1.5 hours

Class size 1 to 25 (public classes), 4 to 30
  $165 (Afterpay available)

In this hands-on ceramic painting class in Canberra with Deep Blue Ceramics, you'll discover the art of clay decorating. Choose from our selection of pre-made pottery pieces and bring them to life with your own unique designs using our special underglaze paints. These paints will set into the clay when fired, creating beautiful and vibrant pieces.
  • Learn the basics of ceramic painting and glazing
  • Select a pottery piece to decorate
  • Use special underglaze paints to create your masterpiece
Don't worry if you're new to pottery painting, this workshop is beginner-friendly and you'll be guided through the process every step of the way. The experience of painting on pottery can be relaxing and therapeutic, allowing your creativity to flourish in a supportive environment.
After the class, your creations will be finished by our team – dried, clear glazed, and fired to perfection. You can pick them up from our studio approximately four weeks later, or we can post them to you if you're not in Canberra. Imagine the joy of having your own beautifully decorated pottery pieces adorning your home or making perfect gifts for loved ones.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 5 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

  • 5/5 from Nisha Amin, attended Jun 2026: Fun and relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Thoroughly enjoyed painting with underglaze and can’t wait to see how my pieces turn out. Helps to go in with a plan, as the time goes quickly. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 from Alice Netting, attended Oct 2025: Lovely and relaxed class, with just the right amount of guidance and help from our instructor to maximise enjoyment whilst letting us enjoy the time and creativity.
  • 5/5 from Miriam Berger, attended Sep 2025: So fun and relaxing! I can’t wait to see how our pieces turn out. You only get 1.5 hours to design + paint so I’d recommend planning your design before you get there.
  • 5/5 from Claire Mass, attended Sep 2025: Absolutely an amazing experience! It was so beautiful and the staff were so lovely. Would recommend it to anyone in a heart beat!
  • 5/5 from Moss May, attended Jul 2025: My boyfriend and I went to pottery painting for our 2 year anniversary and we had a lovely time! Taylor and Matilda were loads of fun and we felt so welcome and very supported to be creative and silly. Such a lovely space and the vibes are immaculate.
  • 5/5 from Molly Adams, attended May 2025: We had such a fantastic time celebrating a friend’s birthday. Kate was amazing, super knowledgeable and lovely. Venue was super cute and even got a glimpse of the new puppy. Would highly recommend to anyone, skilled or with no experience, a fun experience for anyone.
  • 5/5 from Matilda Trevaskis, attended Apr 2025: Really relaxed vibes, friendly teacher and so fun. It would be great to see more examples, stencils maybe? And some more colours :)
  • 5/5 from Carmen Hawker, attended Feb 2025: Such a fun activity for our girls weekend, and the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning! Bron was so lovely and we can't wait to do another.
  • 5/5 from Rebbecca Nudelman, attended Feb 2025: We attended a Sunday class, and although I was initially disappointed when our November class was rescheduled to February, it was absolutely worth the wait. Bron (I hope I got the name right) was fantastic! The class was relaxed and enjoyable. Bron was incredibly encouraging and did a great job of hyping us up. I would definitely go back and do this again
  • 5/5 from Kelly Gamez, attended Sep 2024: Dom was amazing. They were able to provide s private class for my kids and I, do to time restraints. Very relax pace and so helpful. We all loved it.
  • 5/5 from Jahnavi Samprathi, attended Jul 2024: Bought a class for me and my sister for her birthday! It was a great experience. They had many options for items to paint and glazes. The option to paint more for just $30 per piece was great. Bron was lovely and answered all of our questions. We had a great time!
  • 5/5 from Courtney Clark, attended Jul 2024: the class was really great, so many different glaze colours to choose from and different sorts of pottery to choose from like cups, small bowls and platters in the glazing/ painting ceramics class. I would definitely recommend having a few ideas of what you want to paint before the class begins as it takes too much of your allocated time to paint your ceramics which isn't a heap of time if you're looking at doing multiple pieces.
  • 4/5 from Kelly Nicholls, attended May 2024: We done this for a Mother’s Day present and it was great fun everyone really enjoyed it
  • 5/5 from Simona Sarmiento, attended Apr 2024: I recently did a ceramic painting class with a friend and with Amy as the facilitator and it was so much fun! I would highly recommend it, especially to exercise your creative side! I am looking forward to trying other classes too
  • 5/5 from Giselle Bar, attended Feb 2024: My daughter and I had such a fun time. It’s a great activity to do to together and it feels very relaxing. I can’t wait to get my final product. I’ll definitely be doing more classes.

  • 5/5 from Clare Sainsbury, attended Dec 2023: We had a lovely class with Amy in her beautiful studio. Will definitely be returning.

  • 5/5 from Colleen Adams, attended Dec 2023: Was very enjoyable :) Teacher was super friendly and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

  • 5/5 from Penny Deacon, attended Oct 2023: I loved this class. I have wanted to try painting on pottery for ages, and Amy made it really fun and rewarding. She is a welcoming and patient teacher, who knows her stuff inside out and can teach it in an enjoyable and accessible way. I really liked that there was scope for us to take our project in our own direction, and seeing what the other students came up with was really inspiring for me. I had a great time, and getting to take home my hand-painted piccolo cup at the end is the icing on the cake. I can’t wait to try Amy’s other classes.
  • 5/5 from Brianne Windley, attended Oct 2023: Amy was fantastic, accomodating and flexible. We learned some key pottery techniques and were given support and creative freedom to create our own special pieces. Thanks Amy :)
