  • 5/5 from Sara Ma, attended Oct 2026: had a really lovely experience. The teacher was friendly and helpful, and the class was easy to follow and very enjoyable. Everything was well organised and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I’d happily come back again!
  • 5/5 from Jacinta L Lung, attended Oct 2026: It was a really fun experience to learn the basics of the pottery wheel and we will be definately returning again.
  • 5/5 from Heidi Barnett, attended Sep 2026: Teacher was very knowledgeable, approachable and good with kids.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Edgcumbe, attended Jul 2026: Great fun with helpful teacher would recommend this experience to anyone Will return again to learn more
  • 5/5 from Sneha Dammanapeta, attended Jul 2026: An awesome day to start the school holidays. Bel was really helpful and assisted us throughout the class. She is very kind and helpful. Me and my 8 year old daughter had so much fun learning the techniques of pottery making. We will most definetly will return for other classes. A huge shout out to Diana Ceramics and Bel for making these fun loving classes.
  • 5/5 from Nicholas Hajicosta, attended Jun 2026: My daughter and I had such a great time. Diana is an amazing teacher, and so accommodating. My daughter is on the younger end of being able to use and operate the wheel, but she had the best time, and won't stop talking about it. I'm so glad we did it. Thank you Diana!
  • 5/5 from Carolyn Martin, attended Apr 2026: A really fun class. Betty was great showing us the basics of wheel throwing and it definitely gave my son and a taste that has us wanting to do more.
  • 5/5 from Dorothy Aguinaldo, attended Apr 2026: I attended the pottery class with my 17yrs old godson on a Thursday night, and excited to say that we're both so keen to learn more even after the class finished! We had Tim as our pottery teacher and he was very friendly, patient and attentive to all of us beginner students. On my end, I couldn't grasp the technique until my 4th attempt and Tim was such a great help that I ended up shaping 3x proper pottery pieces (: My godson on the other hand is a fast learner and was locked in from the very start - he's now interested in doing more pottery classes, so safe to assume he really enjoyed it! Thanks Tim and the team for the experience we had ^_^
  • 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Apr 2026: My daughter and I enjoyed the Wheel Throwing class for kids and parents. The studio was bright and inviting and the small class size was conducive for all of us as beginners. Tim was a friendly instructor and was happy to demonstrate and help us whenever we asked for help. We were disappointed, however, when we were asked half an hour before the end time, to finish up the piece we were working on and to start cleaning up. When we asked how long it would take to clean up, we were told it would take about 25min. This was disappointing as it was meant to be a 2hr class and we were all hoping to make one more piece and expected to have until much closer to the end time to finish our work. It only took about 5-10min to clean up and consequently most people ended up leaving well before the end time. Overall, it was an enjoyable class, but it would've been much better if we could have had the full class time to learn and practice our new skills.
  • 5/5 from Brenda Horsley, attended Feb 2026: Teacher was AMAZING and so lovely! My daughter and I had a ball and enjoyed the whole experience. Definely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Maria Farrow, attended Feb 2026: My mum and daughter had a fab time doing this, they also booked the painting session post too. Diana was extremely accommodating with a date change and my mum said her team were lovely
  • 5/5 from Emma Tully, attended Jan 2026: Diana is an amazing teacher. Her instructions were very clear and the way she engaged the kids was brilliant. We highly recommend Diana’s ceramic studio and we look forward to returning to painting our creations.
  • 5/5 from Tara Rogers, attended Jan 2026: Angus was a great teacher, it was relaxed and fun. My 11yo daughter had a wonderful time too.
