The class will cover the following:

- Why and how clay is prepared before throwing
- Throwing techniques including centering, opening and raising.
- Throwing different types of shapes. You will make three pieces including a cup and bowls.
You'll also get to choose the glaze colour for each of the pieces you make which will then be fired. You'll then be informed when the pieces are ready for pick-up (alternatively shipping can be arranged for an additional fee).
This class is regularly scheduled on weekends at 1:00 pm via the Book option. If you would like to book on a weekday, please use the ‘Request Private Class’ button, under the Booking Options section

Awesome class with a lovely teacher.
Having just 4 in the class means you each get individualised help.
We all successfully made 3 bowls which we can actually use
Our group had a mix of pottery virgins and those that had a bit of experience

Marion provided a great venue and supplied everything required for the class. Thank you to Jane who is a terrific teacher. Her vivaciousness, energy and passion for pottery was contagious. My 14 year old son and I had such a wonderful afternoon. I loved that we made bowls and cups to keep. It was a great opportunity to do something different and learn new skills. Most importantly I could share the moment with my son and we had fun together.
Pamela Hagopian • Aug 2022
Attended with my husband introduction to pottery wheel throwing class.
Sonya was amazing at the way she demonstrated each technique. She made it look so easy! Very jealous about that, however she was so very patient which was appreciated.
The equipment provided and materials were of good quality and what we ended up producing were rather unique and personalised pieces.
It was also a very intimate class which made it super fun.
Highly recommend this class.

My husband and I visited today for a beginners throwing class. We had never thrown before but managed to make 3 lovely pieces each with the fantastic guidance and assistance from our teacher T. We can’t wait to go back and learn more - what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. We highly recommend!

Susan Edmonds • Mar 2019
Really fun class, this was the first time I had ever 'thrown' clay and Marion was really helpful, easy-going, instructive and generally a great teacher to have. She was very happy to show us the pieces she had made as well and tell us their story. It's a great location for a full day out, the Royal National Park is a beautiful setting for this little village of Bundeena and it's easy to take time to go for a hike or appreciate the views on the way. We're really excited to see our finished pieces and have already recommended this workshop to friends.

My husband and I enjoyed the pottery class . We had done the class for the first time. I am very glad that I did the class as I was always fascinated by how a pot is made.
Annalisa Gardiner • Jan 2019
This was such a fun afternoon of mindfulness and learning! Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn more about the art of pottery wheel throwing. The location is also beautiful, so get there early and go for lunch
Stefanie Strudwick • Jan 2019
Marion is a fantastic teacher! From not having any experience in wheel throwing, we managed to whip up 3 pieces in such a short time with her guidance. A really enjoyable class in a beautiful location. Thank you Marion!
Hla Thi • Jan 2019
Marion made the workshop fun and enjoyable. After workshop, went out for a walk to the wedding cake rock. Bundeena is a bear place to spend the short vacation.
Andrew Cable • Jan 2019
This class was great! Teacher was lovely, and the small class with a wheel each made the lesson really worthwhile.
Elicia Varley • Jan 2019
We really enjoyed our lesson, this was the first time we had tried using clay on a pottery wheel and had a really good time and made three pieces each.
Melissa Chhoeu • Jan 2019
Mary explained the throwing technique well and was very helpful throughout the class. It was challenging at first but the atmosphere was relaxed and we had a great time using the pottery wheel to make 3 pieces! I can't wait to use them after they've been fired and glazed.
Jessica Liao • Jan 2019
Two other friends and I booked a class, not really knowing how difficult it would be but it was so enjoyable for all of us. We made three things and learnt a lot in terms of techniques too. Our teacher was extremely friendly and helpful in guiding us. Overall a wonderful introduction to pottery. For a bonus, Bundeena is a beautiful place too! Definitely worth making the trip down. Would definitely recommend to a friend!
Milan Venter • Jan 2019
My partner booked this for us to do together as a Christmas gift and we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience. All materials were provided and teacher demonstrated what we were doing and then was there to guide and help when needed. We made 3 different pieces each which I can’t wait to collect soon ! Would highly recommend as a gift or if you’re wanting to just try something new.
Barbara Pozoglou • Jan 2019
This class was a fantastic way to spend a few hours - great value for money as you get to make 3 pieces that you can keep from the class. The environment was very casual, fun and not at all intimidating, a great atmosphere to learn pottery. All the materials used were of high quality.

Andrew Wesley • Oct 2018
Mary was more that welcoming and patient with the class.
Would recommend this to anyone whether you're into it or not. The whole experience is fun, entertaining and you walk away with something you have made from a ball of clay.
Cathy Hindle • Oct 2018
Easy to find. Don’t need a thing, you simply turn up. The teacher was clear and demonstrated each step. I started knowing nothing and then before long I was shaping my bowl and seeing it take shape . Can’t wait to see it glazed. Worth doing !
Sarah Brandon • Sep 2018
The class was fantastic. We learned the basics and made three different pieces that will be fired and glazed for us.

Marion was a great instructor. The class was very hands on and practical. Marion helped us at every single step to make sure we both left with successful products. She was engaging and funny. She was very patient too. Overall, the class is great! Highly recommended. The only one is that we still haven’t been contacted on when we will receive our products by the post.:(
