  $85 (Afterpay available)

Nestled in the serene heart of the Adelaide Hills, this hands-on pottery class invites you to explore your creativity in a charming garden studio surrounded by native trees and birdsong.
In this relaxed, inspiring setting, you’ll create your own bird-shaped wall pieces using hand-building techniques and simple clay tools—no prior experience needed.
Guided by a local ceramic artist, you'll shape your birds with care, then decorate them using a sgraffito technique with vibrant folk art-inspired patterns, drawing on motifs from nature, traditional embroidery, and rustic storytelling symbols. Whether you lean toward whimsical or minimalist designs, you'll be encouraged to find your own folk-inspired voice.
You’ll be part of a small, friendly group crafting pieces that bring charm, personality, and a touch of folklore to your home. Fired and finished by the artist, your creations will be ready for collection or delivery in the weeks following the class.
A perfect experience for nature lovers, art enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a mindful escape in a beautiful hillside setting.

Alison is a full-time studio potter and teacher living in the Adelaide Hills. She has been making pots for over 30 years but clay has been a part of her life from early childhood. Memories include hands in the sticky red ‘Murram’ mud in Kenya where she spent several years as a child, and at high school in the UK creating elaborate sculptural animals and Celtic inspired coil pots.
Alison began formal studies as soon as she came to live in Australia in 1999 gaining a BA at Adelaide Centre for the Arts. She then took up a place on the associate training scheme at the JamFactory in Adelaide and continued as a studio tenant. Before setting up her own studio she took up further study at the University of South Australia obtaining a Graduate Diploma in Arts and Cultural Management.
Alison has built up an extensive library of forming and decorating techniques and enjoys sharing these with students as well as using them to make and decorate pots from the functional to the whimsical. Drinking vessels, bowls, kitchenware are thrown on the wheel with practical simplicity or delicately formed by hand into ultra-fine porcelain objects. She relishes every part of the process of making from design stage and consideration of form and function to indulging in the elaborate, highly decorated whimsy of exhibition pieces.
