2 hours

Class size 1 to 14 (public classes), 6 to 25
  $75 (Afterpay available)

Make your own clay creations from start to finish in our clay class in Sydney!
In this two-hour hand-building workshop, we focus on form and skills to make your very own clay vessel.
You will be guided by Emily (owner of Posy Ceramics) in the two skills of pinch pot and slab building, which you will then use to sculpt your final pieces, be it a mug, bowl, vase, dog bowl, dishes…it’s completely up to you!
All of our workshops are beginner-friendly and do not require any prior knowledge of ceramics but if you have prior experience, it’s also catered to all levels too!
The class is fun and social, and everyone will end up with a finished functional ceramic creation. Lots of people come alone, so don’t be scared if you don’t have a friend to bring along with you! We all sit together, listen to tunes, and share stories and laughs!
What can you make?
  • You will have 600 grams of stoneware white clay to work with in this clay class. From past classes, that is enough to make, for example, one mug + a plate, a medium vase, or a bunch of small trinket dishes! These pieces will then be bisque fired, and you have the choice to return for a painting class where you can decorate your piece with underglazes!
  • All the ceramics you make are dishwasher safe, food safe, and watertight as long as they have no holes or cracks in them.
