What an amazing experience, me and my friend booked this last year, we were pregnant back then and we had to reschedule so we were looking forward to it! Tony is a great teacher, with so much knowledge, first time doing pottery and all the pieces came out stunning! We will definitely come back :) the shop is so lovely too! Thanks Nicole & Tony!

This was our first pottery class and a great class for beginners.
It was a small class, very hands on, well paced and we were able to make three different pieces of pottery.
Tony our teacher was kind and knowledge. Would highly recommend!

Natasha Gamage Jun 2026



Tony was amazing! Went through all the concepts and really took the time to guide us through making some beautiful pieces, it was a fabulous session! Definitely recommend to everyone, and we will be back soon!

We didn't really know what to expect, but were up for the adventure of getting behind the pottery wheel for the first time. Tony is an excellent instructor, taking the time to explain technique and give us hands on help. The private instruction really made the day for us and what a cute shoppe downstairs to pick up some plants. Thanks Tony!

My partner and I really enjoyed this workshop as a shared experience for our birthdays. Tony is a fantastic etacher, made the whole thing very approachable and we've come away with 3 beautiful pottery pieces each.

Very relaxing and therapudic. The class was intimate and very good because it is just your partner(s) and the teacher. Really great for beginners because the teacher can take time to make sure you learn how to throw correctly. Amazing value for making extra pieces into finished products, only $25. Overall great studio with nice atmosphere and good company.

My partner and I's pottery class with Tony was a really cool experience. He was knowledgeable and experienced. He struck a perfect balance between guiding us and allowing us to really have a go ourselves.
If you've ever had an interest in doing a pottery class this one is perfect for beginners.

Elly Fong Jan 2026



We had a lovely time. Tony was very patient with us. He's so good at explaining and showing us the way. A private class is definitely the way to go if you want to learn about pottery throwing. Highly recommend!

Siobhan Byford Jan 2026



Excellent class! What a great teacher Tony is, and both he and Nicole (in the beautiful shop downstairs) are so friendly. Tony was very patient and encouraging with my teenage son who made some beautiful pieces. I am so amazed at what a beginner can do with the right guidance, and the process of pottery is really interesting to learn about. Hands on fun! Photo below shows the raw clay pieces made by a 13 year old.

I can’t recommend this class highly enough! Tony was so calm and patient with us, and made sure that we understood every step before moving on to the next. Having a one on one session was perfect as we had a lot of support and feedback during the class. Thank you Tony for such an engaging and informative class!

Rebecca Anderson Oct 2025



The workshop was great! We were able to make 3 pieces each, which we are excited to pick up! We had done a group session in the past but found it hard to grasp all the different steps so it was extremely helpful to do a workshop where we could have one on one attention, and everything was explained clearly. I would recommend this to anyone who is keen to do pottery!

Julianne Schuelke Sep 2025



Exceeded expectations! Tony's got a great way of teaching, it was very engaging, fun and we love our creations. Highly recommend.

Tony was an excellent teacher. He spoke through everything we would be doing at the start and demonstrated clearly, before taking us slowly through our own pottery throwing. He's clearly passionate about pottery and his enthusiasm made the experience so much more engaging. Can't recommend highly enough!

This was the best day. Our teacher Tony was amazing. Experienced with a genuine love for teaching us how to use the wheel and clay. Private lesson was insightful. Beautiful environment all round. Grazing box and wine was fabulous as well. I'll be back!

Awesome experience! We both absolutely loved the class and doing the wheel throwing.
Beautiful end result! 10/10 would fully recommend

Jarred Baines Jun 2025



We had the most wonderful experience. As complete beginners, we weren't sure what to expect. We walked in knowing nothing and left having made three functional and beautiful pieces each. Our teacher was amazing - down to earth and friendly, knowledgeable, passionate, a great communicator. He walked us through it and then guided and supported us as we got on the wheel ourselves. The vibe was easy-going and empowering. We were both blown away by our creations and have decided to return for a follow-up session :D

Daniel Bradley Jun 2025



Our session at Tonic Cernamics was fantastic. We both loved the intimate environmant and the ability to work directly with our host and teacher. We can;t wait to get back our pieces!

Couldn't recommend this more! I have been wanting to try pottery on a wheel and Tony was so patient and helpful! You really learn in this intimate class that allows you hand on assist throughout the class to make some wonderful masterpieces! My mum made an error but Tony assisted her to make a truly unique piece! My husband is keen to try next time even though he never had an interest for pottery!

Demi Montgomery May 2025



It was a great experience! I would highly recommend booking!

He’s amazing at explaining, and also gives you the freedom to play with the clay and have fun with the class. You can tell he loves what he does! Can’t wait to have our creations at our home.
