Work Ready for Collection

We fire and finish the work with a clear glaze ready of pick up about 2 weeks later.


In this engaging kids' school holiday class, children will learn the art of working with clay and explore their creativity by crafting their own imaginative projects. Over two days, young participants will have the opportunity to create anything they can envision using clay (sculptural and/or functional).
Kids will experience the making process, which includes building, forming, decorating, and under-glazing. (We will apply the final clear glaze after the first firing.) They will also gain insight into the firing process, understanding how heat transforms clay and colours in the kiln. It's a balance of fun and education, with a touch of magic as their creations come to life.
Participants will be able to use unlimited clay and make as much as they like, selecting a few pieces for firing so they can take home their favourite creations. Parents are welcome to join for a fee of $40, including clay and firing costs. Remember to pack a snack, wear old clothes, bring a water bottle, and consider an apron and towel for the activities.
Led by experienced teachers with Working with Children Checks, this hands-on class promises a memorable and enriching experience for beginners in the world of clay. You'll walk away with newfound skills, pride in what you've made, and a few fired pieces to display proudly at home. It's a great, fun learning experience for kids to explore the delights of working with clay.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 6 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.
