Clay Sculpture and Hand Building

What you'll do

Experiment and learn how to make your own ceramics at this fun hand-building clay class in Melbourne!

This pottery class is the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to have some hands-on experience working with clay. This informative and fun workshop will teach you everything you need to know about how to prepare clay before it is thrown.

Your experienced pottery teacher will give lots of detailed live demonstrations and will be on hand to answer any questions and give help as you need it. During the course of the class, you’ll have the chance to experiment and create a few different objects. To allow time for your pieces to dry, be glazed and fired, you won’t be able to take them home with you on the day. They will be ready for collection following your class.

This fun, hands-on workshop is a perfect option for a hens party or corporate outing, just remember to wear casual clothing as they’re guaranteed to get splattered with clay. All of your materials including the clay and tools will be provided on the day.
