Clay and Sip Wheel Throwing Class: Dirty Day Drinking

Play with clay, and sip your favourite drink, as you learn the fun and messy art of wheel throwing!



2 hours Class size 1 to 6 guests    

  $140 (Afterpay available)

Here’s something a little different to try -- wheel throwing with wine. What a great way to spend the afternoon with friends or family!
Join us for two hours of learning how to throw pots on a potter's wheel. You will have a blast as you enjoy day drinking from our “eclectic cup collection”. There is something nice about drinking from ceramics.
Your friendly teacher will show you our eight-step process for throwing pretty pots. The studio will trim your pot’s bottoms (ask us what that means), then fire them twice and hand-glaze them for you.
In two to three weeks you will have lovely little pots to collect, and admire!
Clay is not only a great way to learn a new skill, but it's also a perfect activity for spending quality time with friends! Book into this class and be sure to bring a couple of people to share this experience with.
All clay and tools are provided, as well as music and instruction.

  • 5/5 from Angie Schoonraad, attended Jun 2025: Great experience. Lovely instructor. Very patient with all of us. I would highly recommend for a fun and interesting afternoon experience
  • 5/5 from Desiree Koppen, attended May 2025: This class was a lot of fun. I was really awful and the teacher was super understanding and helpful. She was knowledgeable and great at explaining in a way that made sense and helped me improve. Definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Nick Hart, attended Mar 2025: 10/10 experience! We had so much fun and will definitely be back. Sophie was incredibly patient and helpful, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. We would definitely recommend Clay & Sip to friends and family!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Stallybrass, attended Jan 2025: Class was great, thoroughly enjoyed it. Group was great, great company, good laughs - teacher was amazing, guiding each of us throughout all steps. Steps were easy to follow - while challenging for myself (long nails), we worked out using sponges at my fingertips for all steps was actually achieveable and my end products turned out well (specially when i thought they would look like wolverine attacked them)
  • 5/5 from Suzie Bayley, attended Oct 2024: We attended for our wedding anniversary (9th is traditionally pottery). We had an absolute blast and came out with Multiple pieces (this was our first attempt at any form of pottery class). Would recommend to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Amanda Lingham, attended Aug 2024: My friend and I brought each other a voucher for our birthdays. We had the best time. The class was great! Our teacher did such a great job running us through the steps, very thorough and explained so well. It was also a nice bonus being able to have a cheeky beverage whilst creating some cute pieces. I would absolutely recommend going to a class with some friends.
  • 5/5 from Jennie Davis, attended May 2024: We took this class as part of a birthday/girls weekend celebration. Danni and Mel were so patient with us and really kept the mood bright and fun (the champagne probably helped to0!) We all thought the class went so fast and enjoyed every minute - even when we failed at our attempts to master the wheel. I would recommend this to anyone interested in trying something a little different and wanting to get creative as a beginner.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Nelson, attended Mar 2024: Such a lovely way to spend time with a loved one. The teacher was patient and was able to answer questions patiently & clearly. Thank you firebird studio :)
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline, attended Jul 2023: A Christmas present to my mom and we all loved our time. Lots of laughs and a great experience. Hopefully our finished products come out of the kiln well! Would definitely do it again
  • 5/5 from Fion Huang, attended Jun 2023: A great spaces for an intimate class experience. We had a private session with Dani with team of 5 pax, which turns out to be one of the best team building activities we tried. Under Dani's professional and detailed guidance, we successfully created a few unique pieces of each own (none of us had any experience before). It was super fun and enjoyable! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Kasey Walsh, attended Jun 2023: The overall experience was everything we hoped it would be. Could not fault a thing!
  • 5/5 from Eliana Kinninmont, attended May 2023: It was so lovely! We had heaps of fun and already want to go back and do it again!
  • 5/5 from Madeleine Peters, attended May 2023: Our teacher was fantastic and very helpful. We each made three items each which I was really happy with, felt like great value for money. The instruction was really clear and helpful, I felt like we all improved a lot by the end. I can't wait to go pick up my finished pieces in a few weeks!
  • 5/5 from Lachlan Creighton, attended Apr 2023: Dani was a great teacher, was a great activity for a date night Highly Recommend
  • 5/5 from Alice Afamasaga, attended Mar 2023: First time doing pottery and it was amazing. Dani and Mel were super helpful throughout the whole thing. They were so patient with us and we enjoyed every bit of it. Aprons and towel are definitely a must bring just cause it can get dirty. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!
  • 5/5 from Olivia Watson, attended Mar 2023: Love Firebird studios and the lovely owners/teachers - they really go the extra mile to ensure you have a good time and also take away some beautiful pieces! Would recommend to anyone :)
  • 5/5 from Bec Byrnes, attended Dec 2022: What a great experience for our motley crew! The instructor was extremely warm, accommodating and professional as we mucked around and laughed at our amateur efforts. Time flew and the only critique was that we felt we needed maybe another hour to properly experiment with our new foundations. Overall, highly recommended experience for a gaggling group of friends! Thank you.