  • 5/5 from Shenae Loh, attended Jan 2026: We had a wonderful experience at Diana Ceramic’s wheel throwing class for kids. Amy is incredibly patient, encouraging, and great at explaining techniques in a way that children can easily understand. The class was well-structured but still relaxed and fun, allowing the kids to explore their creativity while learning real pottery skills. The studio has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and it was lovely to see how proud the kids were of what they created on the wheel. Highly recommend this class for children who enjoy hands-on activities and want to try something creative and different. We’ll definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Michelle Sun, attended Nov 2025: We enjoyed it very much, the teacher was very patient and explained the method very well. We will definitely come back to do more classes
  • 5/5 from Astrid Michael, attended Oct 2025: A fantastic school holiday activity! Our teacher Angus was so helpful and patient, especially with the kids. We all really enjoyed the class and were thrilled with our pieces! Thanks so much
  • 5/5 from Kerry Towndrow, attended Sep 2025: There’s a special kind of joy that comes with school holidays. We thoroughly enjoyed yesterday— spinning clay on a wheel, covered in mud, laughing at our creations. Diana was an amazing guide and my 7yr old and 13 yr old loved it! Excited to come paint them.
  • 5/5 from Ben Kuai, attended Sep 2025: We, a family of three, enjoyed the session very much. Our 7 year old would love come back for the painting too.
  • 5/5 from Simone Garrad, attended Sep 2025: My daughters and I had a fantastic time at our class today. Angus was great in guiding us through the process. Loved it and would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Amy Collingridge, attended Sep 2025: It was really fun to see the professional teacher do it she was also really helpful with things if anything went wrong. We could make things like bowls and cups. And overall it was actually kind of satisfying and relaxing once you got the hang of it! Pippa aged 11
  • 5/5 from Rosemary, attended Sep 2025: Wonderful family experience! Highly recommend it. Angus our instructor was great and so patient ️
  • 2/5 from Melanie Duncan, attended Sep 2025: Wasn’t happy with Amy the teacher. We were 2 mins late and she didn’t communicate that any extra pieces after two we had to pay $10 each for. This info could have easily been shared as they hadnt even started yet. This changed the whole experience as we focused more on quantity not quality. She also spent the majority of the class doing other things on the other side of room and we had to try and get her attention for help. There were many tips and little techniques she could have shared with us from the start which we could have applied. She literally just taught us the bare basics and left us to our own for 2 hrs. We then were made to stop 25 mins early to clean up which I feel is her role as I didn’t pay to clean. Very disappointed as it could have been such a better exp. Would not recommend unless you have a better teacher.
  • 5/5 from Suzy Bragulla, attended Jul 2025: Our teacher was wonderful - very helpful and patient! There was plenty of clay to play with, the equipment worked perfectly and the space was warm and bright. Thanks! ️
  • 5/5 from Zhang Qian, attended Jul 2025: The kids were super into it and had a great time, looking forward to the finished product in four weeks!
  • 5/5 from Kathy Ibbott, attended Jul 2025: We had a great time! Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Christine Walton, attended Jul 2025: Great experience to have with my granddaughter. We are both totally hooked now. We completed a few items and learnt by our mistakes- all was fun.
  • 5/5 from Emma Maslen, attended Jul 2025: Lovely and patient teacher. Loads of time to practice and keep trying.
  • 5/5 from Emma Hayton, attended Jul 2025: My son and I had a great time at this class with Gabby. The instruction was great and we managed to create a few pieces each that we were happy with. Looking forward to coming back and painting them soon!
  • 5/5 from Janine Murphy, attended Jul 2025: My son and I Loved this class so much we are booking another time to go Thanks so much
  • 4/5 from Aurelia de Rijk, attended Jul 2025: I appreciated the space. It was a relaxing and calm atmosphere. The teacher was knowledgeable and patient with the children. Am tempted to return!
  • 5/5 from Fiona Lambden, attended Jun 2025: My daughter and I had such a great time today, thank you Angus for being such a patient and helpful teacher. We both can’t wait to come back again!
  • 5/5 from Amber Thomas, attended May 2025: My son and I had a great morning out! He loves clay so I got him a wheel throwing class and he loved it, we both did, Angus was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful, it's well worth it, we got to keep 2 pieces and only paid $10 extra each to keep our 3rd pieces. My son is already asking when we can go back, thank you so much for a great class Angus, we may have a new young potter on our hands.
