to learn.

Evena Wong Ai Rahn Feb 2024


Loved the beautiful, airy studio. Amber was amazing, helpful, and responsive. It was a bit fast paced initially but she comes around and helps if we miss a step or if things get messy! Great value for money and love that we get to go home with a gorgeous glazed piece

Solida Sieng Feb 2024


Went for my partner's birthday and it was great! The workers were so helpful and friendly. Your newest member of staff (forgot her name) who has started 2 weeks ago was amazing and very nice!

This teacher had a great technique of teaching. She moved her fingers to explain properly and that really helped. Her hand gestures have made an imprint that will last longer.

Purchased as a birthday gift. A great activity with friends to flex your creativity, with a broad selection of ceramics to choose from and a relaxing environment. Team are super helpful and patient! I can’t wait to see our finished pieces

Fatima Yehia Feb 2024


This class was really fun and worth it! I brought my friend for her birthday and she loved it heaps. Teachers were kind and the space was set up well. So happy with our creations and can't wait to pick them up!

Lisa Butterworth Feb 2024


Fantastic learning the art of clay throwing by Amber. Went with mum for a Xmas present and we laughed a lot. Can’t wait to see what our pieces come out like and keen to try it again in future. Definitely good for beginners

Molly Waldron Feb 2024


The class is accessible to all skill levels, and the time frame was perfect to create a piece we were both happy with

Narelle Plevey Feb 2024

Really friendly and chill atmosphere, only feedback is that I wish there were some templates/generic ideas/examples of what to paint for people who maybe aren't so creative but overall we had a great session - can't wait to pick up the final product!

Reshma Madhi Feb 2024


The teacher provided a welcoming, inclusive space and made everyone feel at home - they explained the process well and provided lots of support and encouragement, so great for beginners.

There were options to choose a colour for the finished pieces and you were able to create a few pieces too.

Great weekend activity option whether you're solo, with friends or as part of a couple. Lots of fun and enjoyable - the two hours went by quickly.

Jeffrey Zhao Feb 2024


Great space, selection of materials and ceramic selection to paint on! Teacher was readily available for any questions

Did this class for a wedding anniversary. Instructor was amazing and helpful, we were well taken care of and had a great time. Would highly recommend.

Emily Morrow Feb 2024


Had an amazing time. Purchased the class for my partners birthday and we had a really great time. Instructor was wonderful, she explained everything really well and was happy to assist when we needed help.

Kiya Doig Feb 2024


I went with my partner. The teacher had a great energy and was clearly very skilled. It was a fun time. Despite the hot weather it was fairly comfortable. I bought the class with gift vouchers I got in black friday sale at 30% off which made it extra good value. My only suggestion is that a sheet with written steps or prompts to jog the memory would be amazing.

Jessica Jones Feb 2024


Such a fun class. Amber was very helpful, patient and encouraging, so I never felt bad about being bad!

Colm Flynn Feb 2024


We had so much fun, Sophie was a great teacher too. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing! Wheel Throwing clay is such a technical skill. I've left feeling so happy, supported and proud of the work I've made. Any little hiccups were guided, helped and I'm super excited to book in for another class. Thank you!

Peter Horsfall Jan 2024


Teacher and the session were wonderful. The atmosphere was also great, with chill music and good vibes. My partner and I would highly recommend anyone wanting to try clay throwing for the first time to go here.

Alexia Le Millour Jan 2024


An amazing class with a wonderful instructor! We enjoyed it so much. I would highly recommend!

Rachel Cheong Jan 2024


I don’t think this can be marketed as a class because there was actually no teaching bar the 5-10 minutes the organiser took to run through housekeeping including not to waste their paint. The rest of the 2 hours were left to the participants to paint their own pieces. Colour palette was also rather limited with bottles not labelled correctly. If this continues to be marketed as a class and charge fees then there should be more teaching and step by step guidance as the participants go along. Example to make sure everyone is on track in preparing the ceramic by water coating, tips on base colouring including what shades to use and avoid; design tips, colouring tips especially if shading is intended or dark vibrant colours are intended and multiple coats may be required etc. The person running the course was also rather abrupt such as not asking politely for the participants to move when arranging seats and not being organised and clear enough at the start to arrange people into seats if there were specific requirements. There’s also no facility or space to leave jackets and bags while painting and no clear instruction to not bring any of these given there is no space to store them.

