Clay and Sip Class

Get your hands dirty and unleash your inner artist in Newcastle!



2 hours Class size 1 to 20 guests    

  $95 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Our most booked hand building class, and the easiest way into clay if you've never touched it. Two hours shaping by hand in our Newcastle studio. No wheel, no experience, no pressure.
This class includes one final item, which is fired and ready for you to pick up around 3-4 weeks later. Yes, it’s functional - you can pop it in the microwave/dishwasher.
Mezze boards are available as an add-on at the checkout screen.
This class is BYO. Bring your wine, beer, juice box, snacks, whatever you're into. We keep a small supply of cups in the studio, first in best dressed, so bring your own if you're particular.
*Work may crack or even explode during kiln firing; we do not offer refunds for such instances. If your piece is mistakenly picked up by someone else, we regret we cannot offer refunds. Ensure your name is clearly marked on your work.
Self-managed NDIS must ‘not’ book via the website, please email the studio.
What you'll get
A hand built mug, bowl, vase or small planter. Your call.

What to bring
Bring yourselves and wear some old clothes and enclosed shoes that you don't mind getting clay on them. BYO drinks & snacks.
Bring clothes you don't mind getting clay on, and closed shoes. Short nails help more than you'd think. Leave the rest to us, we've got the clay, the tools and the teaching.
