Wheel Throwing Pottery Class

Make your own ceramics on a pottery wheel with BYO wine in hand



2 hours Location Crows Nest Class size 1 to 7 guests   $99 (Afterpay available)

Get messy with clay, bring your favourite bottle of vino and enjoy a clay and sip experience as you learn a new skill. For this class, the team at Klaypots Studio will teach you how to make your own ceramics on a pottery wheel.
Please note; Children are allowed if over 8 years old with a paying adult. Adults and children are not allowed to share the wheel, you must purchase one ticket per person no matter what age.
This is a small class and is hosted in Karina's studio. A smaller class size means that you will get extra hands on attention and learn the basics of wheel throwing in one session.
You can make as many pieces as you like, your favourite piece will be bisque fired, glazed by the Klaypots team and fired again and be available for collection four to six weeks after the class. We can finish more pieces for you at an additional cost per piece. All the ceramics you make are dishwasher safe, food safe and water tight as long as they have no holes or cracks in them.
We include aprons, wine glasses/drinking glasses and a wine fridge for you to use at the studio.
The studio is equipped with pottery wheels that are suitable for people who are left or right handed, air conditioning for those hot/cold days, music and a relaxing atmosphere.
Ready to play with clay and sip your favourite BYO drinks? Come get messy with us!
If you are ready to challenge yourself and learn the process from making through to glazing, check out our six week course.

This venue is a short walk from Crows Nest metro station (less than 100 metres). Parking available on Pacific Hwy, nearby side streets or council parking lots.

  • 5/5 from Amanda Correa, attended Jun 2026: The instructor was very patient, thorough throughout the entire process, and made the class very enjoyable. She was extremely organized, and every time I had a question pop into my head, she answered it before I even had to ask. The studio also smelled amazing, which made the overall experience even more pleasant. Tips: Be patient with your piece and enjoy the process—it’s all part of the experience! Wear something comfortable that you don’t mind getting dirty (I was covered in clay by the end, but that’s part of the fun). It also helps to think of a few cup or bowl designs you’d like to create beforehand so you have some inspiration when you start.
