Completed and Looking Amazing

The finished piece


Step into the creative heart of Fremantle and design your very own one-of-a-kind mug.
Whether you're looking for a fun way to connect with friends, celebrating a hens' party or birthday, or simply coming on your own to meet like-minded people, this workshop is a relaxed few hours in a professional potter's studio.
Guided by Sally, you'll learn the art of hand-building with clay slabs to craft a unique mug that's microwave and dishwasher-safe — as functional as it is beautiful. It's all about creating and chatting in an inspiring setting.
Your ticket includes expert guidance, all materials, glazing and firing. Planning a large group booking? We've got space for your crew.
There's ample free parking right by the studio.
Good to know
  • Your 1-2 handcrafted pieces are bisque and glaze fired for strength and a lasting finish.
  • Please allow 6-8 weeks for your pottery to be glazed, fired and ready. We'll be in touch as soon as it's out of the kiln, and we'd appreciate collection within 3-4 weeks of that — we run out of shelf space quickly, and after 4 weeks we may have to donate uncollected pieces.
  • Ceramics can be unpredictable. Even after nearly 40 years of working with clay, I still lose the occasional piece to the kiln gods. It's part of the magic (and mystery) of the craft.

With over 30 years of pottery experience, a formal education in Art & Design, and a major in Studio Ceramics, I’ve traversed many creative paths, but clay has always been my true passion. My journey has included hunting, digging, studying, and mastering new skills, with pottery teaching me the virtues of patience and the beauty of imperfection.
From my studio in Fremantle, Western Australia, I create unique pieces that embody emotional authenticity, prioritizing essential beauty over conventional perfection. I am deeply passionate about sharing my love of making through teaching. I aim to provide an authentic experience where students feel comfortable exploring their own creativity. My workshops and private classes cater to all skill levels, inviting you to discover and express yourself in the captivating world of pottery.
