Fun Pottery classes / courses in Perth

Pottery making is an art that involves the molding of clay, which is then glazed and fired to create beautiful handmade ceramic objects. This technique has been around for thousands of years and was originally used to make functional pottery objects such as vases that could hold fruit, grains and nuts. Over time, these ceramic objects became not only functional, but decorative ceramic art pieces used to style homes and interiors.

Pottery classes continue to trend. This could have something to do with the meditative element of the practice, the popularity of handmade ceramics, or the fact that going to a pottery studio and playing with clay is just one of the fun things to do in Perth on the weekend. On ClassBento you will find some of the best pottery teachers and the best pottery classes in Perth.

The range of ceramic classes ranges from beginner’s ceramic classes, to clay handbuilding workshops, wheel throwing classes where you will learn how to through clay, Kintugsi ceramic repair workshops, ceramic painting classes, and even ceramic slip casting. Our Perth pottery classes usually run in small groups so that you will have an intimate experience with the chance for lots of hands on assistance.

If you are thinking about art classes for kids our pottery classes for children are a great option. They will have so much fun, learn a new skill, meet new friends and make something handmade. Pottery classes are really popular among people searching from art classes for adults which makes them great for experience gifts, hens parties and fun corporate team building activities.

There’s nothing more satisfying than working with clay and transforming it into a ceramic form. In the short pottery courses on ClassBento you will make your own functional ceramic pieces and learn how to use the pottery wheel and practice different throwing techniques. You’ll leave the class with a handmade ceramic bowl, ceramic vase, or even a beautiful piece of ceramic art that you can keep forever.  

Health benefits of pottery

For people suffering from arthritis, working with clay is a low impact activity that can help to strengthen your wrists and hands. The meditative motion of the wheel can help relieve stress, improve focus, and allow your to connect with yourself and your creativity.

Everything was great! I think throw maybe 30 mins onto it , cos it takes some time to get the hang of it. Omg I can't remeber teachers name but she was excellent , would highly recommend to anyone as a gift, professional development etc. I'm thinking of doing a one on one so can't recommend enough.

Hello, thank you for the opportunity to be able to attend the pottery workshop. Lucy is genuine and lovely making the experience fabulous. Having epilepsy I unfortunately wasn't able to complete the class (continually focusing on the wheel and clay spinning) therefore could not make anything to bring home, however I'm glad Mum enjoyed her 70th present! Could I suggest you mention medical situations in your advertisement? I'd LOVE to do another class - perhaps painting - due to doing half of this course. Could you please get back to me with a suggestion? Again, it was a wonderful day in which we could learn and watch Lucy professionally create an atmosphere of enjoyment. Thank you!

Cher was very helpful and patient with us. None of us have had any experience with pottery and she was informative yet practical. Will definitely be doing more classes!

Brilliant class! Mum and I spent the afternoon on the wheel under Lucy's kind, patient guidance. We are both absolute novices, so having the opportunity for it to be just the two of us, under Lucy's supervision, was ideal. Lucy is incredibly knowledgeable and practiced at her craft - couldn't have asked for a better teacher. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are already talking about signing up to other classes. Highly recommend!
