Designed for returning students, this casual class focuses on creating handbuilt ceramics, including techniques such as slab rolling, coiling, and sculpture.
Our experienced teachers will help you continue developing your pottery skills in this casual class for ongoing students. We do not operate on a fixed-term schedule. Casual classes are completely flexible. Attend classes as often as you like, on any day you wish! Enjoy the relaxed and social atmosphere of our studio alongside other students at a range of levels, from beginners to potters with many years of experience.
First-time students will be encouraged to book in for a Handbuilding Beginners Taster class to introduce them to the wonderful world of handbuilt ceramics.
Please note: this is a class designed for adults, and we do not allow bookings for children under the age of 16.
This class does not include access to the pottery wheel.
Returning students must provide their own clay and tools, and firing is additional, charged at $10 per kilo.

We have set up our studio to bring together pottery and ceramics in a combined space and to be an affordable, fun place where anyone can come and enjoy creating with clay. Our studio is a place where there are very few rules except to respect your fellow artists, their work, and the studio, to relax and learn that there is no end to the possibilities when working with clay.
At SaJo Ceramics you can...
Join a casual pottery class or social pottery & ceramics session; take a workshop to have a go at the pottery wheel, take one of our 6-week courses to learn the basics of throwing, or just use our Melbourne studio facilities on a casual basis. Discover beautiful stoneware handmade tiles for a unique splashback or outdoor wall feature or make your own! Explore a huge catalogue of ceramic pieces to paint in both acrylic paints and fired finishes, made to order from vintage and modern bisque designs. Buy handmade tile blanks for your school or community project, ready for you to paint, carve, or decorate, or just drop in and chat with fellow artists while enjoying a cuppa.