Teacher's response

Hi Rachel
I just wanted to write and thank you for your review. We’ve had a very clunky start to the year but your feedback has helped us change things up before the year really gets going. We’ve changed our teachers, put in place a better class plan, and sorted out the studio to make it work better for clients all thanks to you. As a show of our thanks we’d love to send you a $50 voucher to use here in the sStudio or in our new Shop on Victoria St which will open on February 23rd. If you’re OK with that let us know and we will email it thru to you?
Thanks again and best of luck for 2024.

Christine Keeley Jan 2024


Class was so much fun! Better than I expected. We really got into it and was able to create 3 master pieces.
I’m surprised that we were able to accomplish so much in such a short time.
The teacher was a super star

My sibling and I attended this class together and had a lovely time. Our teacher, Emma, did a fantastic job of showing us the ropes before we began and was encouraging and helpful throughout the session. All materials provided, and loved that we could all choose from a range of different vessels etc. to paint. It was a relaxing and mindful experience, though I did rush at the end (I was painting the entirety of a bowl and wanted to ensure there were enough coats of paint on every section). And they happened to be playing what felt like my entire iTunes library during my high school years (indie music of the 2000-2010 era) - a pleasant throwback!

Lorna Hendry Jan 2024


This is a very hands-off session in terms of instruction. I'm not sure what instruction you might need, but you essentially choose an unpainted ceramic piece, get shown the paints and then off you go for 2 hours. The venue is good but be prepared to sit on a high stool, which may not be for everyone. I think it is best suited to a social outing, rather than a 'learning and making one' - bring a friend or two and a bottle to share.

Lorna Hendry Jan 2024


I enjoyed this workshop but I suspect my expectations were a bit high! I did find the throwing quite a bit harder than I expected and got a bit frustrated when I wasn't really able to make anything that felt "good enough". That says a lot more about me than the class though! Amber was a great teacher and very helpful, and all the tools and materials were great. The venue is a lovely space - very welcoming and comfortable. I do recommend it - probably best to approach is a bit of fun, come with a friend or two and bring a drink to share.

Anjalie Gunasekera Jan 2024


Super chill and relaxing experience, my sister and I loved it. There were so many colours to choose from and the teacher explained everything clearly, was always near by to help. Would definitely recommend Perfect activity for a cute date or catch up!

Ann-Maree Hannon Jan 2024


Our family had a really enjoyable morning painting pottery. We are all looking forward to seeing if our vision actually matches the reality when we pick up the finished pieces.

Delwyn Maxwell Jan 2024


Really great experience. We needed to change our booking at the last minute and the team were extremely helpful. The actual day was brilliant: relaxed and fun - the two hours flew by and could easily have spent another 2 hours. Great for a relaxing weekend idea, ideal for de-stressing and grounding.

Libby Thomson-Brown Jan 2024


Great fun! The teacher was really nice and happy to answer any questions. Good for beginners and experts because you can set your own challenge/design. Workshop could maybe be half an hour longer because some of us were rushing to finish. Can’t wait to see what it looks like glazed & finished!

The venue was lovely, an open space with good airflow and a nice atmosphere. The teacher was great, very helpful and you could ask any questions you wanted. The experience was really nice. It was lovely to be able to spend two hours painting. The choice of ceramic was wide too. You could choose a mug, a bowl, a vase, a plate, and all manner of other cool creations. My mum, sister and I really enjoyed this class and are looking forward to seeing how our pieces turn out.

Leah Kilemade Jan 2024


Really chill way to spend an afternoon. Sophie was energetic and fun and made the class so enjoyable. Was my first time to try throwing but we were guided and helped the whole way through. Surprisingly, I succeeded in making a cute lil bowl

Went to this class as it was recommended by a friend and I have never done pottery before. We were walked through everything and could grab extra assistance if needed. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and the teacher was wonderful. Considering all the behind the scenes work to prepare and then fire/glaze/finish, the class price is also very good.

Peter Spiranac Jan 2024


Great experience where you are free to create whatever you want. Looking forward to seeing the finished and glazed product!

