Veronica absolutely loves attending. She looks forward to her class each week. Charlie fosters her creativity.

Andreea Iuga Mar 2024


Went for my birthday with two friends and had a great time! The teacher was super friendly and approachable. She had a profound understanding about the clay and how to work it. She did an excellent job assisting us in any way needed. Would love to have her as a teacher again.

Jigyasa Sharma Mar 2024


Teacher was excellent - very patient, gave demo multiple times. We had loads of clay to break, try, make, retry. Enjoyed it

Colleen Fall Mar 2024


Fun experience, it was a Christmas present for a friend, it was good value, it was very well organised and the teacher was very helpful

Christine Balili Mar 2024


I really liked this class! Abbie was a great teacher. The candles you make can be customised and makes for a great gift to yourself and others!

Karen Roberts Mar 2024


Amazing experience and a good insight into pottery!

Instructor was very helpful and patience and willingness to show you how to do it correctly as well.

Everything was provided that was needed for the class

May Mar 2024


It was a very casual session with just me and my friends, and we had an amazing time just chatting and painting. It was super relaxing, and we had a variety of options to choose from and we didn't feel like we were rushed or anything. I love the variety of vases/cups they provided and how there were ones from different price ranges, which gives people even more options and allows people to paint more at a lower price range.

Yanzhen Gu Mar 2024


The class was more like a very calming painting session that you get to enjoy chatting with friends. There’s quite a number of models to choose from and each is unique.

Pottery class review by Dylan Jordan Grove - Melbourne

Amy Jobling Mar 2024


We attended cones studio as a birthday gift. Our class was scheduled on the very warm long weekend and I was nervous that we would have an uncomfortable day. But the studio was clean and cool, the facilities were great and it turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon.

The teacher at cones was very friendly and helpful, she was very knowledgeable and helped us to trouble shoot along the way to make the best of our masterpieces.

Overall I thought this class was very good value for money, something fun that you can do with a group of friends that is challenging but not too hard for someone completely inexperienced. We all came away with some new talents and a few pottery pieces to treasure.

Thank you for offering a great class, I would definitely recommend it to others and it’s something I would try again some day.

Susan Elizabeth Keane Mar 2024


Thoroughly enjoyable class in a lovely atmosphere. Great value for money given the number of pieces that can be taken home. I will definitely return.

Zhi Chyi Mar 2024


Great experience! Eddy is so helpful and patient in teaching! The studio is spacious and each student has their own throwing wheel. Highly recommend this course for beginners

Pottery class review by Zhi Chyi - Melbourne

Wan Chong Mar 2024


At the Hand Building workshop today, 9/3/2024 (10am-12pm), I worked with clay for the first time.
The teacher was great and very patient with a newbie like me. She taught really well and the pace was just nice. With her guidance, I made a cup and somewhat like a basket or cereal bowl. It was a great experience!
Our class had 5 participants. Everyone was pleasant and we had no problem sharing some 'tools'.
This class was a gift (for 2) which I could share the experience with my niece. We both enjoyed the workshop. Thank you!

This was a brilliant class. The teacher was very informative and flexible. He was willing to follow my lead with respect to what I wanted to learn in the class and was very knowledgeable about a range of techniques. I can see my growth from term to term. Overall a lovely class and I will definitely be returning next term. I encourage others to have go at the class at this wonderful class even if they are a bit nervous. They will surprise themselves with what they can learn and achieve

My daughter bought the session for me as a birthday gift and we absolutely loved it. She wants to go again, we'd love to do the painting session too. I'm thinking of signing her up for the 11 week course
Everything is extremely well set up. From bookings to the session itself.

Phuong Ly Mar 2024


Great session, very hands on and instructor was very attentive to all when we needed help. The clay we used was very easy to use for beginner pottery. Can’t wait to pick up our finished pieces! Would come again!

This was a super fun event, the hand building teacher is really lovely and helpful. It wasn't a super long class, so it is a great taster for someone wanting to try hand building and really well priced.

Cannot wait to see my mug :)

Hand Building Class at Bentleigh Festival: Make a Mug review by Ebony Shields - Melbourne

Nadia Kentera Feb 2024


would have been good for the teacher to have his own wheel to take us all through one demo item together at the same time so talking through and us watching and doing at the same time i reckon a lot of us would have nailed the centreing etc with the coaching done at the same time rather than a 5min briefing at the beginning of the class which goes over your head if it's the first time you've done it!

otherwise all good and lots of fun for a 9 year anniversary gift

Bianca Kanjo Feb 2024


Great vibe at the studio! Very encouraged to come back sooner as the experience was affordable being able to choose your one of a kind piece at different price points. Looking forward to picking up our pieces after firing.

Our teacher handled a group of six for a 10th birthday party wheel throwing course with aplomb. Definitely recommend.

Kelvin Cui Feb 2024


I thought the class was great, there was less hand holding through the process than what I was expecting but it was good - no way to learn than by getting your hands dirty, literally. Instructor was great, pretty much happy to help with anything you wanted to make.

Poriya Masoumi Feb 2024


Had a lot of fun teacher was very helpful we all had a great time

Cherry Tang Feb 2024


Very good and knowledgeable in pottery. Helped students with their wheel throwing and provided good demonstrations

Had a fantastic time, the teacher was patient and extremely helpful. Will definitely do it again.

Kelly Makarounas-Kirchmann Feb 2024


It was a Valentine's evening of fun. Rita our instructor was engaging and encouraging, especially since I am not very artistic. I enjoyed the experience and now don't think I am too bad at painting. Many thanks Rita, I would do another class.

My daughter and her friends had a great time. They did the wheel class for a 12th birthday party and had lots of fun together. Can't wait to see the final pieces. The teacher was just lovely. It was a great experience plus they get a lovely memory to keep.

Jo Robinson Feb 2024


Really good class with ample time. Teacher was very helpful, supportive and explained everything clearly.

Christian de Luca Jan 2024


We all had a great time at the wheel throwing course. Charlie is really personable, helpful and encouraging. We enjoyed the free and creative nature of it, and all got advice on the specific item we wanted to make. Charlie was also very good at helping us not get frustrated when making a mistake, and all of this together made for a great night. Thanks again :)

Just loved the experience, my boys loved it too! thanks for this great family moment!

Kath Spencer Jan 2024


Charlie was a great instructor for the kids. We had 8 kids aged 9-11yo and they all managed to create something on the wheel. Charlie helped them when they got stuck and kept them positive when things got a little wonky. Most of the kids are keen to do it again. It is hard to create good stuff but with a bit of persistence most of the kids made a couple of cool dishes.

Renee Paxton Jan 2024


Absolutely loved the wheel throwing class!
Eddie was supportive, helpful and gave us confidence that we were doing really well. We really needed that encouragement and he was great at easing our minds. We made four pieces and all of the materials and everything was provided.
We made various vessels and I can't wait to see what the fired and finished product looks like.
A lovely small class with a lovely teacher. Thanks heaps Eddie, you're a legend!

Sophia Laidlaw Jan 2024


We had tons of fun! Great venue, lovely people, and good equipement and materials. Definitely will do again

Ceramic Painting Workshop review by Sophia Laidlaw - Melbourne

Lisa Reale Jan 2024


We were a little early & Eddie greeted us on arrival suggested we take a look around while waiting which we were happy to do.

The class started with Eddie demonstrating first. It was fun & a little frustrating too because we forgot what he said in the demo! Felt as though I was just getting the hang of it when the class ended. You can make as many pieces as you like (four included in the cost additional pieces were charged). You were able to choose one colour from three options (white, blue or mint green) glaze.

Eddie was happy to answer questions or be hands on to assist. Really enjoyed the experience.
I’ll remember to take moisturizing hand cream with me next time!

Ruth Kennedy Jan 2024


Eddie was patient and helpful.
Interesting session to start understanding basic techniques and class a good size - thanks.

Maddie Knott Jan 2024


I had organised a hens party activity at Cones Studio. We were looking for an alternative to your usual sip and paint, and this was perfect. All our guests said that they loved that it was something different and that they would use their piece afterwards. Charlie was extremely easy to communicate with before the event and very personable at the event. Thanks Charlie and Cones Studio for a great afternoon.

