In this series of three classes, you'll learn wheel throwing, trimming, and glazing basic cylinders. The classes are relaxed and perfect for beginners - you won't feel rushed at all.You'll get detailed demonstrations, and lots of feedback wherever you need it; the classes are deliberately kept small so that you get enough attention from the teacher.The finished (fired) pottery you make will be yours to keep. You'll create cylindrical ceramics, which could be any of the following (or even something different - let your imagination run wild!):
Bowls and plates
Mugs and cups
Stationary/cutlery holders
Planters or vases
Food bowl for your pet
Candle holder
Most students will create three different objects. Will yours be elegant? A bit crazy? Clever? Exploring themes from your childhood or your travels? Something unexpected? We can't wait to see what you'll make.Each class is two hours long, and you'll enjoy one class per week, for three weeks - this allows enough time for drying and firing your pieces in between the classes. Note that you must attend the same time slot for the subsequent two weeks. E.g. if your first class is on 1st Jan, your second must be on 8th Jan, and your third must be 15th Jan. This is is because the students you'll be learning with in each workshop will all be at the same learning stage as you. $210 covers all three classes in the series.* Silky Shapes Studio is a female owned, independent pottery studio listed on ClassBento’s online marketplace.

5/5 from Hana Jamali, attended Dec 2024: The teacher was very patient and very sweet! She was very clear and made beginner experience of clay throwing a little less scary.

5/5 from Kim Hardwick, attended May 2024: I had the best time! Have always wanted to do it but it wasn’t till my kids and ex wife got me a voucher for my birthday that I committed myself to doing it! Although nervous and lacking any type of creative talent or ability, I just had a go. My first lesson was amazing! I had so much fun, was covered in clay (use an apron) yet couldn’t stop smiling and giggling to myself. The 2nd lesson was much of the same and the third really tested my creativity. I can’t wait to see the final product! The teachers were great, so patient and able to teach and guide at all levels. It was nice to get out, learn, chat and laugh with some like minded people.

This was also combined with visual demonstrations which accommodated all types of learners. The venue is convenient and close to public transport. The materials were good and easy to work with and all tools were provided. The class was very informative and good length for weekly consecutive sessions. I learned a lot and it was a great crash course. I learned enough to take away and refine my skills with practice. The class size was small and intimate and ensured you did not get lost or forgotten about. I also loved the succulents and orchids that adorned the windows in the studio! Added charm and inspiration. Thank you!
5/5 from Deepali Parashar, attended Feb 2019: It was my first time doing pottery and it’s a really good experience. I loved it the way my teacher (Jioana) explained the each steps from the starting. I still need to learn more which can only gain by experience and more practice. I definitely recommend my friends to try upcoming class sessions.

Yegana?(sorry not sure how to spell her name) is an absolutely lovely instructor- she caters for all abilities and makes sure that everyone is on the same page.
