What you'll do
Looking to discover the art of pottery? Join our wheel throwing class in Gold Coast at Firebird Studios in Burleigh Heads. Over the course of 10 weeks, you'll master the potter's wheel and create beautiful ceramics that you can proudly display at home or gift to loved ones.
Whether you're a total beginner or have dabbled in pottery before, this comprehensive workshop is designed to accelerate and refine your wheel throwing skills. We meet you at your level and challenge you to learn and improve your motor skills, clay knowledge, process knowledge, and finishing skills every week.
Our hands-on approach to learning pottery is akin to an apprentice's journey. We'll take you back to the basics and help you develop new habits that will enhance your skill level. Even seasoned throwers can improve their abilities through this course. If you're a novice, rest assured that we'll equip you with skills you can treasure for a lifetime.
Course Outline:
- Clay preparation
- Centering
- Opening
- Pulling
- Bowls and Cylinders
- Controlling shape
- Plates and larger bowls – throwing on a bat
- More clay – up to 1kg
- Sets of bowls
- Set of cups
- Up to 2kg clay
- Bottles
- Lidded Containers
- Joining multi-piece work
- Throwing to spec
Please note:
- Wheel throwing is a master craft that takes years of practice to master, so while you'll gain skills in this course, continuous practice is necessary for their development.
- During your course, you can attend the open studio sessions as often as you like to practice and glaze your work (additional clay and firing fees apply for works outside of the course curriculum).
- The course fee covers all necessary materials, such as clay, glaze, firing, and basic tools required for your creations.
Embark on this transformative journey and discover the joy of pottery. You'll leave the class with newfound confidence in your wheel throwing abilities and beautiful handmade ceramics to cherish.

Your teacher
We teach every aspect of pottery from introductory workshops through to masterclasses.
At Firebird Studios we are so proud of the quality of work and the quality of potter that we have created. Our combined wealth of experience in the team is such an inspiration to many in our community. The teachers are all so pleased to pass on their knowledge to the students coming through our doors... They willingly give of themselves from their experience - from various artistic backgrounds - and add greatly to our offerings.
We are motivated by encouraging our students to explore their creativity and to bring out their own style. Creativity is the core of our teaching, with technical expertise incorporated to achieve a professional standard!