Rebecca Cusack Jan 2024


My kids loved the experience, Marie was fabulous with them. Can’t wait to see the end result!

Kate Davies Jan 2024


My girls had a wonderful time at the wheel throwing workshop. A new experience in a modern studio. Charlie and Lauren were great with all of the kids. We will be back!

My partner and I had an amazing experience with the pottery class we took on Saturday 13th January.

I'd definitely recommend this workshop to anyone wanting a fun afternoon learning how to make pottery

Charlie is such a great teacher, super personable but also helpful and attentive. I love the space, it feels so open and welcoming and you can tell that there’s a lot of passion :) Really recommend

Nikayla Amiatu Jan 2024


Teacher was great- encouraging, relaxing attitude, friendly.

The class was fun and worth the cost. I would do it again.

Kylie Tzirulnik Jan 2024


My girls had a blast and have made me promise to book them in again.
Thank you for the experience. Can't wait to pick up their pieces in 6 weeks.

Barb Mary Gross Jan 2024


My son purchased the class for my birthday - enjoyed learning another facet of the art world. Good group of people attending.
Teacher Tahni was very informative, friendly and it was easy to understand her instructions.
I'm looking forward to collecting my pieces after being glazed and fired.

Anne Atlas Jan 2024


The workshop was well organized and the kids enjoyed themselves
but as they had no previous experience, the introduction was not detailed enough and I do not think they grasped the process until 3/4 way through the event.
This frustrated them and led to them rushing, and making further mistakes.

Jasmine Perera Jan 2024


A great class! Super helpful for beginners. Definitely recommend for anyone considering a pottery class!

Emma Farrell Jan 2024


Teacher was lovely, chill and knowledgeable, very good at teaching and troubleshooting newbies, very excited to get my clay pieces that I made in class. Great couple experience, with great value to be able to have 4 pieces. Definitely looking to come back!

Pottery class review by Emma Farrell - Melbourne

Greta Chen Jan 2024


Tahni was a fantastic teacher, she created a really relaxed atmosphere for great learning and fun. The materials were in good nick too. My favourite part was learning how to shape the clay (thicker or thinner at different points). Tahni was also super patient and generous with me in helping me centre my clay!

Rhian Madigan Jan 2024


Lots of fun

Julia Walker Jan 2024


We booked a private hand building class for our family of 7 adults and two four year olds. Our teacher was wonderful - she guided us through techniques without it being a structured class which meant there was lots of space for everyone to get creative. She was also very accommodating of the two small children. We all had a lovely time.

Deborah Fisher Jan 2024


Great experience. Lot's of fun and an overall enjoyable morning. Instructor was very informative. Thank you

Set in a clean and spacious, light-filled studio, the session was great fun and we learned a lot. The teacher was very patient and encouraging. After a demonstration of the basic techniques, everyone had lots of time on their own wheels to create whatever they wanted. Highly recommended this class to anyone wanting to try something new.

Jessika Cichy Dec 2023


I originally went to the pottery wheel class and loved it so much that I decided to try the hand building class, and it didn’t disappoint! Rosie was a great teacher - allowing us to make whatever we liked while helping us every step of the way to achieve the goal. She gave us tips as we worked and helped troubleshoot problems we came across. The class itself was relaxing and comfortable, and the time allotment allowed me to create 2-3 pieces. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic party place!
Kids were so happy with their creation!
Absolutely a great place for a party!

Cindy Tran Dec 2023


Very enjoyable class and great value compared to other options! Eddie was a great teacher and had one on one time to those who needed it. They give you as much clay as you need to make pieces and let you keep 4 pieces included in the price with extra pieces only being $5. You choose one of of 4 glaze colours (red, white, light green and blue). You have about 2 hours or a little less of wheel throwing time. Only wish there was more guidance on technique or a better diagram above the wheel as it is hard to remember it all including hand placement from one demo .

Jessika Cichy Dec 2023


Charlie was a great teacher and very easy going. He walked us all through the process quickly yet effectively, which meant we got a bunch of time to have fun with the clay. Totally fine to make mistakes, mess and masterpieces! Fun activity you can do solo or with friends :) Definitely going back again!

Cindy Yuen Dec 2023


Charlie was awesome - super knowledgeable and attentive to helping us beginners in making some pieces to be proud of. The setup was great. I've had other pottery classes in Melbourne but this studio has more clay/pieces you can take home, and wider selection of pottery tools and glazes to choose from. I like that they try to recycle and be sustainable where possible too.

Sarah Rivers Dec 2023


I would 100% recommend the wheel throwing workshop. Although there were some pieces in the clay, the knowledge of the teacher Eddie was awesome! I would recommend a day out with the family. Thank you for your awesome help and wonderful service. Kindly Sarah!

Thanks for good experience! We really appreciate the first pottery session. We sure will be back for another session!

Tessa Jungling Dec 2023


I took my 8 yr old and we both had an absolute ball. The class was perfect for beginners, only four in the class, and our teacher Rose was so patient (my son would like to add that she was kind and lovely, and he wants to go every week!).
Thanks for a wonderful time Cones Studio!

Dalia Grigg Dec 2023


My 11 yr old did the wheel throwing course for kids. He had a lovely, knowledgeable teacher. It was great for him, he enjoyed being creative and he gained self confidence and a sense of achievement as he made the pottery pieces. The sessions are great and I think even the cleaning up is valuable as the kids learn to be responsible and leave the wheel as they found it, ready for the next person to use. He is looking forward to seeing the final pieces after they will be fired for the final time.

Sylvia Oh Nov 2023


I tried to organise this on behalf of my group and realise the public class timing might not work for us. However, I’ve reached out and manage to secure a private class with better timing. Our teacher, Charlie was amazing in demonstrating and helping us with some of our art pieces :) He sure made it looked so easy! We truly enjoyed our time at the studio and it was such a fun moment for all of us. I highly recommend the Wheel Throwing Workshop! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I took my 9 year old daughter to this class as she really wanted to try using a pottery wheel. Neither of us had done it before but Charlie was a great teacher and was really good at explaining what to do. Great fun and a really nice activity to do with my daughter. Would highly recommend!

Sophie Hurst Nov 2023


My first time throwing clay and it was so much fun! Suitable for absolute beginners like me and advanced folk alike! Eddie was a great teacher and happy to answer any questions and provide assistance with pottery that was going wobbly! I came out of the class with 4 pieces, which I throughly enjoyed making, I would highly recommend just having a go

Really enjoyed my pottery class in
Bentleigh on Saturday. It was well organised, all necessary equipment was provided in excellent condition and instructions were clearly given. I was able to produce a number of pots and didn’t feel rushed. Our teacher was helpful and shared his time equally with participants.

Eugenia Garcia Rahi Nov 2023


I took a class at this studio. It was wonderful. Rosie was great at explaining and encouraging us to build what we like. Totally recommend taking classes at this studio if you’d like to get into pottery

I thoroughly enjoyed the class the teacher explained the process first and then we participated and if we had a problem she was there to guide and help.
The studio was spacious, and each student had their own wheel with plenty of space to work. The atmosphere was fun, jovial and relaxing, which helped make every student feel at ease.
The clay was smooth and easy to work with.
I found the experience enjoyable and good value for money.
I made 7 pieces and because I liked them all paid the extra to get them fired and glazed.

Rachael Mariani Oct 2023


My seven year old nephew and I had a wonderful time. Rosie was a lovely, helpful and passionate teacher.

Tammy Kamil Oct 2023


We were there for a hens activity and had a lot of fun. Pottery is more difficult than you think, and pretty hard to make nice pieces by yourself in a one-off 2.5 hour class, but our teacher was excellent and made sure to give each of the girls one on one time so that they could go away with some nice pieces!
The materials they gave us all seemed to be exactly what we needed and good quality.
They were very accommodating and let us bring in food and drink into the space and play our music.
Would definitely recommend!

Irena Zilberman Oct 2023


Thank you for our workshop, it was a great way to celebrate my birthday and all the guests really enjoyed it.
There was plenty of clay to play with and a good amount of time. I appreciate that our pieces will be glazed. Great experience!

