Body-Positive Pottery Class: Sculpt Your Own Mug

We absolutely loved this workshop. The teacher was accommodating, talented and so funny! We walked away with a statue we both LOVE. Would 100% recommend

My friends and I really enjoyed our private class with Irina. She was a great teacher, and helped as little or as much as you wanted on the day. It was such a fun experience.

This was Lucy's second time doing this class

This is such a fun class. Irina has an amazing eye for space, form and detail and a wonderful knowledge of clay.

This was the chance to sculpt my second pet Mishka, my 16 year old mini daxi who died in July. Her favourite thing was crawling into my dressing gown sleeve.

This class makes you feel close to your furbaby in a whole new way.

Absolutely loved it.

Irina is an incredible teacher!! It was my mum's first time ever playing with clay and as you can see she did an amazing job! Irina has great communication skills, it was really easy to follow along and she broke everything down into steps and paced the class really well. We really appreciated her patience and creating a fun and relaxed environment. The fluffy supervisorsr (cats) were also a delightful addition to the day! Thank you so much Irina, I will definitely be singing your praises to all my friends and be back one day to learn more!

Mould Making and Casting Course

Irina was lots of fun and we both really enjoyed the class. She helped us through every step and took a real interest in us. The cats were a bonus. Will recommend to our friends.

We brought our clients to Irina’s pottery workshop for a client entertainment activity and thoroughly enjoyed it! Irina was so patient and attentive, guiding us through each step with clear instructions while giving us plenty of time to chat, socialise and get creative. She created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere that made the whole experience feel really special.

The unexpected stars of the day were her two beautiful cats, who kept us company throughout the workshop! Such a lovely addition to an already wonderful experience. Highly recommend for a client outing, team activity or a fun afternoon with friends. Thank you, Irina!

Our teacher was the loveliest person. Very attentive and guided us the whole way. Allowed us to express our own creative freedom, the session felt intimate. We were shown how to paint using the clay and incorporating different marbling techniques. The total time went for about 2.5 hrs which goes very quickly but the perfect amount of time. She was hospitable, and has a lot of experience and knowledge. I would definitely do another session with her. I can’t wait to pick up my mug!

Shoba Sivanesa • Attended Jul 2026

Fun class! Irina was patient, clear, and perfectly hands on without hovering. She kept things moving at a comfortable pace and made it feel easy and enjoyable. Lots of laughs, time flew, and left feeling chuffed.

Iryna was a great instructor and included everyone in the group. The space was lovely and it was a very relaxing, creative way to spend the morning. Highly recommend

Ildy Izso • Attended Jul 2026

Awesome workshop! I had a very busy month at my day job and this workshop was exactly what I needed to decompress after meeting a tight deadline at work. Irina was very helpful and knowledgeable, helped me along the way with correcting mistakes and giving advice on the process. I'm very happy with my little sculpture and looking forward to visiting Imakesculptures again in the future.

Sandra Jeffers • Attended Jul 2026

Thank you Irina. We had such a great fun team building activity at the Make your own mug workshop. It was enjoyed by all 18 of us. We cant wait to see the end result. Would highly recommend.

Felicity Dougherty • Attended Jul 2026

This was fantastic. I did the class with three generations of our family, and we made mugs together that we will be able to drink from and remember a fun afternoon together. Irina was so helpful and kind throughout the class - helping every step of the way. Loved it!

Catherine Maher • Attended Jul 2026

I really loved this class! It was so much fun and the teacher was very helpful! It was fun learning how to sculpt someone in clay! I would do this class again with another friend. Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience!

Elena Hamilton • Attended Jun 2026

Took us a while to get to this exciting afternoon. Irina welcomed us and guided a couple of old non artistic's through the process. The end result was more than amazing and somewhere near a resemblance. A very enjoyable experience.

Katie Maclean • Attended Jun 2026

This was a such a fun and lovely night. Our teacher was attentive, responsive and so helpful. It was really relaxing and so fun to make models from clay

Camilla Leong • Attended Jun 2026

Irina is a really good teacher and taught us how to shape our clay, and also coming around to help whenever anyone needed it. Made a puppy, and the teacher was basically there helping me along every step of the way. Happy with how it turned out! We had a great chat and enjoyed a cup of tea which was really nice.

