Recent reviews of Clay and Sip Pottery Class: Gold Coast

  • 2/5 from Chiara Galmacci, attended Sep 2026: Idk I was expecting a class but it ended up being a few people trying to create something nice with clay. The teachers were not paying much attention, they just handed us a paper with instructions and some tools. The location was not the best as well: the Irish pub was so crowded that we couldn't even hear each other talking. Sorry but I wouldn't recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Alannah Bravo, attended Jan 2026: teacher was lovely
  • 1/5 from Mannar Fung, attended Dec 2025: Not very organised, felt very low budgeted in a stinky pub. Teacher left half way due to boyfriend having an accident, which is fine but felt like we could have just bought your own clay and played with clay it yourself. Arrived teacher did not introduce herself, I thought she was a friend of a friend doing the clay class. There was a red rooster table mat with reused blue wash cloth that looked old and haggard and a chunk of clay on the table. Definitely not worth the money.
  • 5/5 from Kylie Hall, attended Oct 2025: Fun night, lovely venue, friendly host, great value, we all enjoyed it and were happy with our little creations.
  • 5/5 from Linda Hopkinson, attended Oct 2025: The host was lovely. So friendly and accommodating. Great venue, we ordered drinks from restaurant below.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Kent, attended Oct 2025: Lots of fun making our own clay items. Everything was supplied and the venue was good. The instructor was helpful showing us techniques and we could create what ever we wanted. We had lots of laughs and also relaxed the mind.
  • 5/5 from Kylie Brown, attended Aug 2025: We had alot fun laughing and teacher very helpful
  • 5/5 from Zachary P Quinn, attended Jun 2025: Perfect when you want to try something different. Teachers were great, encouraging giving ideas and techniques. Overall a great night for all ages- definitely invest in an apron and bring it along!
  • 2/5 from Justine Jones, attended Jan 2025: I usually really enjoy ClassBento classes (sip and paint, pasta making etc). This one seemed poor value for money as there was no guidance or instruction, we were just given a lump of clay and told to do whatever we liked. For two hours! There was a hand out of some ideas and techniques but really we would have been better just doing this at home with our own craft shop clay. Disappounting
  • 5/5 from Erika Naghipour, attended Dec 2024: our teacher was very helpful and supportive. she gave me great tips
  • 4/5 from Jill Shehab, attended Dec 2024: We had a lovely night at Clay & Sip. The venue was great and the food good. Staff and instructor were most welcoming and the group was a perfect size. Resources were well set out and generous. It was a very positive event at a bust time of year- perfect to relax and get in touch with our creative side. Really showed we all have talent!!!!
  • 4/5 from Natasha Morton, attended Dec 2024: Great teacher, friendly and helpful if needed. Fun atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from Hayley Turner, attended Apr 2024: Good value, fun night out. The teacher was delightful Relaxed atmosphere. Definitely go again in the future
  • 5/5 from Rosalyn McCormick, attended Apr 2024: Venue was perfect. All the materials were provided and prepared for us before we arrived. Very relaxed atmosphere and calm teacher.
  • 4/5 from Nicole Gillett, attended Apr 2024: Was a fun night enjoyed by all Would recommend for something different to do for a night out
  • 3/5 from Justine Turner, attended Apr 2024: The clay type and amount was limiting to what we could make, set up on tables felt like we were at a kids class, utensils on table to use were not clean from last use, very little teachings involved though Angel was friendly.
  • 5/5 from Anastasia Gavilan, attended Feb 2024: I took my boyfriend and myself to the Thai Mudgee Clay class for a date. It was great and very therapeutic to sit quietly and work with clay. We have some experience in different mediums of art, including clay, so it wasn't difficult to get into it. However, since there wasn't too much structure to the class (not a criticism), newbies may struggle. I thought it was great value for money, however, the people on our table and I all agreed that being provided with some water for our clay would be useful from the start. Other than that, all materials needed were appropriately provided to us. Our teacher was lovely!
  • 3/5 from Emma Fergus, attended Feb 2024: She was very nice but the lack of any starting instruction was a bit of a pity. It also would have been helpful to have been given water for when the clay dried out.
  • 5/5 from Sapana Sukhadiya, attended Jan 2024: It was really good and refreshing. We really liked the class and enjoyed it alot! Teacher was very helpful and kind.
  • 4/5 from Erica Rix, attended Jan 2024: Class was fun and teacher was helpful with making our designs. We were also able to order food and drinks at the venue during our session
  • 5/5 from Tara Lee, attended Dec 2023: The class was great. Our teacher was friendly, informative, and very capable when answering any questions we had.

  • 5/5 from Robyn Hanckel, attended Jun 2023: A nice afternoon spent doing something different! Location was great, teacher was lovely and attentive, very helpful, good value for money
  • 5/5 from Leanne, attended Jun 2023: The teachers were lovely. The venue was great and the food was amazing. The class was full of people having gun. All materials were supplied and there was a great selection of suggestions for clay sculptures we could make or choose our own. It was a great night and I came away with a little clay dragon. It was great value for money and we were very happy and would recommend to anyone thinking of doing something a little different.

  • 4/5 from Tina Parker, attended Oct 2022: We really enjoyed our clay and sip. It was overall great fun and good value. The venue was convenient and great being able to just duck upstairs to buy drinks. We want to buy a voucher for friends, we had a lot of laughs
  • 5/5 from Alex Middleton, attended Sep 2022: Teacher was very engaging. Venue was nice and quiet in a convenient location. Good couple of hours with something to take home.
  • 5/5 from Ann Bryant, attended Sep 2022: Great venue, our teacher was patient gave clear instructions and was very friendly. Value for money, thoroughly enjoyed the class.

Providing social art classes in beautiful South Brisbane

4.7 (2,502)

I'm a Brisbane-based artist, and I've been painting and drawing since my early childhood days. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Queensland Art Gallery, which gave me ample opportunity to pursue my passion and hone my skills.
I'm very much inspired by the beauty and diversity of Australia. Many of my paintings focus on landscapes, surrealism, animals, and people. North Queensland is a particular favorite, and you'll see the influence of coral seas and mountain landscapes throughout my artwork. I have a post-impressionist style through which I try to capture the wonder of the world around us.
I specialize in pastel on card and acrylic on canvas, though I'm also experimenting with abstract and airbrush.
I've been fortunate enough to display my work in many art exhibitions and have been the recipient of many prizes and awards.
I offer Paint and Sip sessions along with Clay and Sip sessions, both at discounted rates for ClassBento Patrons. I believe in bringing these experiences to the customer at the very best competitive price possible, the real Australian Way. We have the largest range of paintings available with over 80 paintings on the gallery page of Wesley Taylor Art Studios, with the painting for each week found on the web page.
We hope you enjoy these sessions for a fun experience. The paintings are creative for maximum impact of colors, while keeping in mind first-time painting experiences. Those with a little more practice will create some amazing pieces.
Let us plan your special events!
“Everyone has an artistic flair and simply needs to be pointed in the right direction."
The Wesley Taylor Art Studios Mission initially set out to create workshops at half the cost of other workshops for customers to be able to enjoy the experience of creating a piece of artwork. This endeavor was to create the foundation of employing artists with a like-minded sense of assisting customers to enjoy this time out while creating new art experiences. The goals of value for money for customers and employment for artists to run these fun activities that may mark a milestone, a birthday, a hen's party, a social activity, a first date, or company team-building events to build and strengthen relationships with a common bond of creating something new. Each dandelion in the field represents a thousand possibilities waiting to be released into the wind. Just relax and be free with the wind.