Jackie Cheung Oct 2023


My sister and I had a good time at the ceramic painting workshop. Our teacher was Charlie, who was friendly and helpful. He gave us useful information about the different media we could use to paint our chosen pieces of ceramic pottery ($10 - $40 price range). We were left to paint in peace, with Charlie being nearby to answer questions. It was an enjoyable morning. I would highly recommend the class. In fact, I will be sure to come back with friends and family.

Khanh Oct 2023


First time trying pottery and this class was a great intro to wheel throwing! Eddie was personable, friendly and a lovely instructor. Starting off with a brief introduction and a demo, Eddie spent the class wandering around assisting and supporting a class full of beginners with patience and kindness. Reassuring us that it’s normal to find it difficult at first and a bit awkward to begin with, Eddie made sure we all at least walked away with one piece each by the end of the class. 2 1/2 hours easily flew by with how much fun we were all having. Would recommend and keen to come back to practice the art of wheel throwing. Looking forward to coming back in 6-8 weeks to pick up our pieces. Good value for 2 1/2hrs and you get to keep up to 4 pieces with additional $5/piece if you make more and want to keep them. Keep in mind you only get to choose one glaze option for all of your pieces at the end. Great way to catch up with a loved one, learn something new and have a bit of fun!

Claire Pietersen Oct 2023


Staff really friendly and helped my daughter and her friends out to formulate their ideas and produce a great pot. We will be back.

I absolutely will be recommending cones studio and be coming back to do more of my own personal classes/workshops!
Such a welcoming and relaxing environment with clear instructions on how to approach the workshop which I really appreciated. I felt like we were encouraged creative freedom whilst also feeling comfortable with knowing what we were doing. The choices of ceramics was extremely diverse and also super cheap given I know the labour that goes into making them. I am so glad cones is getting the attention that it deserves. Couldn’t recommend it enough

Tulin Kemal Oct 2023


I did the Saturday evening class with my niece. We both loved it. I’ve done a class elsewhere, and I much preferred this class. Eddie was a fantastic instructor and clearly very good at what he does. It was a small enough group for us ask to get the help we needed.
I can thoroughly recommend it.

Kaine Jenkins Oct 2023


My partner and I had a great time throwing clay at Cones. Eddie was our teacher and he was super helpful, giving a tutorial at the start of the class, then working one on one with each of the 8 people in the group throughout the session. We were able to use as much clay as needed (which you will need lots of during the first half of the session) and we ended up with 3 hand made pieces each. By the end we both felt like we were getting the hang of the techniques and are looking forward to doing it again!

We completed the ceramic painting class with a group of friends over the weekend which we loved! Our teacher was lovely and provided us with clear instructions on how to complete the activity. The venue was accessible and easy to find however we did have to share the space half way through the session with a wheel throwing pottery class.
Overall it was a great experience that I would complete again! Thanks for the fun filled session Classbento!

Thank you for a fun and creative afternoon! I did the wheel throwing with a few friends and we thought Eddie was so patient and informative. The equipment was clean and new and we could use as much clay as we needed. It was great value for money and we cannot wait to pick up our creations. Would highly recommend!

Alexander James White Sep 2023


Wow, what a great experience! Eddie was such a great and patient teacher with the knowledge and expertise to answer any questions we had. My fiance & I both had such a great time learning how to use the pottery wheel and making our pieces which will be fired and glazed ready for us to pick up in a month or so. Defo worth the money we paid, we’ll be back!

Pottery class review by Julie - Melbourne

Jothe Ramesh Sep 2023


Thoroughly enjoyed our first pottery session as a family. The teacher was patient, the setup was casual, and all we had to do was show up in clothes we didn't mind getting dirty. My 7yo said it's the best experience he's had learning to do something as a family. Thanks for the experience. Can't wait to come back and collect our unique and finished master pieces!

Hester Yao Sep 2023


Carly was great in relaying the introductory skills of the class, as well as being hands-on in assisting the participants during the session.

My niece gained a new appreciation of pottery/ceramics making and had really enjoyed the experience. The class was great value for the materials, pieces made, well-experienced instructor and organised studio.

Glenn Lloyd Sep 2023


The class was a lot of fun. Eddie was a patient and knowledgeable teacher. Helpful too. I would thoroughly recommend giving this a go. I wasn't very good # but I still had a great time doing this with my wife.

Lorna Dawe Sep 2023


It was a great class. Our teacher showed up in detail how to start making different shapes. We all have it a try. I struggled. Bit at the get go and had help setting up my work. We both really enjoyed it and have even more respect to the skills to make detailed pieces. Thank you for a great night!

We had a great time! No time was wasted, our skilled instructor who was friendly and calm, introduced us to the wheel and clay throwing, shaping the clay and producing a basic shape.
The wheel was easy to use, the clay easy to shape and no pressure placed upon us to get it right.
Included in our session we could create up to four items which will be glazed and fired for us to collect in a few weeks. (Any more than four have a small fee so a set of bowls or cups was possible.)
A truly great exercise and a great sense of achievement. Special thanks to our instructor Tahni for her assistance when we needed it and encouragement through the whole session.

Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon with some friends. The teacher was lovely and the instructions she gave were easy to follow and we basically had 3 hours to create what we could as we wanted to. Can't wait to see the finished products. Recommended

Anonymised ClassBento student Sep 2023


I enjoyed trying something new for myself, the materials and equipment provided helped me to enjoy my time. It is a nice studio and friendly stuff, enough of equipment and materials which was great.

There are a few important things that could make the workshop much better:
- some introduction with history, some facts about pottery or studio or ceramics etc.
- some info about the process overall, what happens before (e.g. where the clay is coming from, what texture it should be etc.) and after making our pieces (there was some quick info but a lot more could be talked about just generally speaking about the process)
- more of how to make pieces, technics, what to do if (we had a demo but it was more of showing how a professional is doing it with some explanation that wasn't enough to start and know what I'm doing )
- step by step guide for the whole group (e.g. everyone is trying X step, now we all move to Y step, now we will do Z - with correction and opportunity to ask questions and involvement of the teacher if we cannot make it work on each step, and then we have time to repeat it for ourselves with further pieces)
- the overall leading the group from the very first minute to the last could make it a very different experience, it felt we were allowed to use an equipment with a demo and a professional helped us with our pieces and that is a great start, however being more led and guided would be great
- cleaning all the equipment at the end felt a bit too much sorry (no issues with may be putting things back and small stuff like that etc. but cleaning the equipment and tools is not great at all)

I still enjoyed, I know based on attending other crafty type of workshops it can be better and hope my feedback will help to identify some gaps.

I still want to say thank you again for having me and providing an opportunity to try something new. Please keep doing what you are doing you have a great start

Belinda Gates Sep 2023


We had a fun and creative afternoon doing the Clay Wheel Throwing Workshop! The teacher was great, so friendly, helpful, and clear with instructions. It was a relaxed and encouraging environment. It was wonderful to be able to create our own pieces of usable art to take home (once it’s been glazed and fired). I can’t wait to do it again soon! I highly recommend!

I was surprised by my partner as a birthday gift and I totally enjoyed the experience. The hand pottery class was fun, simple and I’ve loved every part of it. The teacher was giving nice clues to help us to create our own piece and we had enough time to finish them.
I particularly liked the fact that we could do multiple pieces for the same price.
I would recommend this class to anyone who want to spend a couple of hours to create something special.

Jasmine Lee Sep 2023


Rose was an amazing and warm teacher. Great instructions to get us all started and then always there in case we had any questions on how to achieve the piece we were trying to build. Rose let our creativity go wild and facilitated a lovely group environment to play and make anything we wanted with some new friends along the way.

We had plenty of time to make a 1-4 pieces depending on the difficulty of what we were trying to achieve, so the workshop was great value for money.

I took my partner as a surprise for his birthday and he loved it so much. Such a fun activity for couples to get out of your heads and feel grounded in making something from your bare hands. Very relaxing. I loved what I made. Can’t wait to pick them up.

Highly recommend! We could’ve been there all day!

I’ve loved learning to play with clay this year. Different teachers = different styles and techniques so don’t give up just because it doesn’t work out the first time. It’s a very addictive calming experience even when you’re frustrated by the wobbling wheel throwing - it makes you want to keep trying. I hope I’m able to continue learning. Try hand-building and wheel throwing too.

