Looking for relaxing things to do in Melbourne? Experience mindfulness on the pottery wheel at Heer Pottery in Box Hill South.This is a hands-on experience, but it's mostly self-guided. You'll have free time to get familiar with the wheel and experiment with different techniques, working at your own pace.How the two hours run
First 30 minutes: your teacher introduces you to the wheel, sets you up and gives you tutorial cards to guide you.
Next hour: self-guided clay time. Let your creativity flow and shape your pieces. Your teacher stays nearby to keep things supportive and unobtrusive, so ask away if a question comes up.
Last 20 minutes: your teacher helps you take your pieces off the wheel, and we tidy the workspace together.
You'll take every piece home the same day.Please note: this class does not include glazing or firing. Your creations will air-dry beautifully and make lovely decorative dishes for watches, keys or jewellery.
