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.

We had the best experience with our teacher. Unfortunately due to COVID our Bento box was a little delayed in arriving to Tasmania. But our teacher was so accommodating in rescheduling until the box arrived. This was a Mother’s Day gift for my Nan. She has the best time creating the hanging planters. With a teacher who was very kind and patient teaching an old girl new tricks. Thanks so much for a fantastic class

Gina was super lovely, patient and friendly! She even did a private class for us, because Tess' box didn't arrive in time. We had a wonderful afternoon learning about air plants, sharing stories and making polymer clay planters. I was also really impressed with how many little extra goodies/decorations Gina popped in the box for us - made it all the more unique and special! Thanks Gina!
