Slow down, center and create



1 hour Location Matraville Class size 3 to 4 guests   $75 - $90 ($90 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $75/guest for 4 guests) (Afterpay available)

Held in a small group, this beginner-friendly pottery class offers a mindful introduction to the pottery wheel and invites you to experience Wheelfulness. Through the Wheelfulness approach, the wheel is not only used for shaping clay, but also for cultivating somatic mindfulness.
With step-by-step guidance, you will experience the ‘wheelful’ way of centering clay and forming a small bowl or plate on the pottery wheel. Bettina will guide you to connect with your center and maintain a sense of inner stillness as you shape the clay on the spinning wheel. At the end of the session, you will also have the opportunity to add coloured liquid clay to decorate your piece.
Glazing and kiln-firing are included in your booking fee, and your finished pieces will be ready for collection in three weeks after the class.
What you'll get
  • A mindful introduction to the pottery wheel.
  • Small-group class capped at four participants.
  • Step-by-step guidance throughout the session.
  • Glazing and kiln-firing of your piece are included.
  • Calm and welcoming studio space.

  • 5/5 from Willow Robinson, attended Aug 2026: Bettina went through everything step by step in a very mindful way that was easy to follow. So happy with our final products and I can’t wait to come back with friends and family! Such a good, peaceful and fun class with a very helpful teacher.
  • 5/5 from Josh Lemon, attended Aug 2026: She was wonderful. We were a little late, but she was still able to accommodate us and ran the class a little longer for us. We had a range of 11yo to 70yo and all really got along with her.
  • 5/5 from T Paramanandarajah, attended Aug 2026: Bettina was great! She was very patient with us throughout the whole class and explained every step clearly. She made the experience fun, relaxed, and easy to follow. I'd highly recommend :)
  • 5/5 from Luciana Santana da Silva, attended Jun 2026: Amazing class! It was my first pottery class, and now I look for to doing it more and more. Betina, the teacher, is very pacient and explains very well. Thank you so much for today. I highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Holly Webber, attended May 2026: Bettina was so patient and clear when teaching how to use the wheel. She also had so much interesting information around clay therapy and the benefits and really spoke you through the meaning and the why it’s so beneficial. I would really recommend this class if you’re looking for something fun to try and to meet amazing people along the way!! Thank you Bettina!
  • 5/5 from Leo Zhu, attended May 2026: Very nice studio, patient teacher, perfect for a date
  • 5/5 from Asma Wong, attended Jan 2026: It was a brilliant idea to combine mindfulness and pottery together. I was quite stressed and a bit anxious simply as any mom being overbooked but I loved the quality time that I spent with my daughter in experience using Clay and Wheel, I learned that Clay responds instantly to pressure, movement, and intention. I really slowed down and had a good time. Such a nice studio, will come back again.

I'm a somatic clay therapist offering mindfulness-based pottery classes and one-on-one therapy sessions in a calm and welcoming studio.
Before finding my way to clay, I spent several years in academia, completing a PhD in psychology and teaching at university. I began working with clay as a hobby, and over time, what started as a personal mindfulness practice evolved into a professional calling, leading me to train as a Clay Field® therapist.
I started Wheelfulness in 2019, and since then it has become known for its personalised approach that cultivates somatic mindfulness at the pottery wheel. Now, from my new studio in Matraville, I continue to offer small-group pottery classes alongside one-on-one clay therapy sessions.
