Hi My name is Emi. I’ve been involved in pottery for over 15 years and running this studio for 12 years.
At Ceramic Studio En, I create the perfect tableware for restaurants and cafes. My tableware has been selected by a number of Sydney restaurants since 2007.
Here at the studio, everything is made individually with care and passion. I take pride in my craftmanship and ready to cater for your need and imagination.
I would like to share the knowledge and experience of making tableware with you in the class. This is your perfect opportunity to create and add a unique touch to your table at home! Or it could be a unique gift that’s only one in the world for someone special.

I feel this class just leave people to explore with minimal help or guidance from the teacher. I don't really like how the class is run with several people at different stages of pottery class. I like to have more detailed step by step instruction rather than just being shown once and the teacher disappeared to attend to other people.
Also we have to spend a lot of time searching for pottery we made, and large pottery are placed in an insecure way which can easily get broken. I have also not received any confirmation that the pottery I made are ready to be picked up. Can these be mailed to me?
In general I did not find the class very inspiring or really learned something substantial. I would rather just spend a lot of time making a good product rather than lots of not so great products.

Sensei was super super nice She listened to our questions and had very clear instructions. We (short term first day class) made plates and bowls of different shapes and sizes from moulds, and smoothed them/patterned them. The room had fresh air and an authentic feel to it, and a very casual atmosphere. Looking forward to the next class