Florence Berchten • Attended Apr 2026

Great teacher and amazing result! A must try!

Jackie Yammine • Attended May 2026

Irina was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived, offering us tea and coffee to make us feel comfortable straight away. She also has two beautiful cats who were very friendly and added such a warm touch to the experience.

The workshop was so much fun. Irina is extremely talented, patient, and engaging, and she created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the session. We learned a lot, laughed the whole time, and came away with a really memorable experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something creative and unique!

Nicholas Roy • Attended May 2026

Our host, Irina, was absolutely a ball to chat to and laugh with! She taught us how to craft our own pets and we made some new friends - her cats!! Thank you so much for a good laugh!

Abi Mullen • Attended May 2026

This class was amazing and super fun! Irina was fabulous at guiding us through our sculpting (and helping us when we couldn’t quite figure it out!) it was a very fun birthday gift for a friend, but I imagine it would also be a very valuable experience for a more seasoned sculptor. Thanks Irina!

Ceramic Workshop: Make a Luscious Leaf Platter

We had a fabulous time in our class. Our teacher was lovely and explained/demonstrated in just the right way. We are both very impressed with our little sculptures.

Leah Orosa • Attended Apr 2026

Amazing class. Being creative and relaxing at the same time. Something nice to do together with a group of friends.

Sarah Veitch-Krone • Attended Apr 2026

We did this sculpture class as part of our bachelorette weekend activities and it was an absolute hit! Everyone who participated raved about it afterwards, we all had such a great time making animals out of clay. The teacher Irena is really informative and friendly, we loved her dry sense of humour! There are also two cute kitties at the studio who was also a big hit. Would highly recommend this class and cant wait to pick up our creations.

Julia Schneemann • Attended Apr 2026

Cathryn Lu • Attended Mar 2026

Body-Positive Pottery Class: Sculpt Your Own Mug

Irina is a highly skilled artist and excellent teacher who is passionate about sharing her knowledge. Although I had never worked with clay before, I actually left with a sculpture that I love - and it even resembles my sculpting mate! We enjoyed our workshop and I'm keen to continue working with clay. I've done many crafty workshops and rarely leave with a think I want to keep. I can highly recommend Irina's workshops, and will definitely book in for more when I'm next in Sydney.

Leigh Withers • Attended Mar 2026

Great class and a perfect birthday gift for my daughter! Irina, our teacher, was very patient and extremely helpful, guiding us and making the experience fun! Looking forward to seeing the end products when they have been fired.

Kee-Win Fam • Attended Mar 2026

We had such a great time making a sculpture of each other. Irina is a really good teacher and takes the time to show you techniques as well as guide you towards making something that you actually want to continue on after the class. Best to book a small group as the time for one-on-one teaching was invaluable.

Sally Matthews • Attended Mar 2026

Great class, fun, creative and wonderful tuition.

Andrea Nguyen • Attended Mar 2026

Irina was an amazing clay teacher! She was friendly, funny and patient. We went to this sculpture making class for a friend’s hen and it was so much fun! We would love to come back to Irina’s class again and also to see her beautiful kitties again! Thank you so much Irina for making the night so special! Xx

Brooke O’Connell • Attended Mar 2026

Instructor was extremely helpful during our class. Was a very fun activity as a birthday gift.

Alayna Wu Gokcimen • Attended Mar 2026

We had an excellent time! It was surprisingly intuitive, and fairly easy to follow along. Very warm and relaxing atmosphere in the class, and feels intimate without being uncomfortable. The cats were super cute too!

Neil McDermott • Attended Mar 2026

Great fun and a great instructor - recommended!

Great teacher and a lot of fun. Wouldn't have thought we could get a likeness in such a short time. An enjoyable day

Valerie Dobrelya • Attended Jan 2026

Really enjoyed the class, Irina is a great and knowledgeable teacher and skilled sculptor. She spent a lot of time demonstrating and explaining the techniques and helped us make accurate sculptures of our pets. It was easy to follow even as a beginner.

Bella Stone • Attended Feb 2026

Great class to learn how to make real life like figures
