Mennt is a design studio operating out of a small Sydney studio. Mennt’s products are designed and made by Laura Butler with creative direction from her partner Aman Braich.

Mennt has an uncompromising focus on high quality materials. We believe in creating products that will last a lifetime with continual love and use.

We believe that high quality design should be available to everyone, not just the 1%. In order to create a more affordable product, we reimagined our entire approach to create a more productive and streamlined process.

Mennt is minimalist in its approach to design; we strip our products down to only the necessary elements and focus on the rituals of everyday life.

Mennt is designed with longevity in mind. Our clay is sourced sustainably from Victoria and we recycle as part of our daily practice in the studio. We design and create refined objects that will not only last a lifetime, but will polish with age.

Such an amazing experience. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Laura was an absolute gem - so lovely and chatty and very helpful through the process. She even greeted us with Mimosas which was a nice surprise. We got to paint two gorgeous cups to our liking which Laura will mail to us in a few weeks. Can’t wait to see the final results!

Wonderful experience, far superior to other ‘glaze and sip’ experiences I’ve done. There was feedback and support, ideas given when needed, and technical know-how provided! Really appreciated our experience!

Surprised my wife with this class for our 18 wedding anniversary (which is traditionally a porcelain gift).
The class was fun with more than enough equipment and porcelain to make several different items each.
The instructions were easy to follow and a couple of different techniques taught in a creative environment.
The food and drinks were a nice touch on-top of the class

Roslyn Isles Mar 2024


What a fun morning. Lovely teacher. Well prepared and hospitable. Met lovely classmates. Highly recommend it.

Rebecca Reid Feb 2024


I booked for my sister’s hens party, it was a really fun day, I think all the girls, and most importantly my sister, had a great time. The cost is very reasonable, especially in comparison to other similar pottery type classes :) If I l actually lived in Sydney I’d be back!

Marla Feb 2024


It was a fun day. The teacher gave great tips and was very approachable. The studio was nice and relaxing & there were good vibes all round so would defs recommend it!

This class was very relaxing. I was able to be creative. The teacher was nice and helpful and generous. She gave us champagne cocktails and snacks which was such a nice surprise. The venue was comfortable and she provided an accommodative chair for me.
Thank you for the lovely experience.

This class was probably one of the best experiences that I’ve ever had we booked this class as a birthday surprise for my best friend and she loved it. The teacher Laura is so kind and so bubbly she makes you feel welcomed and really assists in helping you actualise your goals. Highly recommend for a day date or a girl date

Alexis Pogonowski Sep 2023


We had an amazing time at Laura’s workshop. It was so much fun to be able to design and paint our own mugs and having Laura’s guidance and encouragement was wonderful. I would totally recommend this class for any occasion - a ‘just because’, a birthday celebration with friends, a hens event or a special anniversary. 10/10 would recommend.

So much information! Can’t wait to start the journey. Teacher was so helpful and informative. A must do class.

Myat Binet Aug 2023


Laura was a great teacher and gave very clear instructions. The class was set up really well with all the necessary materials. I found making a shape to cast the mould quite difficult and would have been nice to have some premade shapes to make the mould.

Amazing class and including a very special tour of Mennt’s workshop/studio showcasing how they make their beautiful, minimalistic porcelain pieces. Laura was a great host and my partner and I really enjoyed learning about all the hand building techniques from a true artisan. Probably the best ceramic workshop to attend in Sydney!

Sandra Wei Jun 2023


We had a wonderful time at Laura’s workshop and are now addicted to clay! Can’t wait to see how the pieces turned out once fired.
Laura is absolutely pleasant to be around and so generous with sharing her knowledge. Highly recommend the workshop, it’s such a lovely activity to do with friends and family.

Laura was really lovely and encouraging. I found it refreshing for everyone to be able to explore their own different styles and come up with unique artworks. Thanks Laura, it was a lovely afternoon.

The best experience ever - Lauren took us to tour her studio and explained the process of creating her beautiful pieces before we started painting them. Thank you for the incredible experience today and for being so patient with us going over time ☺️ I can’t wait to receive them and will definitely be back!

Natalie Lamont May 2023


The glaze your own cups class run by Laura was an absolute treat and a perfect gift for mother's Day. Laura was incredibly flexible in accommodating my sister and her 3 month old, making the experience so warm and friendly. The class itself was a lot of fun and it was so great to do something with my hands. The class was only small so it really was a relaxing experience. The studio itself was easy to get to and very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend as a gift or just as a girls afternoon.

We had such a fun afternoon painting porcelain cups! The class was super relaxed with lots of beautiful underglaze colours to choose from and plenty of inspiration to draw from on the table. Also loved the addition of bubbles and nibbles to enjoy during the class. Laura was super friendly and gave us plenty of tips, as well as a little tour around her studio and some insight into the process of ceramics. Plus, her porcelain cups we painted on are divine! Shipping of the ceramics once fired was also included in the class which was super convenient. Would highly recommend!

