Recent reviews of Ceramics Hand Building Workshop

  • 5/5 from Lea Fritsch, attended Jun 2024: Exactly what I needed. Susi was well prepared and had also made a beautiful and beautifully tasting cake to share with us. All of the participants laughed and had stories to tell too. Great way to connect. Susi had the clay and clay making implements at the ready for us to five right in and make two hand built clay containers of your choosing. Come with an idea of what you’d like to create or let the clay do the talking. You’ll enjoy this class

  • 5/5 from Christy Blanchard, attended Jan 2024: I really enjoyed the ceramics class with Susi. She was great at explaining how to do things while allowing us to be creative and explore the clay in our own ways. She was always there to help when I got stuck and needed guidance. The venue was nice and there was enough space for everyone. It was hot, but it’s hot everywhere in Summer! The cost was very reasonable, especially considering I got to make two pieces. I can’t wait to see how they look when they’re glazed and fired. Thank you so much, Susi! I will definitely do another class sometime.

Susi Koessler, Creator and Owner
A little glimpse of West Wave Ceramics and me, Susi Koessler, maker and owner of this local small business.
I am driven to produce handmade pieces for the contemporary home, enriching life’s beauty, joy, nourishment and celebration.  
My work is made and inspired locally by the Indian Ocean and the lifestyle I am fortunate to experience here on whadjuk noongar boodjar.
Each piece is a one-off, unique design and often has several hours of work behind it. My aim is to enhance the home, live life slow and enliven the spirit with my ceramics.
I am excited to meet you at one of my workshops
