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.

Gina was a great teacher, super patient, explained everything really well, had a good camera set up for the workshop and was quick to support one of the other guests who was experiencing technical difficulties.

Introduction to Figurative Sculpting

We really loved taking this class with Irina! She was professional, insightful and personable. She was great at being able to review your sculpture in progress and provide helpful suggestions on how to make it better and more realistic. We've been really looking for ways to find interesting things to do during lockdown and this exceeded our expectations. Thanks, Irina

Wheel Throwing & Wine Night

A great afternoon with wine, a grazing board, warm conversation and guidance from the lovely teacher, and playing with clay on the wheel!

One on One Pottery Class

Great is not enough! Incredibly amazing! The studio space is beautiful and amazing. Lucy is simply a wonderful teacher. Her guidance and cues were easy to follow and she is so encouraging, not to mention incredible personable. Everything was ready and provided, all I had to bring was myself, towel/ apron and willingness to get stuck into it! This was my first session and safe to say, I will be a returning student!

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

Thank you Yoko for an enjoyable class! Yoko is a very patient and thorough teacher and I enjoyed learning the art of Kintsugi from her.

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

I just loved this class. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning an almost meditative experience of “mending”. Yoko is a fabulous teacher. The bento box of equipment was beautifully presented and contains enough to practice after the class. I highly recommend this class

Lily Raynes

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

My daughter and I spent a thoroughly enjoyable few hours under Yoko's expert tutelage learning the art of Kintsugi. We were both so impressed by Yoko’s gentle guidance, depth of knowledge and most of all, attention to detail (right down to the green tea and lolly that came in our respective boxes!). I would never consider myself as ‘arty’ however that was OK and to be honest I found the experience convivial, relaxing, connecting, meditative and of course, informative. This was a beautiful gift as I was able to spend quality zoom time with my daughter (currently in the Melbourne lockdown) from our family home in regional NSW.

10/10 would recommend, particularly to other parents missing spending time with their young adult kids at the moment.

The class was fun and easy to follow. Gina was a patient, informative and lovely teacher. I received this class as a gift for my bday. It was a great present!

Francine Schaepper

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

The experience started when I got the box! In true Japanese love for detail everything was packed neatly and it also included some amazing green tea and a personal note.

I didn't expect to get a private class so this was a bonus! Yoko is a patient teacher with great expertise. She explained everything step by step and made it very easy to follow.

Three hours went by super quickly and I'm now trying to find other things that I could fix Kintsugi style! =) Definitely recommending this course and will probably book another one in the future!

Make Clay Planters

Thanks to our teacher, Gina, for a great clay pot class!
We had a group of five friends away at a hinterland retreat house and we enjoyed our crafty afternoon via zoom.
The instructions and steps were easy to follow and we were encouraged to ask questions along the way.
Great experience for something different!

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

I truly enjoy this class. Opening the craft box gave so much joy with all the little details. On the day, Yoko is so patience and gave clear instructions to follow - Yoko do first then myself and gave tips along the way. Yoko shared a lot of her knowledge on the art of mending. I'm excited to wait for the final product and do more on joining things with gold.

Wheel Throwing & Wine Night

Lucy was amazing. Very patient and pure sunshine. Wheel turning was harder than I thought but lots of fun learning. It was a small group and easy to chat and get to know knew people. Recommend
