The venue is great, worth every cent!

Excellent class and lovely teacher. My teenage daughter and her 6 friends really enjoyed the glazing class as a birthday activity and all said they would love to come back. The teacher was brilliant and helpful. Cool place.

So warm and welcoming and very happy to help This is a great class as it’s not too heavy on the instructions if that’s what you prefer!

Such a lovely experience for my mental health! Great music and the teacher, Georgina, did an amazing job at explaining the process!

Our teacher Renee was so lovely and clear with instructions! We had all the tools we needed and I loved that it was part of a store. We had a private section to focus on our work and afterward we strolled around the store. Learnt a lot about the process of painting and glazing and how colors can change in the end product. Had lots of fun overall and totes worth the experience! 4 stars cos I didn’t know we have to come back to pick up our finished product and I don’t live super close! But overall good experience

Everything was taught very well in a friendly manner and the staff were very accommodating which made the experience very enjoyable.
They also had the perfect balance of being there and helping out while also giving us our own time to enjoy.

It was really enjoyable and our teacher was very sweet and helpful. The freedom to have something to drink and nibble on was lovely :)

A great activity to do alone or with a friend. Location of the glazing area was cosy and had lots of inspiration around the shop. The teacher was very friendly and helpful in explaining everything we needed to know, and setting up materials. Would definitely recommend this to someone, or even do it again!

Stephene Netto May 2023


A a lot of fun and Renee was great! Would definitely do this again and recommend this as a group activity with other friends as well.

Loved the experience! Cute place and felt intimate considering it was inside a shopping centre (Marrickville Metro)! We painted a small bowl and a planter - and was so relaxing

The overall experience was so fun! We were left to our own devices after a short introduction to painting the pottery. 10/10 would recommend :)

Georgina was amazing and very calm and patient with us. We went for a birthday activity and it was really fun. Everything was well explained and we made some pots

I loved the glaze and sip class. There was an adequate selection of ceramics you could choose one of to paint. Our teacher gave pretty solid and simple instructions and popped around throughout to make sure we didn’t have any issues. Otherwise, had a lovely time just spending the time with my friends and doing our own designs and painting our drawings. Would do the class again!

Kyle Drury Mar 2023


The class was fantastic. We went for my girlfriends birthday and she had the best time. The teacher was great at explaining and helping along the process and we ended up with some lovely pieces. Would highly recommend this for couples and beginners to let your creative side flow.

Robbie Cameron Mar 2023


Had a great first clay experience with a great teacher. We went from completely useless to making a couple decent cups and bowls. Would recommend!

Very fun! Glasses were provided. Teacher gave a brief clear overview and left us to it. Was very relaxing and had a lot of nice colours. Near shops, liquor, toilets

The class was set inside a lovely store in a artistic mall and we all had a nice walk from St Peters Station to there. The teacher and owner of the store was wonderful and patient throughout the whole experience as we painted on the ceramic pieces at our own pace (we were reminded of our scheduled time, though). We were also given a choice to choose either a already made mug or planter-pot ceramic piece to paint on (this was a 'Glaze and Sip Ceramic' Class btw) The teacher mentioned that we can explore and bring food/drink from the stores around the mall and come back as we want. Would not recommend following google maps as there was construction blocking a safe route, just follow the footpath towards the traffic lights. Although l kind of hoped to see the firing process and would like a bit more time to paint neatly, it was a really relaxing experience to share with loved ones.
By far my favourite pottery class to come to, would recommend to go when wanting a relaxing special day with loved ones.

Fun quality time with friends and a great way to relax and detach from the world outside.

I wasn’t expecting it to be a painting a mug class, I wanted to paint a pot but they didn’t have that available unfortunately even though advertisement said you could choose between a mug or a pot.

So much fun to do with the husband . I can’t wait to get my mug back!

Emma Barrett Feb 2023


The teacher was informative and clear with instruction, making the class really enjoyable!
Location was convenient and well set out, we had the class room to ourselves which made for a really private experience.
Highly recommend this class for a great way to learn and be creative with pottery glazing.

I am a carer and my young person with a disability really enjoyed the class. The studio is located behind a sheer curtain of a beautiful gift shop so while we were waiting for the class to start, it was lovely to be able to browse.

The teacher (Renae) was welcoming and clear in her instructions. The materials and paints were all set up and ready. The space was comfortable and bright.

We were able to work at a leisurely, unhurried pace with Renae just popping in from time to time to check in. I also really appreciated that we were allowed to stay for an extra half hour to complete the piece.

With help, my young person was able to glaze and entire mug and we’re so excited to collect the finished piece in 2-4 weeks.

Free parking, proximity to toilets and having a ton of great food places in the same shopping center made the day stress free and extremely enjoyable. Highly recommend and I’ll be back with my own friends to paint some plant pots

Had an amazing experience . Our teacher Georgina was very patient and very thorough in explaining things to us and made our experience enjoyable. Our clean up easy as Georgina did most of it. In other wheel pottery venues we’ve had to do most of the cleanup. Everything we needed was there. We were not rushed and felt we’d achieved something. The venue was very cool and easy to find.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience that we want to come back again!

I absolutely loved the Ink Art Workshop & highly recommend it. Belinda was lovely, patient & a fantastic teacher. She demonstrated all the techniques so well. The workshop was held in a quirky little shop called Hypmotive Hub where artists sell their original handmade arts & crafts. I’m so happy I did this workshop & I came away with 5 completed artworks. I think I just found my new hobby.

Enjoyable Sunday afternoon with bubbles, strawberries and a gentle and lovely teacher. Achievable project to create something beautiful, even for novice creatives.

Excellent class and I highly recommend this class and the truly lovely, happy and rather gentle and creative teacher. xoxoxo

This class was really fun. The location is great, the store downstairs is gorgeous and nice to checkout before class begins. Our teacher was friendly and helpful and the outcome was great. We got to leave with a completely plant hanger - including the pot and the plant! Ready to hang at home :)
