Pottery Class: Clay Play for Kids

Here it is, a crafty afternoon activity for your primary school aged child!



6 to 12 years     1.5 hours Class size 1 to 20 guests    

  $62 (Afterpay available)

Kids Clay Play is a fun hands-on class where you will learn the basics of creating with clay and have fun getting your hands dirty.
Children will have the opportunity to learn about and play with clay and be introduced and guided in a variety of techniques to create several items, either functional or decorative or both! Everyone will be guided in the techniques required to create their masterpieces in a relaxed and inclusive environment.
At the end of your class, their kids' creations will be glazed and fired for them, ready to collect a few weeks after the class.
This class is perfect if you're searching for new things for your child to do after school. It is also a one-off workshop, for your child to give it a try and see if they like it. If they love it they can join our term-long course with Deep Blue Ceramics!

  • 5/5 from Stephane Greffrath, attended Jan 2026: I have no idea how the ceramic turtle came out my kid made but the good mood she was in when she came home is definitely worth. She's never voluntarily told me about an activity but she answered all my questions regarding the pottery class with enthusiasm! Looking forward to receiving the ceramic when it comes out of the kiln. Thank you Imi!
