Dive into the tactile world of pottery with our beginners hand building clay workshop, nestled in the vibrant heart of Melbourne.

For the first 30 minutes, your expert instructor will guide you through the techniques of crafting plates, cups and bowls, as well as the art of adding intricate decorations to your creations.

Then, with 1.5 hours of hands-on practice, you can immerse yourself in the hand building process, bringing your vision to life under the helpful guidance of our teachers.

While this session focuses on the building and sculpting aspect with no glaze, those interested in adding a splash of colour to their creations need to enrol in a second session (you can book the session again) for glaze painting. Please remember to sign your name and the date on the bottom of your work before firing.

Whether you're looking to spend quality time with family, seeking a unique date idea, or simply exploring a new hobby, our beginners hand building clay workshop offers a memorable experience that combines learning, creativity, and fun in a supportive environment.