Cones is a lovely place to learn - different teachers means different styles, so don’t give up if it doesn’t quite work for you the first time. Like finding the perfect cake recipe (it takes trial & error and practice). Wheel throwing (cantering) has been really difficult but working with clay is a calming, therapeutic experience. I’ll continue going back to learn more :)

Deborah Rhodes Aug 2023


The setting was good and the equipment was great. I learnt a lot from Eddie, and one of the other students who had been there before. I did not like being videoed at the window by passers by but didn’t mind people looking in.

Myriam Ellison Aug 2023


Very patient teacher who explained the technique well. She could have perhaps repeated the steps once more to ensure well completed them well but overall I was very happy. She was very approachable.

Mia Aug 2023


Eddie was very friendly and offered a lot of help to everyone in the class. He created a friendly, supportive and fun environment for all of us who had never done wheel throwing before. Cones Studio was so light and open and felt very inviting, private and created a personalised experience.

Anne Miguel Aug 2023


It was an interesting experience especially for a raw beginner.
I liked using the clay. There is so much to learn. Many more classes are needed. I want to learn about under glazing next.

Madeleine Lisle Aug 2023


Our teacher was great! Very patient and explained the techniques well. Would definitely recommend as it's good value for money. You get to keep 4 pieces but can make as many as you like, which meant you could get the hang of things and make a couple of really refined pieces.

Great class. Eddie was a great teacher trying very hard and made wheel turning look so easy. Equipment was perfect and well maintained. Everything we needed was provided including aprons. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.

Tracy Sun Aug 2023


The studio was busy and bustling. Compared to the handmaking and wheelspin classes, this class is more self-directed. There was only a brief instruction at the start. The brushes can also be better/new but the available pieces and paint was nice. Can’t wait to see the finished pieces in a couple of weeks!

Lena Zhan Aug 2023

The session healed a part of our souls we didn't know needed healing (Billie the dog definitely helped).

Charlie was so helpful and very hands on. The space itself was beautiful too, with large windows and a cosy feel.

Even as someone who, to put it lightly, wasn't the most skilled, I had such a great time that I'll be going back soon.

Angelina Denisenko Aug 2023


The class size was small which was good!
The teacher was enthusiastic, however he explained the techniques very quickly and briefly and did not repeat the instructions. It was therefore hard to follow because it was so "free".
When asking about left handedness, he just told me "try to switch to your right hand" with no alternative techniques. I felt that my attempts could have been better if I was given an alternative left handed option! Or a disclaimer for left handers.
He also did not come around to help as often as he could have and seemed to not be interested in helping us.
Although he is clearly talented at his job, I feel that he could improve his teaching style.

It was a great workshop. There is an assortment of ceramics to choose from ranging from $10-$50 (you can do multiple). You start with the primary colours (red, blue, yellow), black, & white laid out on a 'palatte' for you but also have free rein on other glaze colours.

Charlie is a wonderful teacher and great with the kids, my daughter loves the wheel and learnt a lot of new techniques and can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic session. Eddie was a great instructor and helped everyone with making something functional to take home. The studio was well set-up and there was ample space/ supplies for all participants. Would definitely do this session again.

Charlie is a fantastic teacher, helping each person in the class no matter their experience or skill level. Really enjoyable, relaxing and fun!

Sarah Trent Jul 2023


Attended a wheel throwing class with my sister and dad and it was excellent! Helen who ran the class was friendly, professional and so patient. We had so much fun!

Judy Avisar Jul 2023


Teacher Helen was fabulous, supportive , fun, excellent instructor, created a very relaxed environment.
Learnt the organic nature of clay, to flow with the organic process, without preplanbed ideas and expectations. Great metaphor for life!

Paula James Jul 2023


Cassie was so lovely and welcoming. Immediately put us all at ease. She demonstrated clearly and assisted one on one when needed. The setup was perfect. All the equipment/tools you needed, and plenty of space. We all managed to produce great pieces. Now the wait for our final finished pieces. They do the rest over the next six weeks and then we’ll have our finished glazed pots. Can’t wait! Fantastic experience.

Lovely venue. Great to see how the business has grown. Joined a couple of school holidays programs to learn more clay techniques. Great to learn from different ppl because they have different styles and ways of teaching. Thoroughly enjoyed and will continue to attend as I can.
Great for kids and families too, because it allows you to create to your skill, preference and age.

Great and relaxing night out! Threw as many times as we liked - or needed - in order to make a few cups/bowls/salt cellars etc. it was great to just feel clay under instruction and have a couple hours to zen out. Highly recommend for those stressed by work or other life events, as it’s a very calming experience.

pottery painting class was fun, definitely enough time to paint the pottery, instructor was good, at the start she ran through everything and then checked on us throughout the workshop but it’s pretty independent since it was just the painting. there was a pretty good selection of paints and you could mix them so it was good. there was also a decent selection of things to paint.

My son did a hand building holiday work shop and loved it!
The teacher was fantastic and great with the kids.
Showing different techniques and helping when needed. My child is 7 and it was his first time doing pottery.
He had so much fun and was so happy he got to make 4 different pieces.
Absolutely everything was provided.
The studio is lovely and after a great experience for my child I’m now going to be doing a class myself.
I love that they have kids and adult classes. Great value for money

Liyan Du Jun 2023


My son had great time today. New experience to him. Thank you very much Jo

Nan Ternai Jun 2023


What a great night! Super fun and chill. Our teacher Charlie was supportive and assisted where needed, always giving us great tips and instructions, but also allowed us to have lots of creative freedom to try it out for ourselves and see what worked for us. Was an extra bonus to know they recycle all the clay so it doesn't go to waste!

Henry Gehrig Jun 2023


Great vibes, everyone is really friendly and welcoming! You don't need to know anything about pottery to get started, everyone's happy to give you a hand

Christine Shingles Jun 2023


It was a great introduction to the pottery wheel.
Very well instructed and fun.
If you have ever wanted to give it a go this is the perfect start.

Ms Bird Jun 2023


We had a great time in the class with Charlie. He helped when it was needed and shared tips along the way. The cost of the class is well worth it for the 4 pieces you get to take home. Will do anything class soon!

Went for a private wheel throwing workshop with 7 friends and it was just an incredible experience! Our teacher, Helen, was the sweetest, helpful and very supportive throughout the workshop! The workshop was challenging yet very very fun, a perfect opportunity to unwind and try something different!

Would highly highly recommend this place - a very good value for money too
Can’t wait to see our ceramics in a few weeks

Christine Chamoun Jun 2023


Such a great space and an amazing teacher in Casey. She was great at supporting us through the wheel throwing process and helped us make cups and bowls and even vases!

Great place with good equipment and enough space to work. Charlie is friendly and helpful and would show us a technique at the beginning of class and then let us experiment, practice and work on anything we chose to make. He was always available to help, more clay or what we needed.

Katherine McLaren Jun 2023


Very casual and fun. The environment is nice, and Charlie the teacher was kind and welcoming. When people are using the pottery wheel's though, the sound can be a little overstimulating, so maybe bring headphone's if you are sensitive to that kind of thing.

Clare Wallace Jun 2023


We attended as a group of 14 as a school trip. All the young people had a great time. The studio was a relaxing & inviting space. 100% recommend.

I attended the class on Sunday night. Helen, the teacher was great. Very relaxed, approachable and helpful. Her instructions were clear and the aim was to have fun! I was surprised by my results and produced about 7 pieces. The hardest decision was choosing just four that I could get fired and glazed. Some of the first pieces were very little and it would have been nice to keep them as momentos, but not worth an extra $5 for the priviledge. We also had a choice of 4 glazes but you could only chose one colour for all your pieces. A bit disappointing :-(( Overall it was a good experience. Just the couple of changes I raised could make it a great experience though. Thank you.

Nina Phillips Jun 2023


Teacher was really friendly anf supportive, was able to help if we got stuck at any point. We got to create as much as we wanted and then keep and glaze 4 pieces

Deb Verhoeven Jun 2023


Great fun and value for money. We really enjoyed the opportunity to try different things and learn from our (many) mistakes! I felt the teacher was stretched because we were a relatively large group of 8 and quite needy LOL. To do it again I feel like the optimum group size would be no more than 6 people.

Sophie Shi Jun 2023


The teacher is amazing! We had good time together and everything is well explained. We will be back.

