Looking for unique Melbourne activities to try this weekend? Why not learn how to make your own personalized vessels while enjoying a glass of Victorian Merlot and cheese at Diana Ceramic's fun hand building workshop!
This relaxed clay workshop is all about having fun and having the opportunity to create a ceramic piece from scratch.
To begin, you'll sip on a glass of delicious Merlot as you learn about the clay. Then a friendly expert will guide you through the basic steps of how to use a pinching technique to create a cup, mug, or planter.
This is a fun, casual intro to clay, a chance to have a laugh and get your hands a little dirty! If you're looking for hens party ideas or gift experiences for a keen creative, this fun ceramic hand building workshop in Melbourne would be a great pick for you!
Please note:
Due to the time, it takes to fire and glaze each piece, your pieces will be ready for collection about ten working days later - just in time to pot your plants into their new handmade homes!
