- 5/5 from Davina Crawford, attended Feb 2026: I’ve wanted to do luminaries for a while so I booked a two hour lesson to make sure I did it correctly. I managed to be 40 mins late so everyone else was well underway when I finally got there. The instructor was very understanding and offered to stay back after class to ensure I was able to complete both items. I really appreciated this, as she wasn’t obliged to do so I’m sure - so thank you! I’m not happy with my work, but that’s my problem - I was so running on adrenaline by then that I rushed through everything and ended up finishing only a few minutes after everyone else. The instruction was good and clear, and the instructor both knowledgeable and helpful.
Your teacher
I’m Melissa, a potter and English teacher based in Brighton on the northern bayside of Brisbane. I've been more seriously doing pottery for about six years after taking a class in wheel throwing. Working with clay is addictive, good for personal well-being, and achievable — and that’s why I keep coming back to it.I now work from my home studio, where I enjoy both hand-building and wheel throwing objects that I mostly gift to family and friends. I'm a member of my local community studio, which allows me to learn from other potters. I now fire at home with my own kiln and mix many of my own glazes.Alongside making, I've taught high school English and Arts for about ten years. My workshops are calm, encouraging, and thoughtfully structured — and I cater mostly for beginners.I'm fairly confident that after a class or two, you may catch the very contagious pottery bug, and I hope you do.
