Health benefits of pottery

There’s something about making pottery that is just relaxing. You’re in a room full of fellow creatives and artists. Your hands are too dirty to be able to reach for your phone. And, you’re creating something beautiful. Head to your next pottery class and notice how calm you feel when you’re at the pottery wheel, or moulding clay in a hand building class!

Cally Robertson

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Melbourne)



This class was excellent! In two hours I walked away with a sense of what Kintsugi was about, a great understanding of the modern basics of the craft, plus some extra supplies to ensure that I can try again at home.

Jun and Hitomi are excellent teachers and they provided support throughout the class to ensure everyone walked out with a beautiful piece.

Plus there is Japanese tea and snacks! And how can you beat that!?!

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Melbourne)



Such a good workshop! Everything from the philosophy behind kintsugi to the actual technique was very interesting. Our teacher, Jun, was a patient teacher and it was nice to hear him talk about how he got into kintsugi and different things about his life and Japan in general. The workshop was comprehensive enough that we could repair our own pieces at home in future.

Hand Building with Clay Workshop

Really good teacher with simple and clear direction. Super helpful and encouraging right throughout the class.
They've clearly got the class down to a fine art with the perfect amount of time, people, and materials.
And the cherry on top is a beautiful friendly dog to make arriving into a room full of strangers an absolute joy instead of awkward and scary.

Ceramic Hand Building Class



The hand making clay class with Tina was definitely worth it as we were given 3 hours and lots of very interesting and useful tips from Tina to create whatever we wanted! The tools and clay provided were of a high standard and the work space was also lovely! My partner and I had a great time and can’t wait to collect our pieces and put them to use! We have been inspired to delve more into clay making!!

Introduction to Ceramics Class

Nichola was amazing! She showed us all the techniques and help us make our special pots, dish, and cups. She was also telling us where we can get all the equipment for pottery so we know where to go if we want to take it further. I had so much fun with my girls for my Hens and Nichola made the day very special. It was 3 hrs workshop but time flies because we were so into it!