Sharon Tan Jun 2023


Our family of 6 enjoyed the class and was pleasantly surprised we get to take back 4 pieces back ! Eddie even shared some of his pieces . Thanks .

Eddie was marvellous, a very patient teacher, instructions were simple and the atmosphere relaxed. Plenty of clay available for all our mistakes, and the equipment was in terrific order.

We were given a lot of freedom with how to create. Instructions were brief and then our teacher Rory helped us in a hands on way as we needed it. We were able to create several pieces each in our session. I was surprised at how achievable it was you make some pieces and to use the wheel. The venue was easy to find, light and bright.

LOVED - SUCH A FUN DAY!

We had such a fun time in our class at Cones Studio.

Our instructor started with showing us how to use the wheel and clay and a few tips and tricks on how to turn our lump of clay into something pretty cool.

We were given an endless supply of clay to play with and were able to make as many pieces as we liked.

There was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun! We loved making a mess together in the attempt to make something beautiful.

We booked this class as a birthday activity but would definitely book again and come back for some more fun

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This workshop was a good way to work out that I did enjoy the process and would seek to commit to a ongoing term in the near future.

We had a great time painting pottery at Cones Studio, the class was priced amazingly with an additional cost between $10-$40 depending on what you pick to paint. If you are chasing a guided class this isn’t for you, the instructor will give you the basics and is always there to give you a hand but otherwise you will paint autonomously which we loved. Will defs be back!

This was a fun time for adults re-experiencing the messy manipulation of wet sticky material we used to enjoy in early school days developing our motor skills and fine muscle control. Computers, TV - Bah. Wine and cheese - Pfft. This is getting back in touch with your inner child. The intro was brief and we were quickly into the clay. The instructor knowlegable and friendly. A great introduction to throwing.

This class was so much fun It was much harder than I expected, but Charlie was a great teacher, and was able to help out. I can't wait to pick up my "masterpieces" once they've been fired

Christian Luca Mar 2023


We had a great time in our class. Our teacher Charlie was very personable and helpful, and gave us plenty of time to experiment and play with the clay. He was always available to support, and he helped make the class fun and enjoyable. We got to use a lot of clay, and especially for a beginner that was very useful as we made lots of mistakes at the start. We are really looking forward to getting our items back glazed and ready for use. Being in Bentleigh it was very convenient location for us, and it would also be easy to get there via public transport being right next to the station. Having a small class size of 8 was nice too as it almost felt private, but also with a nice community feel. We had a great time and we will hopefully come again soon to give it another go! Thanks again

All round amazing vibes and I highly recommend this class as it is super beginner friendly and the studio has many resources to use for a very reasonable price.

Thank you so much to everyone at the studio.

Great experience! Eddie was very helpful in helping us create our pieces. Fantastic value for money! There is also plenty of street parking right outside the studio which is nice.

Laura Murphy Mar 2023


Lots of fun but limited time with instructor. Greater appreciation & understanding of skills required. Thank you for the opportunity. Unfortunately, I have a back injury & the position re: seating was not conducive to my condition. Was great spending the time with my daughter & really looking forward to our final pieces. I will certainly recommend the class to friends. Thank you.

We got to make four pieces, which get fired and glazed afterwards for you to pick up at a later date. We had a great time - our teacher was very thorough, and made sure to help people who needed some extra assistance. Perfect for individuals, couples or groups!

Olivia Parisi Mar 2023


the teacher was super helpful and the class was a lot of fun. the group was small which also made it a lot more comfortable! everything needed was provided and the studio was modern and clean and very cool. worth the money !

I attended an introductory session on hand building. Our teacher was very friendly, informed, approachable and helpful.
The venue was great spacious, bright and comfortable.
All the materials you needed were supplied and plentiful
I was able to make 3 pieces and paint one which was great.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience I hope to continue.

Fleur Bound Mar 2023


The instructor for this session was very friendly and helpful.
The venue was well set up with the appropriate equipment as well as the material provided to make our master pieces with.
Overall, this experience was good value for money, and I learnt a lot from this session.
It was a fun session but also gave a good overview of what it takes to produce a ceramic masterpiece - it's not as easy as it looks!
I would definitely recommend taking a session if you are interested in ceramics and getting an idea of what is involved with pottery.

I recently took a wheel throwing class with Eddie and it was an amazing experience! Eddie was a great teacher and was always happy to help. He was very hands on, walking around and assisting each student with their work. He was also patient, answering all our questions and taking the time to explain things in detail. Eddie was very knowledgeable and was able to provide us with insightful comments on our pieces. Overall, I would highly recommend Eddie's wheel throwing class to anyone looking to learn the basics of the craft.

Maria Miller Feb 2023


Eddy was fantastic! So patient and easy to follow. Loved it! This may the start of a ceramics addiction

Helen Markham Feb 2023


Charlie took my 15 y.o daughter and five friends for a private class and the girls had a blast! He kindly played their music (it was the Hamilton sound track, so quality! - theatre kids have great taste!) and helped them create some mini masterpieces… having never used a wheel before they all achieved a lot! Thanks for a great time

Grace Mannings Feb 2023


Tahni was an amazing teacher - I had such a fun time and learnt a lot. This class really built up my confidence in the art and feel like it’s something I could now give a go on my own! The venue is a lovely space and easy to get to via public transport. Would recommend to a friend

Ben Carney Feb 2023


I reckon a vid or too to watch before you come would be useful. Most struggled with centering on the wheel and then building their cup (or whatever) wall up…was a great family experience

This was a great small group with a wonderful tutor.
Cones studio has a relaxed feel and the class was so much fun

Great experience, the teacher Tahnee was friendly and helpful, we were able to make as many pots as we wanted but then had to choose only 4 to be fired and glazed which was hard for some as we wanted to keep them all! Very enjoyable

We had a lovely time at this class. The environment was great, 2.5 hours was enough to really understand the concept, make a couple of pieces and clean up after. I personally needed more practice but it depends on an individual on how quick they can figure things out. Each person gets to choose 4 creations to be fired and glaze. You get to also pick which coloured glaze you want for your set.

It was a fantastic introduction to week throwing. Most of us didn't have any prior experience. We were warmly welcomed and the teacher was patient, easygoing and attentive. He gave us the freedom to do our own styles, which I appreciated because I have arthritis. So my pieces came out wonky, which he called artistic. We have to return in 1 week to collect our pieces. We each get 4 pieces to take home and additional 1 costs $5.

Brooke Schlaikier Jan 2023


Such a lovely experience with Serena hosting our painting class. Lots of colours to choose from, we will definitely be back to see what else they have in future

We really enjoyed our class, the teacher was super helpful and encouraging, we made 4 pieces. Definitely a great 2 hours spent.

Lauren Eddy Jan 2023


We had an absolutely WONDERFUL time. Rose was knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful. We were guided to create our clay visions and were allowed a little extra time at the end to finish and make sure we were happy with our glazing. We definitely recommend and would totally go back again!

Ruby Hopkins Jan 2023


The teacher/owner Charlie was enthusiastic and helpful. The studio set up was super cute and organised with equipment easily accessible. It was great value for the money as you get to take home up to 4 of your art pieces. We got tort the basics on how to centre and cone the clay then form it into our desired shape. I loved the overall chill vibe and freedom to let your creative juices flow

Did a casual wheel throwing class with 4 friends (all beginners) and we had a great time. Our teacher Helen explained things clearly and was very patient. Fantastic value for money as we got to keep 4 of our pieces which were bisque fired then glazed in a colour of our choice. Very highly recommended!

Sommer Webb Jan 2023

Had heaps of fun in this class! We each got to submit 4 things to be fired and glazed. We were given the choice of a few glazes and asked to pick just one for our full set of made items.

Working with clay in your hands on Sunday afternoon is very relaxing and therapeutic. Cones studio Is in a ideal location near the train station. Friendly atmosphere and the instructor was very helpful passing on useful tips to improve our technique. First visit at Cones I did the hand clay method, this second visit was the wheel throw method. It takes a bit of practice and patience to master the wheel method but you will be rewarded with 4 pieces. Cones studio offer great value classes.