Amber was an awesome instructor. Very clear with instructions and kept everyone organised. Lots of fun and once we grasped the idea of what we were doing, we were able to do our thing. Everything you need is provided. We did it as a family group which was great but could see it as a great team building activity or fun activity for friends. Would definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t had a go at wheel throwing. Thanks Amber Looking forward to picking up our pots!

Teacher, Amber, was incredible. The whole vibe was very chill and we learnt a lot. Had a lot of fun - great experience!

Vi Tran Nov 2023


Good experience, would have been better if the teacher had broken down the instructions and let us follow along step by step. As by the time they had demonstrated the whole process and it was our turn, a lot of people had already forgotten the first few steps.

My Tuong Ho Nov 2023


It was a cute and relaxing experience with vibey tunes. Excited to collect our pieces!

Louise Ellard Nov 2023

As soon as we arrived Emma was making us feel welcomed and comfortable. She showed us to our working area and explained everything beautifully.

My friend and I will definitely be back to create art in more pieces. Stay tuned Lol

Fiona Weegink Nov 2023

We had such a lovely afternoon. There were 11 of us, all beginners. Hats off to the incredibly patient teachers that were so kind to us all. I cannot wait to collect our, far from perfect, creations. Many of us said that we barely caught up with one and another because we were so focused and dedicated to the wheel and each step! A lovely hands-on activity we will all look fondly back on! Thanks so much!

Rebecca Cattran Nov 2023


A relaxed and supportive introduction to the wheel throwing. Good sized class and nice location.

Hamad & Ohood Nov 2023


I recently had the pleasure of taking a wheel throwing class, and I can't say enough about the fantastic experience I had. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home.

The instructor was not only knowledgeable but also patient and encouraging, which was a huge relief as a beginner. They guided us through the intricate process of wheel throwing with ease, and their passion for the art was truly inspiring.

The class itself was so much fun, and I learned more than I ever expected. The hands-on experience was both relaxing and invigorating. I left the class with a newfound appreciation for pottery and a beautiful piece I had created myself.

I can't recommend this wheel throwing class enough. If you're looking for a creative and enjoyable experience with a warm and friendly atmosphere, this is the place to be. I'll definitely be back for more classes in the future!

Emily Vuong Nov 2023


Loved the class, it was perfectly structured m as an intro to wheel throwing! 2 hours flew by. I highly recommend if you just want to give it a go and do something a little different as a social activity with friends. I made a coffee cup and am so excited to pick it up in 4 weeks time.

Helena Kalfas Nov 2023


Amazing We had the best time, our teacher was great, she was really encouraging and super helpful, but also let us do our own thing and we didn’t feel pressure/ rushed at all. Was such a great date night, the most peaceful, wholesome space

Definitely will be back

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


Rather than giving us endless clay to make mistakes, I think I would have preferred actual technique correction so that we left knowing we had created something we liked. We kept making the same mistakes over and over again with little direction on how to improve. It was still fun and would like to try it again

Teacher's response

Thanks so much for your honest feedback and so sorry that you left feeling so frustrated.! Wheel throwing is a really technical task. Based on your comments our team have discussed how we can help our students feel a better sense of achievement so we are really grateful you took the time to let us know. I hope we see you at Mayfield Street again.

I really enjoyed this class! There was heaps of pottery items including vases, mugs, bowls and plates to pick from, as well as inspiration pieces and photos to help inspire your design. The teachers were also very helpful and made sure we had all the supplies we needed and grabbed extra paint pots or brushes for us. They also provide a pad and pencil where you can draw your design before you start painting. Definitely excited to see it once it is glazed and ready for pick up!

Definitely recommend booking your pottery painting class as a fun activity!

the folk that run the studio are so knowledgeable and so willing to help, regardless of your ideas and your level of experience. this is just one of the pieces i made on the wheel, kind of a mini chalice in the 'oilspot' glaze'.

What a fun class to do! We had wonderful teachers who took us through what to do at the start and were always available to answer questions and make recommendations at any time.
So great that we could bring our own wine & food too.
We had a wonderful time trying to be creative and learning more about ceramics.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Clay Soiree! I unfortunately for the life of me cannot remember our teachers name but we attended on the 27th of Aug at 12:30 and she was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she incredibly helpful, but funny too!
I love the vibe of this studio, it is super cute and you are given everything you could need to make some great products. The fact you get to glaze your own product with cute colours was so cool!
A real 10/10 experience - would definitely recommend!

