Step 5 Paint Your Creation with Under Glaze Paint

I know right. We have previously never offered this option painting on un-kilned clay. However it is a short cut, however we still have to kiln fire the piece twice. We will then coat in Glaze for you service, so we can put it through for a glazed finish for pickup in 4 weeks guaranteed.


Looking for a fun activity to try in Brisbane? Join our pottery class at Wesley Taylor Art Studios!
In this beginner-friendly workshop and art class, you'll learn the ins and outs of hand building clay while you sip on your favourite beverage.
During the class, you'll have the opportunity to hand build a beautiful coil mug using earthenware clay. This mug will then be fired in the kiln, we will apply the glaze to your creation. It will then go through a second kiln firing for the perfect glaze finish.
Our professional pottery studio provides all the materials you need to create your unique masterpiece. You'll learn basic skills like hatching, shaping forms, and sticking materials together. Our experienced artist will guide you through the process with a demo and offer one-on-one assistance as needed. By the end of the class, you'll have some amazing pieces to take home and display with pride.
What makes our class special is that we provide the full service experience. The cost of the class includes all the necessary materials, as well as our kiln firing services. You will paint the mug with under glaze paints in the same class, so then it is simply the process of picking up the finished glazed piece in 4 weeks.
We now offer to paint the piece in the one session, or can split it over the two sessions if preferred. However it is a short cut, however we still have to kiln fire the piece twice. We will then coat in Glaze for you service, so we can put it through for a glazed finish for pickup in 4 weeks guaranteed.

Please note minimum numbers of 7 people to run for most sessions, however we can do smaller sized groups when I am running the sessions myself, cheers

Providing social art classes in beautiful South Brisbane

I'm a Brisbane-based artist, and I've been painting and drawing since my early childhood days. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Queensland Art Gallery, which gave me ample opportunity to pursue my passion and hone my skills.
I'm very much inspired by the beauty and diversity of Australia. Many of my paintings focus on landscapes, surrealism, animals, and people. North Queensland is a particular favorite, and you'll see the influence of coral seas and mountain landscapes throughout my artwork. I have a post-impressionist style through which I try to capture the wonder of the world around us.
I specialize in pastel on card and acrylic on canvas, though I'm also experimenting with abstract and airbrush.
I've been fortunate enough to display my work in many art exhibitions and have been the recipient of many prizes and awards.
I offer Paint and Sip sessions along with Clay and Sip sessions, both at discounted rates for ClassBento Patrons. I believe in bringing these experiences to the customer at the very best competitive price possible, the real Australian Way. We have the largest range of paintings available with over 80 paintings on the gallery page of Wesley Taylor Art Studios, with the painting for each week found on the web page.
We hope you enjoy these sessions for a fun experience. The paintings are creative for maximum impact of colors, while keeping in mind first-time painting experiences. Those with a little more practice will create some amazing pieces.
Let us plan your special events!
“Everyone has an artistic flair and simply needs to be pointed in the right direction."
The Wesley Taylor Art Studios Mission initially set out to create workshops at half the cost of other workshops for customers to be able to enjoy the experience of creating a piece of artwork. This endeavor was to create the foundation of employing artists with a like-minded sense of assisting customers to enjoy this time out while creating new art experiences. The goals of value for money for customers and employment for artists to run these fun activities that may mark a milestone, a birthday, a hen's party, a social activity, a first date, or company team-building events to build and strengthen relationships with a common bond of creating something new. Each dandelion in the field represents a thousand possibilities waiting to be released into the wind. Just relax and be free with the wind.