My daughter had her birthday party at Cones studio. The kids did the ceramic painting workshop, which they really enjoyed. The table with the colours was set up for us before we arrived, but there is an additional cost for the items the kids chose. We also had another table for the food and cake, which was great

Hi Cone Studios, we brought our 7 year old grand daughter for the hand building workshop. The instructor whose name was Nicole was very friendly and demonstrated the different techniques very well and used language which was easy to understand. I felt it was great value for money. Nicole was very engaging and encouraged all participants to enjoy their experience and learn new ceramic techniques. We all had an enjoyable time as we were able to assist our grand daughter who loved her Christmas present.

Only wished clay blocks were bigger so we can make bigger pieces rather than just cups, jewellery holders etc

Ellen Tang Jan 2023


Had an amazing time at Cones studio, Casey was lovely and explained everything clearly and answered all the questions I had. They offered a variety of different vessels to choose from starting at different price points and provided 8 vibrant colours to mix to create the perfect colour for our creative creations. Can't wait to see our finished products after they've been fired! My friend and I had a lovely time and would love to go back to attend other classes!

Great class as a first timer.
Small group of 8 meant our teacher could help when we needed it.
I like that she got straight into showing us, no chit chat at the start.

Lot of freedom to just do what we wanted but if there was anything specific we wanted to do she was very assisting.

Lot of fun, two hours just flew by. Id do it again.

I was lucky enough to take part in this ceramics class which was just fantastic. Our instructor taught us the basic skills behind how to shape clay before we were all allowed to attempt it on our own. It was a lot harder than it looked but our instructor was so helpful and gave us many tips gained from his many years of practice. Would do it again!

the Team Dec 2022


We went to Cones Studio for our Christmas break up. It was so much fun; we were all beginners. Nicole our teacher was fantastic she went through the process step by step.
We were able to make as many pieces as we liked and then choose our four favorites to be fired. I believe it was excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks again for fun afternoon

Eddie was a great teacher showing us how to do put the clay onto the wheel and was patient with questions. Small class of 6 people, the studio was suitable for this size. Enjoyed my time and good value for money. However if you don’t make 4 you will only take the number of pottery you make like 1 or 2

We really enjoyed the experience. Charlie was a great teacher, really funny, friendly & easy to learn from. I really appreciated the ease of rescheduling my session due to my anxiety and when I did get there, the small group environment, warm & inviting studio and the teacher's welcoming attitude made it so much less stressful than I had anticipated. My partner and I enjoyed ourselves so much, we are really keen to come back. I highly recommend for anyone, especially if you want to just go and try something a bit different.

Incredible! We would give 10 stars if we could! Nicole and Charlie were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the store was clean and well organised, such a great vibe to come into, very homely.
We had a private lesson with my husband, and daughter - Nicole was so great with all of us, explaining every small detail, we honestly didn't want to leave.
We were blown away by how much clay we were able to use, and how easy they made everything! We can't wait to see how our creations turn out!
There was a class session on during our session and it was so nice to see everyone having fun and really enjoying themselves.
Definitely be back for more, highly recommend!

Dianne Boyd Nov 2022


It was an enjoyable day and my friend and I did enjoy it and had a few laughs however I have to say I think there are areas for improvement as the way it is set up and being taught.

Susan Holmes Nov 2022


Highly recommended, especially for beginners on the wheel (like myself). The instructor, Eddie was fantastic in demonstrating the basic skills. Really relaxing atmosphere, will be joining up for more classes in the future. Really reasonably priced too as they fire and glaze your pieces for you to keep.

Novi Kesumaningtyas Nov 2022


I took the painting class, so on ur arrival, you will need to choose the already made clay (cup or bowl), you can choose based on the price there ($10-$40). Then you just need to sit on the table and start painting! It's not class where the teacher will show you how to paint. It's just you and the brush, which I enjoyed doing it. But if you expect an actual class, I think this is not that. They provide you with the brush and colors. After you've done, you will need to wait for +- 2weeks to get the finished result as they will put some glaze and fire it. The studio is really nice, not only painting session,they have clay making class as well. Planning to go back and take the clay one♡

Teacher was fantastic from the moment you were greeted at the studio, to ongoing instructions throughout the activity. She was most patient with us and would work in with what item/s we were keen to make.
Venue was located in a spot where there is plenty of easy, free parking. Also close to Bentleigh Station for those catching the train.
They were very generous with the materials ensuring you were happy with what you had wanted to make.
Would love to come back and make more. Highly recommend it.

Can highly recommend this addictive pursuit. The venue is clean, well organised and pleasant. Staff are amazing and our teacher Eddie was just brilliant. We are coming back regularly from now on. Loved it!

Jessica Miller Nov 2022


As we were waiting for others we lost a fair bit of time to actually get going on the wheels. Also felt there was too much time at the end for clean up and choosing. This could have been done in 10 mins instead of 30. So a fun course but all felt a bit rushed.

Sarah Jones Nov 2022


Had the best time at Cones! Fun, messy and great instruction and help throughout the class!

Class was extremely fun, teacher was so helpful and patient. We learnt some of the basics of wheel throwing and she was extremely positive and encouraging. Have recommended to my friends and will be back!

Wheel Throwing Workshop review by Ashleigh Williams - Melbourne

Ling Wong Oct 2022


Fun venue and class with good guidance and additional demonstrations from the teacher throughout the 2.5 hours in a small class of 5-6. The experience was good value for money with unlimited clay for the making (much needed given multiple fun failures getting familiar with the clay!), and final output of 4 pieces for glaze and baking inclusive ($5 each for additional pieces).

Amazing teacher - lots of fun, hands off when needed but hands on when help required - really excited to go again!

Rebecca Jones Oct 2022


Nicole was a great teacher and the facilities were excellent and we learned a lot. I’d suggest in the future it may be an idea make it clear that these casual classes are open to everyone. Unfortunately our visit was clouded by two participants who made a point of declaring that they came to the class to “get away from children,” right in front of my daughter, who’d paid the same $80 to be they they had to be there.

We had an amazing time attending this workshop. It was the first time we did wheel throwing and would definitely do it again. Eddie was a great instructor and made us feel welcome and supported.

Cai Duong Oct 2022


Class was good but maybe too short for slow learners.
Would consider a full course package.

Mei Zhao Oct 2022


Charlie is a great teacher, very friendly and a funny sense of humour. The vibe of the class was very relaxed as there were only 6 of us, so we didn't have trouble asking for help when needed. I've already recommended the class to a few of my friends, and I would love to go back again!

Emily Hogan Oct 2022


I planned a date night with my partner, as we had never done this before and we both had an awesome time. Our Teacher (who I have forgotten his name, but he had hearing aids in) was a really nice and laid back teacher. He made us feel comfortable and helped us out when needed. The place was lovely and I found it to have a calming vibe about it. Even though I found it hard at first, by the end of the session I had got into a groove and had lots of fun making my products. I have recommended this place to my friends! :)

Rita Saliba Oct 2022


We were a group of friends with 12 year old daughters and everyone loved the class! It was fun and interesting and it was so rewarding to learn something entirely new. Helen was very good at explaining what we had to do but of course none of our pieces looking anything like what she was showing which added to the laughs on the night. Would do this again and also looking forward to their painting ceramics class!

Suzanne Parsons Oct 2022


Helen was amazing, so helpful and guided us perfectly. I came with my adult kids and we all LOVED it, including my son.

This is such an amazing workshop and I have recommended it to everyone I know. Charlie, the owner and pottery wheel teacher, is incredible, he makes it such a fun class. This is the second time I've done the pottery wheel workshop and I intend to go many more times in the future. I booked a private class for myself and my family and everyone had an absolute blast.

I've done workshops like this before at other studios and sometimes they've been a bit too rigid. For example, I was only allowed to create a specific object and every step was layed out by the teacher. Charlie however, gives us a quick demonstration of the basics and then guides us one by one on how to make whatever shape we want and lets us experiment and explore. I absolutely love it.

Thanks Charlie!

It's a great class. Charlie and Helen are great. They give you enough instruction to get you going but also hands off to allow you time to work things out for yourself but also available when you need them.

They provide a range of glazes.

The other students are lovely and welcoming which is a huge win.

