Kids Decorating and Finishing Class

Follow-on class to decorate and refine pieces made during any of our one-off classes



5+ years & Adults     1 hour Class size 4 to 10 guests       $35 (PayPal Pay in 4 available)

At the end of a one-off class, the clay is still soft and needs to dry to a point where it is strong enough to be handled without distorting (this stage of clay is called leatherhard). In this follow-on class from any of our one-off classes, you’ll have the opportunity to work on pieces from a previous one-off class when they have hardened a little to the leatherhard stage. You will learn how to smooth out edges, repair cracks, and add colours or textures to bring your pottery to life. Our friendly teachers will help you every step of the way.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have gained new skills in pottery decoration and will have a beautifully decorated piece to take home. You can choose to take it home on the day or leave it to be fired for an additional $15.
What you'll get
  • Hands-on experience of decorating and refining pottery at leatherhard stage.
  • Your pottery creation to take home.

Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio

5.0 (370)

Located at iconic Bondi Beach, Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio nurtures creativity, wellbeing and community through clay.
The Studio is run by Agatha Pupaher and Leanne Berelowitz in partnership with Waverley Council. Agatha co-founded and managed Sydney Clay Studio, a creative space and kiln firing service in St Peters from 2017-2024. Agatha is a ceramic artist and educator who is passionate about sharing her love of clay. Leanne has a BFA in ceramics and glass from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and a Master of Cross-disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW Art and Design, Sydney. She has been teaching ceramics for 15 years. Both Leanne and Agatha are practising ceramic artists who exhibit their work in group and collaborative exhibitions. In addition, they have both worked in former careers; Agatha, as a child and family psychologist, and Leanne, as a registered nurse. They value each other’s transferable skills and expertise in working with people of all ages, and draw on them for their art teaching.
Agatha and Leanne value deep learning and making, and aim to help students create space to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. Hands, head and heart working together to bring ideas to life. They teach the classes along with a small team of passionate tutors and ceramic artists who share a similar slow approach to creating/working with clay. While pottery/ceramics is about making things, their teaching approach is to initially fixate less on the outcome, and focus on building skills and developing techniques through creative exploration.