Ahinsa Gunatilaka Aug 2023

The Clay Soirée workshop was excellent, the instructor was great at giving instructions and helping people, she wandered around and gave assistance and advice. I would recommend this workshop, as it is good value for money, you can select from a variety of clay pieces to paint and there is also good variety in glaze colors. I’m excited to see the finished products in a few weeks.

Great space, well laid out with plenty of room. Teacher explained everything clearly with demonstrations - always available to help. Plenty of time to get the feel of the clay and super fun.

Kevin Aug 2023


It's not as easy as you think Our instructor was lovely! She explained all the steps required (and there are many) and let us get on with it to make mistakes so we could learn on the next try. Doesn't matter if you mess up your piece, juest get another lump of clay and start again with "Dry Hands Dy Clay".

She managed to save a couple of my near disaster attempts and I turned out 2 nice bowls which I'm looking forward to using them once it has been painted and dried. There were 8 of us altogher so it was an intimate and fun experience and lots of help. I'd definately recommend to give this a go, it's funfrustratingand rewarding. You won't get 3 feeelings like that in any other class

Parking wasn't as bad on the Sunday at 3pm so there wasn't an issue but you will find lots of off street parking in and around the residential area.

Richard White Aug 2023


I recently attended a clay throwing class, and it was an outstanding experience. Right from the start, the instructor greeted us with warmth, ensuring everyone felt welcomed. The complimentary coffee was a lovely touch, making the atmosphere even cozier.

The hands-on guidance we received was invaluable. My friend and I, being beginners, appreciated the patience and expertise of our instructor. By the end of the session, we had crafted some delightful coffee mugs and bowls.

Highly recommend this class for anyone looking to try their hand at pottery. It's not just about the craft; it's also about the people and the memories you create.

Jennett Aug 2023


Sophie was brilliant in demonstrating and helping throughout the class. Great relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time to make mistakes and more items. Well worth coming with a friend, team or I would feel comfortable coming on my own.
Great fun and I will come again

Alyssa Arizo Aug 2023


Elly/Ellie was a great teacher. She was patient and also knew when to speed things up for us so that we could spend more time throwing the wheel. Generous with the time and materials and great value for money. 2 hours was more than enough to go through the content and allow us to practice. The location wasn’t difficult to access either. Overall a great and fun way to spend time with friends or with a special someone. Would be good to advise that our clothes may or may not be splattered with clay but that’s all right.

Charlie Charlton Aug 2023


Beautiful studio and everyone was welcoming and warm. Great teachers who gave an informative demonstration on technique. Afterwards, we had a lot of time to create multiple pieces. It’s the perfect class for beginners and if you’re curious about picking up wheel throwing as a hobby.

It was a good beginners class. It would have been better to have instructions as we go along rather than instructions for the whole experience at the very start so people could understand the overall flow of the exercise and know when to do what. As the studio also shared space with other activities, at times it was a little bit noisy especially when instructions were given out. Overall it was fun to try this out.

Megan Brooks Aug 2023


Had a fun night with the girls, teachers were lovely and well organised, thank you!

Erica Bettiol Aug 2023


Gorgeous venue, and very friendly staff.

A great day out. Bring your own drinks and snacks and settle in for a couple of hours of creativity!

The class description states that you'll paint a cheese platter, unfortunately there were no platters on offer. There were many unique ceramic items you could choose from, mostly bowls and cups.

Penelope McKelvie Aug 2023


Great class! Wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon! The class group size was only 10 students which was good because it meant our teacher (Audrey) could give everyone enough 1:1 attention and assistance. The instructions at the start of the class were super thorough and helpful. Plenty of time left for having a good go on the wheel too. We really enjoyed ourselves and are very much looking to picking up our finished pieces in the coming weeks…. There were so many lovely coloured glazes to pick from at the end of class as well! Thanks Audrey! :)

Fabulous class! We had so much fun and really enjoyed the thoughtful touches (tea, little cakes to celebrate birthday). What was great also was we got to pick our glaze which I know a lot of other studios don’t let you do. Our teacher Ellie was awesome and very knowledgeable. 10/10 experience! :)

This was the most relaxing and creative experience I've ever had!
The atmosphere was laid back and artistic, soft music and background videos playing through a projector. Everyone that works here is sweet and very knowledgeable, you can tell they love what they do!
The materials were easy to work with, which made the experience that much more relaxing. My friend and I had an amazing time sipping on tea, chatting and slowly painting our ceramic dishes!
If you're looking for something relaxed and creative to do with friends, family or a partner, I cannot recommend this enough!