I have had such a great time in the 8 week wheel throwing class, I signed up for a second term. Classes are small and they take the time to show you new techniques at the start of each class. It is very hands on which is great as I find practice definitely makes perfect. Highly recommend coming along by yourself or with one or two friends. Everyone is super friendly

Really loved the workshop! Great atmosphere and the teacher was super helpful throughout the process.

Sam Hickman Oct 2022


I forgot his name, but he had a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on his arm. Was a lovely guy. Very calm and definitely had a passion for pottery. He also made me a bowl and cup which was much appreciated as my pottery skills weren't the best, but I still wanted something from the class that I could use and keep.

The class was a gift for my girlfriend. She loved it. Certainly would recommend the class. My girlfriend really loved the experience and is looking to come back in the future.

Summer Oct 2022


This was such a great experience and although I had a lot of difficulty trying to get it right for the most part, it was still great fun and such a great workshop to learn a new skill. I highly recommend this kind of activity to other people who are interested and I also highly recommend this venue as the teacher was amazing and so patient with us students. He really takes his time trying to make sure that we understand what we are doing and his 30+ years of experience in pottery really helped us to make some beautiful pieces. I can't wait to see the finished product and pick them up!
The venue is also so convenient as it's only a 1 minute walk to the place from the train station. Me and my girl friends that I went to the class with had no trouble finding this place as we travelled from the other side of the city.
Thanks so much for this experience Cones Studio!

Carol McCall Oct 2022


The teacher, (didn't know her name) was very helpful on the wheel processes. Unfortunately, my arthritis made it too difficult for me. I tried to do free form but didn't really know what to do. Teacher was mainly preoccupied with wheel users. Ah, c'est la vie!

Teacher's response

Hi Carol, thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear your arthritis limited your ability to explore the pottery wheel to its full potential. We have experienced Hand Building teachers if you would like to continue your pottery journey with different techniques.

Rachel Oct 2022


The class overall was fun and engaging. The teacher, Ed modeled how to throw the clay and then assisted members of the class to create a cylinder and bowl shape. He was very kind and helpful. Would recommend this workshop to a friend. Only feedback is it could have been longer and I need to practise!

Lee Edgerton Sep 2022


Charlie was fabulous - explained beautifully to the kids (and adults) the key steps and techniques and was constantly circulating and attentive to all the participants to ensure they could give their creation the best possible go!

Such creative fun - really beautiful experience.

kids were a bit disappointed they didnt get to make something like the picture shown.

Maybe for beginner kids just use clay on table and not the wheel.

Teacher's response

Hi Edwina,

We are sorry to hear your kids were a bit disappointed with their experience at Cones Studio.

Our promotional images are made by a range of teachers and students who attend our classes, however we have since edited these to better reflect the type of pieces most commonly made in each type of class.

We also offer Hand Building Workshops where you can make different items on the tables using a range of techniques, and would love to welcome you and your kids back to try out this form of pottery.

Kind regards
Charlie

Charlie was a great teacher! So patient and helpful and talked us through the steps when help was needed.
It was the first time we’d worked with clay and I’d happily go again.

Alex Hall Aug 2022


A great class to learn wheel throwing! Our group were all beginners but we were made to feel very welcomed, the class was well thought out and our instructor Charlie was on hand to teach extra tricks of the trade and answer any questions we had! Would recommend to anyone thinking of giving wheel throwing a go!

It was a lovely class and I ended up with a piece I will be happy with (if it survives the oven). I guess I did not now what hand building was exactly so the technique itself was not what I expected. I think getting to the max of 4 pieces in 2 hours if you haven't done it before is overly ambitious. It was a lovely experience and a great idea for something different.

Amazing team at Cones Studio! Our group had a lot of questions and needed some things adjusted for accessibility, and Charlie was so lovely, open, and amazing every step of the way. Everyone had a fantastic time! I've already been recommending this to everyone I know, will definitely be booking again. Thank you to the whole team for a great day. :)

I had a lovely evening at Cones Studio. The teacher and the venue were both great and I got to learn the basics on how to make a few pottery pieces. I would recommend this place :)

Kath Spencer Aug 2022


Charlie was really friendly and helpful. His advice easy to follow and we got up to 4 pieces. It’s harder than it looks to do but the kids (8&10) were able to make something they wanted to bring home.

Tina Sharma Aug 2022


Charlie was great with the kids. My son and daughter had a lovely introduction to wheel throwing, and will be signing up for regular classes. The studio was clean and well equipped. Highly recommend.

Relaxing , creative and great way to spend some time with friends.

Group was 12 people, with another 10 doing a wheel throwing class in the same space. Our instructor Ling, was great - moving us through the first few steps of preparing our clay, and making a base for our project. Then we all just went at it!
I really enjoyed watching the bowl take shape, and the advice from Ling on making it, including how to smooth the surfaces, was invaluable. I was thrilled we got to glaze our objects too. Can't wait to see if it survives the firing process when I pick it up in 2 weeks' time!
Highly recommended - in fact I've just booked a wheel throwing class next month!

The teacher was lovely, class size great, busy atmosphere and quality equipment/ materials. The class taught coil hand building only which was disappointing and did not allow for more than one small piece to be made. It’s not as easy as it looks and I had hoped to be taught more techniques and ways to decorate the piece.

Megan Humphreys Aug 2022


Can’t recommend enough! Most affordable class you will come across. Small class size of 8 you get great help and direction as you go. Charlie is an amazing teacher, will definitely be coming back to buy my pottery supplies and using their firing services. Such a great authentic place to learn and create!

Charlie’s workshop was such a fun way to spend an evening! He’s a really nice guy and taught us in an informal, but informative way. Charlie checking that we were all ok, providing encouragement with the more ‘organic’ forms :) great music and company - worth every dollar. We are already thinking of ways to improve techniques for next time and will certainly be back again. Thanks Cones Studio's <3

The teacher, Helen was very friendly and enthusiastic. The class size is small so that you get a plenty of chances to ask questions or ask for assistance which is great for beginners.

Great venue and experience! The teacher was really helpful and experienced with lots of great tips. Learnt so much is such a short span of time. Such a great beginners introduction to pottery. I’ve never done wheel throwing before but I loved every minute of it and am hooked. Will definitely want to enrol in the term classes in the future!

Maija Gwynn Jul 2022


My daughter and her friend loved the pottery throwing class at Cones. Helen was really helpful at guiding them, the group was friendly and supportive, and the duration was just right to create 4 pieces. These are included in the session price, and they’re looking forward to picking them up once they’ve been glazed.

Michelle Delacorn Jul 2022


My 10yr old daughter really enjoyed the wheel throwing workshop. She’s already planning a trip back for her birthday.

Kathleen Flynn Jul 2022


Our daughter really enjoyed the experience. Though we were a little confused by the fact that it was offered as a childrens’ workshop & an adult was participating in it. If we know that parents were allowed to participate with their child, my husband or I would have taken part, so our 8 year would not have been left on her own. Also, I would suggest that all children be keep on premises till they are collected by parent etc… as our 8 year old came running up the street to us while we were three stores away.

Victoire Blom Jul 2022


Fun morning. Laurie was so patient and helped us make some cute pieces. Can’t wait to see the finished product with the glaze on.

Aquila McKenzie Jul 2022


Charlie gave a warm and friendly welcome to a cosy workshop. In my head I had made throwing on the wheel complicated but he gave simple explanations to the process and it suddenly became possible. Everything we needed was provided. We were surrounded by other students work from the raw pot to finished, glazed ceramic.
I enjoyed the process immensely, as it appeared, did everyone else. I had long ago experience but had lost technical skill and confidence. Charlie was encouraging and also challenged me out of my comfort zone. I left extremely happy with what I had achieved. Above all, it was FUN!

Elisa Cherian Jun 2022


A lovely meditative activity - perfect if you're catching up with a friend as there's plenty of time to chat. We chose a small piece ($20/$30) and then painted them with about 8 colours that we mixed. If you're in a rush, you could cut it short - otherwise enjoy the full 2 hours.

