Looking for fun things to do in Bondi? In this class, family groups of any configuration - grandparents, parents, children or grandchildren can share the studio space and experience making with clay.
In family groups of up to eight people (where there is at least 1 participating and engaged adult to 4 kids) you will enjoy making and learning together in a guided and relaxed class.
You will use hand forming techniques to make a variety of pieces using coiling, slab and pinching techniques. You will be free to follow the teacher's demo instructions, take inspiration from sample pieces on display, and follow your imagination or a mixture of all of the above!
You can make the session an experience only - we’ll take a photo to capture the moment or for an additional $15 we’ll glaze and fire your favourite piece ready to collect in 6 -8 weeks.
Another option as a follow-on to this session is to join our decorating and finishing class and learn how to add colour to finish your piece.
Please note: This class does not involve learning how to make on the potter’s wheel.

Located at iconic Bondi Beach, Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio nurtures creativity, wellbeing and community through clay.
The Studio is run by Agatha Pupaher and Leanne Berelowitz in partnership with Waverley Council. Agatha co-founded and currently manages Sydney Clay Studio, a creative space and kiln firing service in St Peters. Agatha is a ceramic artist and educator who is passionate about sharing her love of clay. Leanne has a BFA in ceramics and glass from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and a Master of Cross-disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW Art and Design, Sydney. She has been teaching ceramics for 15 years. Both Leanne and Agatha are practising ceramic artists who exhibit their work in group and collaborative exhibitions. In addition, they have both worked in former careers; Agatha, as a child and family psychologist, and Leanne, as a registered nurse. They value each other’s transferable skills and expertise in working with people of all ages, and draw on them for their art teaching.
Agatha and Leanne value deep learning and making, and aim to help students create space to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. Hands, head and heart working together to bring ideas to life. They teach the classes along with a small team of passionate tutors and ceramic artists who share a similar slow approach to creating/working with clay. While pottery/ceramics is about making things, their teaching approach is to initially fixate less on the outcome, and focus on building skills and developing techniques through creative exploration.
