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.

Clay, Coffee and Cake Workshop

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with family and friends creating special memories and quirky pieces our of clay. The teacher was great giving advise at the beginning then letting us explore and devise our own program and of course being available when needed. Highly recommend it.

Clay, Coffee and Cake Workshop

The studio is very sweet and spacious. Sharnah was very helpful and provided lots of information while still providing enough time to let us try things on our own.

We were given plenty of clay, as well as items to use in many creative ways. Everyone came away with a number of beautiful, personalised creations.

Morning tea and the lovely coffee was a bonus :)

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.

Clay Hand Building Class: Pottery, Wine and Soul



This class was an amazing experience. Lucy was the perfect combination of supportive and instructive- she has heart and soul. I attended alone as a gift from my daughter and met some wonderful like-minded people with whom I hope to keep in contact. I made three items, small and medium bowls and a dish. They are not perfect... but that is their appeal. All other attendees made fabulous items, there were all smiles and pride at the end of the evening. I am looking forward to seeing mine after they have been glazed and fired. Will be definitely booking another one of Lucy’s classes, the wheel class looks fabulous. This session was one do those feel good times where people and creativity come together to remind us of all the good in our world. Thank you Lucy! Karen

Clay, Coffee and Cake Workshop



Fun and creative afternoon with family members. Our teacher was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The time went quickly and it was a bit of a scramble to get our various pieces finished.....too much laughter and talking on our part. Great coffee and cake was provided too. I am looking forward to going back for a painting class to finish off our 'masterpieces'. All of us managed to produce at least a couple of functional and useable items.

Awesome evening with Lucy! She was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about pottery. She was very positive and friendly. The studio looked beautiful and all the equipment was provided. The wine was also a delicious addition to this crafty evening :) Having never done pottery before, it didn’t stop me from participating. Lucy was able to teach all levels. All in all it was a lovely experience where I learnt new skills :)

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!