Laura is a terrific, engaging and encouraging teacher! Very patient and knowledgeable and inspired us to come up with our own designs and ideas. The space was excellent, lots of light and mimosa's and cheese platter are an excellent ice breaker for those of us who came as solo attendees. Plenty of time to complete 2 or 3 pieces, and you could see the confidence grow as the class went on which was so much fun. The time flew past - lots of laughs and smiles all around the group. Definitely recommend this to anyone to try. I can't wait to see the final glazed pieces!

Pottery class review by Nikki Ferguson - Sydney

Amanda Tansi Oct 2022


Such a fun and creative day. Our teacher Laura was very warm, welcoming, and encouraging to all the people in the class. We were greeted with mimosas and a cheese platter which was a lovely touch. You learnt multiple techniques and then everyone got to make around 3-5 pieces each of whatever design they wanted. A great activity to do with a group of friends. We can’t wait for our pieces to be delivered! Thanks again for a great experience.

Clare Neilson Sep 2022


Such a great class. Laura was an excellent teacher. We tried a few different techniques and everyone went away having made a few pieces they loved & would get some use out of. Highly recommend if you have some friends & want to have some hands-on bonding time.

Thank you, Laura

What an amazing morning to celebrate Mother’s Day.

Laura was so welcoming when we arrived. She had a delightful platter filled with treats as well as champagne and orange juice.

Facilities were great, apron and tools provided were excellent to use.

Definitely value for money with the amount of pieces we were able to make.

Laura was a great teacher, clear and patient with us all. Couldn’t recommend her workshop enough. Thanks Laura!

Jessica McDermid Apr 2022


Absolutely lovely class, very relaxed atmosphere and wonderful guidance / techniques from Laura. Wide variety of tools available to use for shaping the clay, a great activity to do either alone or in a group!

Gwendolyn Vujnovich Apr 2022


What a great workshop! Laura is so welcoming and encouraging. She takes cues from the group and isn’t rigid with her teaching. For example she taught a method for making tall vases but said it isn’t the only way that it could be done and showed another way. Conversely, I was more interested in creating from a slab and she covered that with me before teaching the rest of the class. She is also very generous with the clay. Some other workshops I’ve been to only give you a small amount but she gave more to students who wanted to created slightly bigger pieces. An absolutely enjoyable experience. I will be back with more ideas

This class was even better than I expected- Laura was patient and happy to help with all of our questions. She was also very generous with the porcelain clay, encouraging us to use as much as we wanted to complete our pieces. I enjoyed it so much I think I will be back to do another class with my daughter. The delicious cheese platter and mimosas were an added bonus!

Teacher was lovely.

Desiree Conceicao Dec 2021


We booked this for a team event, and everyone absolutely loved it. The drinks and food were such a nice touch, and the location was beautiful - but Laura's instruction and help were really what made it. She encouraged us to try all the strange ideas we had, and we had such a ball trying (and occasionally failing) to make vases, soap holders, candle holders, etc. I would absolutely do this again.

Jessica Mackenzie Nov 2021


The teacher, Laura, was lovely and provided great guidance to ensure we could all make wonderful clay works. The set up was great and sufficient clay and tools were provided. The champagne, orange juice and brownies were a nice addition!

Highly recommend. Laura, the instructor was great - she was really welcoming, enthusiastic and was flexible with what we wanted to do with our pieces and how we used the time. I really liked the smaller groups (we had 6 due to covid limits). The morning tea and juice provided were a lovely touch.

The work space was great, very urban and artsy - just the backdrop for the porcelain workshop. Can't wait to pick up the pieces I made.

The class was fantastic. Laura is a welcoming, knowledgeable teacher who explains techniques clearly and creates a hospitable environment where questions are encouraged. The balance between structure and freedom is perfect: students with more experience with ceramics can explore their own ideas while beginners are well-supported. I would wholeheartedly recommend the class.

Nathania Alice Sep 2020


Love it!
Laura was very engaging and kind. I'm not sure if everyone knows each other, but it was not the case for me, I came alone. Throughout the lesson, Laura would ease the atmosphere and have a conversation with everyone, the class ended up having a very fun conversation and laughter. She also provides water, mimosa and cheese platter :)))))
The venue is beautifully decorated (she arranged flowers). It is also spacious and brings, there's natural sunlight too. Overall, the place makes you relax and enjoy what you are doing!
I think it's a good value of money, we don't need to prepare anything, everything is provided. We were thought three techniques, she also demonstrates them. Since the class is small, you can ask the teacher techniques without worrying you're taking too much time.
And if you're worried about COVID, don't worry, everyone was asked to come with a mask.

Great sat afternoon class. Lovely teacher and class was well presented, relaxed. Nice small class size with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

This class is perfect for beginners and shy people like me. The fact that we were a small number made the workshop more engaging. Laura is very knowledgeable and friendly, she let us explore with our chosen techniques but was always here to assist with anything we were not too sure with. Definitely a great way to unwind on a weekend and explore new skills. I hope for a part 2 workshop to delve deeper into each technique or learn about glazing and firing

Easy to follow especially for someone who has zero clue about porcelain like me. I bought this class for my sister’s birthday and she loves it.

Laura was a great teacher. She is so calm and patient and this created such a peaceful class. She gave clear, easy instructions and then we were able to work at our own pace and create the pieces we wanted. I would definitely do another class with Laura.
