Even though he’s not super artsy, he came along with me and we both really enjoyed it.

This class is definitely a great gift idea and I would definitely be keen to do another one :)

The teacher was very friendly and informative. A great space too!
  • 5/5 from Zoe McKavanagh, attended Oct 2023: I had a really great time. The teacher is friendly and it was really nice atmosphere. I found the glazes really interesting, how they change in the kiln. I can’t wait to see mine finished when I pick them up!

  • 5/5 from Kai Atherton, attended Jan 2023: Absolutely stunning studio, I've been twice now and every time it just amazes me how adorable and aesthetic the studio is with so many great places to take photos after you've done with your new masterpiece, and very easily accessible. The "teacher" was amazing, guiding you step by step to make sure everyone was happy with the outcome of their pieces and letting you know if she thought something wouldn't work, and building with you to create something beautiful. I believe this is great value for money as not only do you get to take home 2 cups you also leave with an amazing experience you can't really get at many places. Overall amazing place, and has so many amazing classes for offer, will be back time and time again.
  • 5/5 from Desiree Hingle, attended Jan 2023: Taylor is a knowledgeable teacher, patient and clear with her instructions. All materials were provided and the experience and outcome of producing two uniquely individual glazed teacups, was good value for money. The venue was inviting, clean, comfortable, friendly and fun. The most exciting time will be the big reveal and collection of my teacups.

Clay and Sip with The Island Potter

5.0 (135)

A small pottery studio based in the Northern Gold Coast. All pieces are handmade and original. I try not to take work too seriously. Clay is a fickle medium and you end up learning you have to run with the punches. It can be a rollercoaster of highs and huge fails and that is what makes it so appealing! You never know what you are going to get! I offer small bespoke hand building workshops in an informal and fun environment.
