• 5/5 from Soon-Tzu Speechley, attended May 2026: Sunroom Studio is an excellent place to learn pottery. I came to these classes with limited experience, and learnt in just six weeks. Caine was an excellent teacher, who encouraged us to pursue projects we were interested in and gave clear instructions for how to achieve them. Other staff I met during the open studio sessions were incredibly friendly too. The studio is conveniently located near a tram stop, and is a cozy space for making ceramics. I look forward to taking more classes at Sunroom!
• 5/5 from Anthony Young, attended Mar 2026: This was my second beginners class and I will be signing up again. I love the studio and they are really accommodating and able to be flexible when needed. It's got a great vibe.
• 5/5 from Julie Hogan, attended Mar 2026: This class was a follow-up to the first 6 week course and allowed more time for hands-on work with great assistance from Lisa. It's a collaborative and welcoming studio which encourages all students regardless of skill level. Lisa is an engaging, enthusiastic and experienced potter and teacher. I enjoyed this course, learnt a great deal, and found teachers and other students very helpful. It was also great to see everyone's creativity.
• 5/5 from Sarah Hogan, attended Mar 2026: It was absolutely amazing, we loved our term course! All the staff there are so lovely and helpful, and the vibe in the studio with other potters is beautiful. Cannot rate this highly enough!
• 5/5 from Harper Allsopp, attended Mar 2026: I absolutely loved this course! My teacher Frankie was great and really simplified all the steps to make them easy to grasp. Whenever I was struggling with something they would run me through all the steps so that I could understand where I was going wrong. Everyone else that works at the studio is lovely too and I would often ask other teachers for advice when I was using the practice room. I learnt a lot and I’m really excited to continue on with my pottery journey and see where it takes me. Thanks sunroom!
• 5/5 from Tory D’Alessandro, attended Jan 2026: I did the beginners 6 week course with Lorelai and could not speak more highly of her or the course. Lorelai was really welcoming, patient and helpful which made my time at sunroom even better. I loved being able to experiment with wheel throwing and different glazes and seeing the pieces come together over the weeks. It’s such a satisfying process and a really nice creative outlet. I loved it so much I hope to do another course next term!
• 5/5 from Anthony Young, attended Jan 2026: I had the absolute best time. This studio is amazing. Flexible when I had to miss a class with catch up. The extra practice hours are amazing. Cain was a brilliant and really chill teacher. I am signing up immediately again.
• 5/5 from Kathryn Hogan, attended Jan 2026: Phenomenal class and lovely studio with genuinely nice, supportive people. Lisa was an incredible and very patient teacher. We learned so much! She really went out of her way to help ensure we understood the principles of working with clay and give us confidence and supportive hands on teaching on the wheel. Highly recommend for anyone interested in a new hobby with really lovely people. We'll be back for more!
• 5/5 from Jay Balakrishna, attended Jan 2026: Just out of interest I started this class which was near to where I lived. Enjoyed it thoroughly, all instructors who taught incl the replacement for glazing were really good and professional. Our host was understanding and assisted wherever required. What I liked most was creating something out of the clay, give it form and follow my instincts on shaping it the way I wanted.
• 5/5 from Caterina Sbeghen, attended Jan 2026: Such a lovely class that I looked forward to every week. I only wish the classes were longer as the weeks went by so quick! We went through the basics of throwing on the wheel, trimming, and glazing pottery. Lorelei is a fantastic teacher who creates such a supportive and lovely environment. Her throwing demos were really great and helpful in breaking down the steps. The bonus open studio sessions you get are really helpful as well for practicing outside of class time.
• 5/5 from Ebony Alexander, attended Jan 2026: This was the best experience ever. Lorelei was an absolutely angel and connected so well with our class. I adored her teaching style and just overall manner. She was knowledgeable, warm, skilled and very patient with our questions and support needs. An absolute asset to Sunroom. If you’re starting out, needing a hobby, wanting to ground yourself, or just wanting to have fun without pressure - this is your place! Can’t wait to be back next term to hone my new skills.
• 5/5 from Alexandra Burns, attended Sep 2025: 6 week term. Lots of fun and great value too! Lisa was a great and supportive instructor. She explained things in a lot of depth and gave a really good overview of the principles of pottery.
• 5/5 from Emily Smart, attended Sep 2025: I tried the marble clay this term and I learnt so much about how different clays work best together and how the marbled clay can behave just based on just wedging differently it was an awesome term! Caine gave heaps of feedback during class as well and his checking in often was super helpful for when I didn’t know I needed help lol
• 5/5 from Kim King, attended Sep 2025: the class is very instructive, Lisa does an amazing job and will show you how to make anything you can think of i find the classes very therapeutic on the mind and the hands
• 5/5 from Jordan Walter, attended Sep 2025: This course was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly to anyone looking to get into wheel throwing for the first time, or those looking to refine their skills. Sunroom Studio were so flexible, and would happily arrange for you to attend an alternative class if you couldn’t make your normal session. The extra practice session each week is a huge bonus, and makes a massive difference in skill progression. My instructor was Caine, and he was a fantastic teacher. Our classes were so much fun, and I highly recommend you sign up!

• 5/5 from Tamsyn Bright, attended May 2025: I have been interested in learning wheel throwing for years!! This course was so worth it. We had a fairly small class of six people which meant that it was easy to ask questions as we learnt. Lorelei was a great teacher

• 5/5 from Natasha F, attended Mar 2025: Excellent class, love how it stepped through each week learning new things and learning the path of making pottery from wedging up the clay to finished product. Teachers provided class demonstration and one on one guidance so no matter what level you are at you could learn at your own pace. Sunroom Studio fantastic place to learn the craft.
