Pottery & Prosecco in the Hunter Valley

Visiting the Hunter Valley and want to try something creative? Planning a get-together, birthday, hens party or team-building session? Gather a group and dive into the world of ceramics with Sherbrook Ceramic Art at DeBortoli Winery. Have fun creating at the winery in this pottery and prosecco workshop. We offer two types of workshops tailored for group bookings – ceramic decoration or clay handbuilding. Your group will need to choose which type of workshop at least 1 week prior to the session so we can gather the right materials and tools.

• For the ceramic decoration workshops, a piece of ceramic bisque-ware will be provided (there is a choice of a round or square plate approximately 220mm in size). With your chosen plate, you will be guided to a design that will be suitable for your skill level and a workshop duration of two hours. You will then be shown how to place the design onto your plate and how to apply the paint.
• For the clay handbuilding workshops, a 500gm block of earthy clay will be provided. This is a hands-on session where you will learn slab building and pinching to shape and mould the clay. You will have the use of pottery tools to work and decorate the clay to build beautiful and unique creations. You will be guided through the whole process.

The right location and the right art materials accompanied by creative minds and a glass of Prosecco and you have got yourself a perfect relaxing time!Each session starts with a complimentary glass of DeBortoli Winery Prosecco. Food is not provided during the session and BYO food or drink is not allowed by the winery. However, gourmet food platters and drinks are available to purchase from the winery (wines must be consumed in accordance with DeBortoli’s responsible service of alcohol rules).This workshop is fun and social. At the end of the workshop, everyone will have achieved a unique artwork ready to be glazed and fired in our kiln. Please note that a food-safe clear gloss glaze is used on all the ceramic pieces and you will have the joy of collecting your creation approximately 2-4 weeks after the workshop. You will be emailed when your pieces are ready for collection. Pieces can be collected from our studios in the Hunter Valley or Sydney by arrangement. Cannot collect? No problem. We can package and ship your pieces to anywhere in Australia or overseas! Please let us know before the workshop so we can give you the shipment costs and then you can pay one of our team at the workshop.We take photographs during some of our workshops and these photographs may be shared as content on our website and social media platforms. If you do not wish to have your photograph taken and shared, please let us know before the workshop starts.
