Clay and Sip Class

Make some handmade ceramic pieces while sipping on sparkling wine in an intimate setting



2.5 hours Location Hampton Class size 1 to 6 guests   $169 (Afterpay available)

Don't want to commit to a whole course and want to give pottery a try? Or do you want to get a group of friends or colleagues together for a fun session of pottery, drinks, and nibbles? Or how about a romantic date night?
Then, bring up to six friends or colleagues along to this fun clay and sip class with One Off Pottery Studio!
Your friendly teacher will demonstrate making a mug, vase or plate while you watch and sip a glass of wine/beer/champagne or soft drink and have something to nibble for the first half-hour.
Then it's time for you to have a go, make your pots, laugh, and chat for the remaining time.
Once you have made a pot or two, your teacher will glaze it and twice-fire the pots for you to collect after two to three weeks. (Yes, it's quite a bit of extra work for us afterward, but we love it!)
Whether you're looking for date ideas, classy hen's party activities, or team-building work activities, this clay and sip class is the perfect mindful activity!

  • 5/5 from Andrew Honson, attended Jan 2026: Jacqui was amazing with her demonstrations and patience and a really lovely person. We made a vase, a platter as well as two coffee mugs and it was such a memorable experience with pottery to take away after firing and glazing. Would do it again we loved it. Ps cheese board and drinks was a lovely touch. Andrew & Helen
  • 5/5 from Niki Zhao, attended Jul 2025: I booked pottery with Jaqui for our group of 6. She was a wonderful host and teacher. Food and drinks were provided and we were not lacking for anything. She was very knowledgeable in her art form and took lots of time to teach us what we needed to know. Will be back. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Emma James, attended Apr 2025: Fantastic class. Jacqui is a great teacher, as both myself and my granddaughter are beginners and we came away with some lovely pots. It’s a wonderful class to do and also Jacqui looked after us with snacks and drinks and a lovely disposition. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Nicole Delaney, attended Jul 2024: What an aqesome experience! We came for my partners Birthday Jacqui was absolutely fantastic she was so sweet, patient, understanding, informative, and very accommodating. The venue was perfect for that class. She had everything you could possibly need. Talk about value money. Not only is this a 2.5 hour experience but you get food, drink, a cup, and plate to keep. Not to mention the time and energy it will take for her to cook and glaze the your peices. I like everything about this experience. I am already thinking about the next visit! I'd love to try the wheel next. I am beyond greatful for this experience. Thank you so much Jacqui
  • 5/5 from Jordyn-Lee Vandersluys, attended Sep 2023: This class was absolutely amazing! Our teacher welcomed us onto her home with a gorgeous spread of food and a lovely white wine to start with. I am a complete beginner with pottery, but this lesson I feel much more confident and capable. She encouraged our creativity and within 2 hours my friend and I created 3 pieces of work. Will absolutely attend again!

My name is Jacqui, and I discovered pottery about eight years ago when I signed up for a pottery course at the local community centre. I was hooked from the get-go. In fact, I became so passionate about it, that I have since completed numerous courses in hand-building, wheel-throwing, glazing and firing in Australia, Denmark and Italy.
I started OoPs (One-off Pottery Studio) in 2019 and have since sold hundreds of pieces at several markets like the Rose Street Market, Mansfield Pottery Festival, the Brighton Soul Night Market, Le Studio Ceramics market, and Mooroduc Station Market.
I have also exhibited numerous pieces at the Dinner Plain Art Fair, Beaumaris Art Group, the Gulgong Clay Festival, the Sol Gallery in Fitzroy and the Memo Gallery in Healesville. I currently have numerous pieces exhibiting at Eagles Nest Galley in Aireys Inlet and my "Oceans, Interrupted" Exhbition at The Window, Bayside in Sandringham.
In 2022, I ran the ceramic studio at Le Studio Art Space in Mordialloc. There I discovered my love of teaching wheel-throwing and hand-building in collaboration with other wonderful ceramic teachers. I set up my own studio in Hampton in 2024, where I teach today. I also teach at the Beaumaris Art Group and the Brighton Recreation Centre.
What do I love about pottery? Mostly how I become completely absorbed in watching a piece of mud transform into a vessel and can shut out the world for a few hours. I love the unpredictable nature of pottery - each time I open the kiln, it's like a new exciting episode of a sitcom. The alchemy of earth, water, fire and chemicals leads to a myriad possibilities. Not-to-mention that pottery is mesmerising to watch and do. And fun. And very messy.
