Find Your Seat
Available spaces inside the tram, or in the back garden area, or larger groups can be accommodated in the Chapel Studio.
Choose Your Art Form
Start with your choice of Pottery (Hand Building) using recycled stoneware, or choose one of many Ceramic Paint a Pots (take this home on the day). Your experience is unlimited, so if you finish one project, move on to another!
Watch a Demonstration
Karen Alsop will be demonstrating her own wild clay crafts, and you have the opportunity to extend your learning, have a go on the wheel, or try something a little different like using wild local clay, or learning how to create custom glazes.
Leave Your Creation for Firing
One creation from your session is included in our firing schedule. You have two options for your piece:
Bisque Fire: Choose this if you plan to return for a separate glazing session (underglaze and final glaze). You may also take this home and paint using acrylics.
Final Fire: We will apply our signature 'Puffing Billy Clear Ash' Glaze to this piece for its final high-temperature firing.
If you wish to have additional creations fired and glazed, the fee is $25 per piece.

Your host
Hi, I’m Karen Alsop! I am a world renowned photographic artist. But in recent years clay has become my creative adventure. There’s nothing I love more than taking wild local clay, Puffing Billy ash, and reclaimed materials and turning them into unique, story-filled pieces. Every texture, every imperfection, tells a story, and I love helping others discover that magic for themselves.I’ve taught hundreds of students across various art forms, run team workshops, and guided first-time enthusiasts to confident creators. In my classes, it’s all about exploring your creativity, having fun, and leaving with something you’re proud of.When I’m not teaching, I run the Story Art Gallery inside Melbourne’s historic Tram 772, where my ceramics, photography, and mixed media creations come together, and I lead The Heart Project, helping volunteers create portraits for children in hospitals. Art isn’t just what I do—it’s how I connect, create, and celebrate life.Join me in a class and experience the joy of shaping clay, telling your story, and making something truly yours.