  • 5/5 from Anna Kapnoullas, attended May 2025: Jen was so kind and helpful. She was hardworking and helped my daughter and I really enjoy the class and experience success, which was so great as her birthday celebration. Jen loves her job and it shows. Will come back again. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Navneet Kaur, attended May 2025: I had a great time in this pottery class—it was fun and well-paced. The instructor gave clear, timely guidance at each stage, which made learning easy and enjoyable. I booked the class as a Mother’s Day activity with my 6-year-old, and she was able to follow along and create something of her own. A wonderful experience for both of us!
  • 5/5 from Tamara Treloar, attended May 2025: Teacher was absolutely amazing she took time for each of us and was so encouraging and patient even when we had trouble getting it. Highly recommend as a fun family day out. Only wish we had more time!
  • 5/5 from Ronith Naik, attended Apr 2025: Angus explained each step of the process clearly, making it really easy to follow, even for a complete beginner. He was very helpful and patient, always available to answer questions and guide us. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Mon Venus, attended Apr 2025: To say that Jen was knowledge, enthusiastic and supportive is an understatement. We had a great time and look forward to more pottery adventures together in the future.
  • 5/5 from Serafina Mariani, attended Apr 2025: Teacher was very patient and calm going through instructions beforehand and during the class.
  • 5/5 from Joanne Montesano, attended Apr 2025: Highly recommended. Angus was a great teacher who gave really clear instructions and then left us with time and space to experiment and work things out ourselves, but was on hand to help or step in if things didn’t work out as expected. Ended the day with some great pieces - can’t wait to see how they turn out once finished! Class was suitably geared to adults and younger participants, all of whom experienced success first time at the wheel. Really fun and fulfilling class.
  • 5/5 from Katy Yip, attended Apr 2025: Good place for kids and adults to have great time during school holiday break, relax and learn something new.
  • 5/5 from Kate Reid, attended Feb 2025: Was a great experience and Angus was a fantastic teacher! Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Shari Gillespie, attended Jan 2025: Jen was a fabulous teacher and helped us create pieces we were proud of. My six year old daughter and I absolutely loved this class!
  • 5/5 from Eva Fang, attended Jan 2025: We had a fantastic time there and the teacher was very helpful.
  • 3/5 from Elizabeth Fraser, attended Oct 2024: The teacher we had was surprised that there were children at the wheel throwing for children & parents class, said the techniques are too complicated for children and aimed their instructors at the adults. The class was delayed 30mins as the teacher was late, they said they would give us more time at the end to balance it out but had us stop to clean up so we were all out of the premises before our 2 hours had passed.
  • 5/5 from Rowena, attended Sep 2024: Angus was awesome and engaging. He went around to help and was patient with the kids. They had an amazing time and we’ll definitely be back! Also, we really liked the workspace - clean and cosy.
  • 4/5 from Caroline Kerin, attended Sep 2024: My daughter and enjoyed the class and had a great time trying out wheel throwing, however was quite disappointed that we booked a 2hr class and the class finished clean up and all after only 1.5hrs.
  • 5/5 from Ebony Milbourne, attended Jul 2024: My son and I loved this experience, it was nice to take a break during school holidays and spend some quality time together. Our teacher Angus was awesome, patient and encouraging. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jody Smith, attended Jul 2024: In the words of my daughter, “Best day ever!”. This describes our mother daughter adventure perfectly. Jessica, our teacher explained how to use the pottery wheel. We spent over an hour and 20 minutes practising and our new found skill. It was great value for money and a fun evening to have. I would recommend it to other mothers and daughters who like a crafty evening.
  • 5/5 from Anna Sirianni, attended Jul 2024: Birthday present for daughter. We really enjoyed the class and our teacher was lovely. Nice to have a few pieces to take home.
  • 5/5 from Maryanne Loving, attended Jul 2024: I have looked all over for a class that is for both kids and parents and this was perfect! The teacher was patient and lovely with the kids (and adults!) and we all made some great pottery and had fun in the process. Great mother daughter activity for the school holidays!