Pottery class review by Alison Whaley - Melbourne

Aditya Dhawan Jul 2023


The class was fun but there wasn’t enough support to ask questions. It’s a pretty hands on activity and one teacher among a big group is not enough.

Teacher's response

Hi Aditya,

My name is Sally. I own and run Mayfield Street Studios.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our class. I’m so sorry that you didn’t receive our usual five-star experience while you were here. We have been pretty proud of our five-star average until now so it's really worrying that you didn’t receive the instruction that you expected. Would you like to return and do the class again with a different teacher at no charge? We have some great teachers at Mayfield Street who love teaching our students really well and coming a second time could really enhance your throwing skills. Or you could return to take part in one of our ceramic painting sessions instead. A lot of people really enjoy the painting sessions because they are so relaxing with friends, you paint a piece of stoneware pre-thrown by our Mayfield Makers, and you can BYO everything!

Just let us know which you would prefer and we will send you a booking link to reserve a space.

I hope we can meet you at Mayfield Street again.

All the best.
Sally

Sophie and Emma were excellent teachers, we had such a fun morning throwing clay for the first time. The venue was well set up and you had the option to make as many pots/cups/etc. as you could within the two hours, only having to pay $10 per extra item (the first one is included in the price). You also got to choose the colour that your clay was glazed with, which was an added bonus. We will definitely be back soon, can't fault the experience at all

Audrey was a clear, patient teacher.
Thanks!

Terrific pottery wheel throwing class this Saturday morning.
Lovely friendly instructor who took the time to make everyone feel welcome and provide individualised advice, encouragement and coaching as we worked.
The venue is a well designed airy space with heater (it was mid winter), water, coat storage etc and excellent clean quiet and modern pottery wheels.
The experience was great value for money as we discovered it includes firing and glazing of the pots, bowls and mugs we created.
Truly a lovely introduction to pottery in a great space and with generous instruction - looking forward to going back for more sessions on the wheel :)

Tahbisa Deng Jun 2023


The teacher was funny , helpful and very knowledgeable. The venue itself was well organised and not too hard to find . The class had enough material that were good quality . I would say it was great value for money as we get to take the final pieces home. I learnt the different techniques to make a pottery piece and that you need to be patient and slow down . I enjoyed the process of failing and trying again until I got a decent enough piece . Also huge shoutout to Emma and Audrey for helping me rebook after missing some of the class . It just goes to show how much they value the people who book and try to accomodate them.

Sophie Waincymer Jun 2023


The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the teacher was really helpful and very accommodating! We were a group of very chatty and distractable women and she handled us really well and put up with all our endless questions. We all had a ball and left feeling so inspired and excited. Thank you so very much!

Zoe Tang-Chong Jun 2023


It was an amazing class. We booked the 10am session and it was small and intimate. I highly recommend because I was able to ask for help and received attention when my pot went sideways. We are planning to go back and do the clay painting!

Alexandra Minards Jun 2023

Would definitely recommend to a friend

Lilliana Millucci Jun 2023


We attended the 12:30-2:30 painting session and it was awesome. Emma was a really great teacher, she helped when needed and was super lovely and easy to approach. Would definitely recommend to friends and anyone who is considering going to a class. Will be visiting again.

The only thing I would add is to rug up as it is a workshop and a bit chilly in winter! <3

Alex Mackintosh Jun 2023


Great experience! Ange was welcoming, explained everything well and was lots of help to allow us to achieve a bowl each. Would recommend

I can't remember the name of the teacher we had and I feel so bad about that, but it was honestly a fantastic experience. My friend and I found it to be so therapeutic and are excited to pick up what we painted in a couple of weeks.

It was great although I would have not mind a one on one so I could have learnt how to manage the wheel and clay. Most of the time I was trying to work it out. It really wasn’t worth the value.

