Hands-On Holds: Climber's Clay Workshop

Calling all climbers and route setter enthusiasts! Create your very own climbing mug!



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       $99 (Afterpay available)

We've teamed up with Nomad Bouldering Gym (Annandale) to bring you a unique workshop that blends climbing and ceramics! In this hands-on session, you’ll start with a hand-thrown tumbler by Airr Made Ceramics and sculpt your own climbing holds to attach to it—creating a functional piece inspired by your love for the sport.
Set within Nomad Bouldering Gym, you'll be surrounded by climbs to spark inspiration as you shape and personalise your piece. Our expert instructors will guide you through:
Pinching & Slab Techniques – Learn how to craft climbing-inspired holds from clay
Attachment Methods – Secure your holds to the mug using handbuilding techniques
Personalisation – Paint and customise your piece to reflect your climbing style
Whether you're a seasoned climber or new to the sport, this workshop is a fun way to bring your passion to life—one hold at a time. Come get creative, connect with fellow climbers, and craft a mug that’s as unique as your grip!

  • ONE fired & glazed piece is available with the ticket price, additional pieces are available for $10 and postage options are available (cost is calculated depending on location and number of pieces).
