Recent reviews of Porcelain Hand Building Workshop

• 5/5 from Glenn Szymanski, attended Mar 2024: 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

• 5/5 from Edward Tong, attended Jun 2023: 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!
• 5/5 from Sandra Wei, attended 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.

• 5/5 from Kelly Hedderman, attended May 2023: My daughter and I had such an amazing time. The space was great, there was a huge amount of materials to create so many things, the teacher was so wonderful. She clearly demonstrated and explained different techniques. We learned so much and she was so patient, knowledgeable and friendly. The nibbles and drinks made it a truly wonderful experience.
• 5/5 from Christina McFarlane, attended Jan 2023: My wife and I had a lovely time getting our hands dirty and really enjoyed Laura’s company and experience.

• 5/5 from Dania Gouw, attended Nov 2022: Laura was fantastic. She was patient and joyful. Took us step by step and introduced us to several techniques. The champagne and cheese were definitely an ice breaker and i've enjoyed how welcoming she is to new ideas and us exploring several different designs in one sitting.
• 5/5 from Julie Stralow, attended Nov 2022: The facilitator was fantastic! Venue and set-up was great! Made some great pieces, can’t wait to see them!
• 5/5 from Nikki Ferguson, attended Oct 2022: 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!
• 5/5 from Amanda Tansi, attended 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.
• 5/5 from Clare Neilson, attended Sep 2022: Such a great class. Laura was an excellent teacher.

Highly recommend if you have some friends & want to have some hands-on bonding time.

• 5/5 from Louise Bayutti, attended Aug 2022: A very enjoyable workshop. Laura is an excellent teacher. Each person attending made several pieces in 2.5 hours. Great value for money. Can’t wait to see the finished products after pieces have been glazed and fired. Thank you, Laura

• 5/5 from Vera Gallotti, attended May 2022: What a great way to spend my Mother’s Day gift card. The venue was easy to find and material was provided. The teacher was excellent and really fun. She showed us different techniques and we could experiment and create quite a few pieces. Really happy.
• 5/5 from Natalie Cittadino, attended May 2022: 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!
• 5/5 from Cassandra Bruce, attended May 2022: Such an enjoyable class. Laura was such a welcoming, warm and talented instructor. The creative space was very fun. I had zero experience, but we learned three techniques and ended up making several items. Highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Gwendolyn Vujnovich, attended 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
• 5/5 from Jessica McDermid, attended 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!

• 5/5 from Tiffany Lee, attended Apr 2022: 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!

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.