Jan Tucker Jun 2022


My friend and I attended the Throwing Class yesterday. Charlie - our teacher who warmly welcomed us, demonstrated how to throw the clay and make pieces of pottery. We thought it looked reasonably easy and looked forward to making amazing masterpieces
Well it isn't as easy as it looks but we both ended up with 4 pieces which will be fired and glazed. It was such great fun and though our hands and apron were covered with more clay than on our wheel we thought we received value for our money. Charlie was very friendly and helpful and provided all the clay we wanted to use, tools, water and drying cloths. I would recommend this fun class and if you have a hidden talent you can go on and attend more classes to become a professional potter!
Thankyou Charlie we had a great two and half hours.

I had a great time wheel-throwing. Helen was an engaging, knowledgeable instructor and was willing to let each of us go at our own pace, with as much or as little help as we wanted. All materials were supplied, with a demo at the start and then we got stuck into it straight away, giving us 2 full hours of actual making. Good class size and I ended up with 4 items to take home.

Such an awesome experience, especially during this cold winter here in Melbourne. It was new and different, and a way to learn while doing something fun and messy! We were given artist aprons, music was playing in the background and it was such a cool vibe to be around. We had Charlie, he was super knowledgeable and easy going. All the materials to shape and and make different patterns on our bowls and pots were provided! Definitely worth the money, and great value for money, 2 and a half hours!

Helen was a fantastic teacher! We had a really great time learning how to throw clay at Cone Studio. The new venue in Bentleigh was great, easy to find.

Glenn Casey May 2022


The 2 hour session was a perfect introduction to the wheel and enough time and clay to really get a sense of the experience. There are unlimited opportunities to fail and try again. Would love to take a full term class to perfect the basics. Good value esp. given you can take 4 fully glazed items you made with you. Highly recommended. Class sizes of 6 are intimate enough to receive personal guidance (which is needed).

I am HORRIBLE at wheel throwing but Charlie honestly made me feel like I was the best and was encouraging me the entire time. He was so lovely and very entertaining.
Good tunes, good vibes.
It was the best start to the day, I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back in the future.
I made a big mess but it was just so much fun!

Helen and Charlie were fantastic. It was our first attempt at pottery but with Helen’s teaching and pointers we were all able to create some pieces we were pretty stoked with! The small class size meant plenty of support and guidance when it was needed. Great value for money. We will definitely be back again.

We had a great time with Charlie at Cones Studio! It was such a chill, friendly and encouraging environment, and a great class for beginners to get a feel for wheel throwing. There is even the sweetest studio dog to play with in between getting your hands messy!

Tamara Andrew Apr 2022


Charlie, the teacher at Cone Studios was fab, related well to all students, instructed clearly and was professional. The environment was well set up, bright and comfortable. We had a great time and really enjoyed our casual wheel class.

Great teacher and nice venue. His explanation of the technique was clear and he was a great help putting it into practice. The kids had fun and so did the adults involved.

Olivia Patterson Apr 2022


An enjoyable beginner pottery wheel class, we loved being able to make our own pieces. Charlie was a good teacher, approachable and bubbly. I would recommend class for absolute beginners. Great activity, really great to be present and focussed on making something. Be sure to wear old shoes, and clothes. Looking forward to picking up our glazed pieces in a fortnight!

Olivia Fouache Apr 2022


Great teacher (friendly, professional and knowledgeable!) and a great class. Can't believe how affordable it was for what we got to learn! I'd love to do a semester so I can learn better.

Anna Pattison Apr 2022


Such a fun class. The teacher was great. Knowledgeable, helpful and very encouraging. Good class size. Lots of time to try and get the hang of making an item. Found it much harder than it looked. Would love to go back and keep practicing, maybe then I’ll have a decent bowl
Thoroughly recommend.
Thank you

Ligia Blain Apr 2022


Owner Charlie was friendly and patient. We really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely consider coming back.

Alex Johnston Apr 2022


Helen was fantastic at getting us comfortable with the skills needed and was present throughout to lend a hand. The music in the background was a nice touch and with the fun my partner and I had there was certainly a lot of value for the price point. And that's before considering we'll be able to keep the pieces we made once ready.
Thanks again guys!

What was the teacher like? I really enjoyed this wheel throwing class. Charlie was fantastic and was there to help us all achieve some wonderful pieces we can display in our home.

All materials and an apron is provided and this class is great value for money. For a little over two hours you get quite a bit of time working with the clay. I would have been happy walking out with one piece, however I ended up making 4!

Thank you Charlie for being a great teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed today's class.

Kayla Gall-Powell Apr 2022


Was heaps of fun, great value for money as we got to keep four pieces. The teacher was very helpful and supportive as we all attempted to make something that resembled a bowl.

Great teacher. Very friendly and helped us to feel relaxed from the start. Sometimes I worry about not feeling 'good enough' around creative people, yet I didn't feel this way thanks to the teacher and the small class size. Really enjoyed this.

This class was really fun. I've been playing with hand building clay for a while and wanted to try wheel throwing for comparison. I learnt a lot Our instructor, Charlie, was so friendly and kind. He kept the instructions simple with lots of hand on time so I felt like I had a good chance to get a feel for it. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Katrina McLeish Mar 2022


Charlie the teacher was very friendly and helpful, and the class was a lot of fun!

Some of us had more natural talent than others, but we all lose something we can keep

The room was bright and had a happy atmosphere, and we were allowed to use as much clay as we wanted

Great class , Charlie made you feel very welcome and you could make as many pieces as you like , the clay pieces just kept coming - glaze and take home 4 pieces (small fee for extras) with a good choice of glaze colours.

Very relaxed atmosphere and a great way to try and be creative. My daughters and I had a great time- thanks.

Great location next to train station.

Such an amazing class! And Charlie was so incredibly helpful. Would definitely recommend this - you even get to keep 4 items & you can make as many as you want! (Which is a good thing because I stuffed up a fair bit haha). My partner & I loved the session and can’t wait to take home our pieces.

Requested a private class with Charlie and he was absolutely incredible! The venue was extremely cute, well lit and adorned with endless pieces of work (that u can buy!)!

Lots of clay, carving materials and wheel was provided in a cleanly and informative fashion! We were able to select our glazes and are now eager to take our multiple pieces home in 2 weeks! HIGHLY RECCOMEND! ❤️❤️❤️

Had a really good time attempting to make thibgs from clay. Charlie was super fun and helpful and has created a wonderful space for people to learn. Highly recommend!

Anthony Nowell Feb 2022


Great lesson!
Charlie was a great personality and provided a fun and educational experience.
We learnt the basics of how to throw the wheel, and were given ample supplies to create several creations.
Prices were very reasonable, and the opportunity to just try one class instead of a term was a major bonus. Waiting to pick up the master pieces currently so cannot comment on the finished project.
Would recommend.

Elaine Whitton Feb 2022


Had a great relaxed class with 4 others learning how to use the pottery wheel. The time flew by and despite several attempts ending up in the "clayveyard" did produce a few pieces I was happy with as an absolute beginner. Charlie was helpful throughout. Can be tricky to find, it's on the corner, go through the double doors and it's opposite a small cocktail bar :) Would highly recommend.

Leonora Peluso Dec 2021


Charlie’s wheel throwing class is so much fun We booked for a birthday and couldn’t have enjoyed it more Music choices were also top notch and we had fun singing along to HSM

All materials and aprons are provided, so you just have to bring yourself, some friends and be prepared for a fun time with lots of laughs!

As beginners, it was welcoming to know that Charlie is super informative and will help you every step of the way. We ended up making 4 pieces each, and got to choose two colours for glazing.

We loved the casual class so much that we are going to book in the term classes for 2022!

Thanks again, Charlie for a fun day! ☺️

Charlie was a great teacher and super helpful during the entire clay making process. I would definitely recommend his class and would highly consider his 8 weeks courses. He is humorous, knowledgeable, and Is willing to assist whenever you have a question or need help with your work. You will have a blast in any of his classes and have the option of ordering drinks from next door to spark your creativity

Samantha Heylbut Dec 2021


This was so much fun. The teacher was so chilled and made the experience worth it

What an Amazingly fun and relaxing experience my mum and I had getting our hands into organic clay and creating unique pieces to be fired and glazed into ceramics. We both highly recommend the experienced teacher Charlie and his assistant Georgie who explained beginner wheel throwing very well. Thankyou e therapeutic and sensory benefits of touching clay speak for themselves. I can’t wait to see what our final pieces look like in afew weeks
