Looking for fun things to do in Sydney? Transform a block of clay into a teapot that you can show off to your friends at your next tea party!
In this practical Sydney class, you will learn hands-on techniques such as pinching and coiling to create your own unique teapot. Take some time for yourself, in the tranquil and scenic surrounds of Bundeena, as a form of art therapy.
You'll get to keep your fully functional teapot - something to treasure for years or even generations to come! You'll also get to apply your personal touch, such as choosing a glaze colour. And don't worry, your teapot will be 100 per cent food safe and suitable for tea brewing.
Here are just a few things we'll cover:
- An overview of different clay types and their uses.
- Hand-building techniques for shaping clay.
- Assembling different clay components.
- How and why are ceramics glazed and fired.
At the end of the class, you'll choose colours for your teapot, which will stay on-site to dry, be glazed and fired twice. You'll be informed when the pieces are ready for pick-up (alternatively shipping can be arranged for an additional fee).
Make a day of it while you're here - visit one of Bundeena's pristine beaches or do a bushwalk.
This class is regularly scheduled on weekends at 10 am via the 'Book' option. If you would like to book on a weekday, please use the 'Request Private Class’ option on this page (under Booking Options).
We are also next door to the Bundeena Community Services Club which offers a full lunch menu with water views should you decide to lunch in Bundeena before or after the class.
No previous knowledge or pottery experience is required for this workshop.
 
- All instruction, tools and materials, as well as glazing and firing of pieces made.
- Your handmade fully-functional teapot to keep (pick-up once fired and glazed or shipping for an extra cost).
Aprons are supplied but please wear comfortable and casual clothing that you won’t mind possibly getting clay on.