The teachers were great and welcoming.

Hee-Young Shin Jun 2023

We had so much fun at Mayfield, we were given the perfect amount of instruction but were also able to be completely creative with our designs! Would highly recommend.

Feren Yen Jun 2023


The class flew by and we learned the basics of using a pottery wheel. The instructor started with a demo and then walked around to assist those in need. Great for beginners to get a taste of pottery. It would have been great to have another 15 mins to practice. Most people completed 1-2 pieces which they fire and glaze for you with pick up 4 weeks after the workshop. Make sure you wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty and bring a hair tie.

Before we even stepped inside, Emma was incredibly kind and even let me break one of the faulty ceramics so that we could practise on it. Emma was thoughtful and considerate and allowed ample time for any questions or queries we had regarding the experience. The atmosphere was incredibly positive and supportive.

My wife and I attended this hands on class to create our art on the different types of clay that was provided.

The venue was chill and spacious, very well organised. There was another class being held for wheel throwing but it wasn't too distracting at all, once we got in the zone of making our piece I was able to focus and block out any distraction.

It was lovely to have such an enthusiastic teacher who assisted in any way, the coffee was good and we left the class quite proud of ourselves.

Hailey Pendergrass May 2023


I organised a pottery class for my corporate team of 13 people, and it was an amazing experience. The studio went out of their way to accommodate us, giving us the opportunity to try both wheel throwing and hand painting activities. The studio provided a spacious and inviting atmosphere, and the instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. In addition, they graciously allowed us to order pizza and drinks to the studio, even staying late so we could enjoy our dinner without feeling rushed. This level of flexibility and customer service exceeded our expectations, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment for team bonding.

I highly recommend this pottery class for team-building activities. The studio, the friendly instructors, and their willingness to accommodate our group made it an exceptional experience.

It was a great session. My partner and I had so much fun. Met friendly people. Staffs week friendly and helpful. Teacher was great. She guided and helped whenever needed

I just felt the 2 hours was very rushed because the tracking takes a while and we need to get used to the wheel and have movement. Then cleaning. Towards the end it became very rushing for many of us.

Everything from the venue (so beautiful, so aesthetic, so vibey, and we ended up strolling around cafes nearby), the teacher (Sally was just so lovely. One of the major reasons why we'll be coming back), to the actual experience itself (2 hours flew by!).

Very supportive teacher. Very hands on in guiding us. A fantastic class to take to de-stress after work

My friend and I had such a fun time painting our platters! We just wished we were more prepared with an idea of what to paint beforehand. The location and studio vibes were so inspiring! Can’t recommend enough. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
(Plus we had a cute guest puppy which made it even more special!)

I painted some pottery with friends at 2Mayfieldst for my birthday and had such a lovely evening, the staff really went above and beyond to make it a wonderful evening. 10/10 would recommend!

My partner and I attended a pottery class, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Our teacher Sophie was super helpful, really easy to get along with and had lots of passion which made the experience so worth it! I loved the studio, and the general vibes! I got this as a gift but will already be coming back for some more classes :) would highly recommend this to anyone!

We had a group of 7 for my birthday and had the best time! We had all the materials we needed, the space was beautiful and we talked, laughed, drank and got our paint on. We were so happy with our finished pieces and can’t wait to pick them up!

Great teacher, experienced but relaxed. Venue and team were perfect, couldn't have asked for more. And the price was very reasonable for what we did. Would give another start if I could

The whole team was so friendly and were so patient and helpful with all our questions! Such a great activity for a gift. We are so excited to pick up our finished pieces :)

My friend and I had so much fun at this class. The whole team were super friendly when we arrived and the space was set up well. Sophie was a wonderful instructor and made it look easy (it certainly isn’t) but she was a great teacher and I made a bowl and a mug which I’m very excited to pick up soon.

My friends and I had such an amazing time in the ceramic painting workshop! Sally and Emma were extremely accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend this class for a relaxing and fun time :)

Our clay session with Sophie was thoroughly enjoyed by our whole group. Sophie is a skilled teacher and ensured that each of us was progressing and creating something we were happy with. The session left us feeling very positive and relaxed, having spent a few hours in the gorgeous creative vibe of Mayfield.
