Pottery classes - Sydney

Learn to make beautiful and unique ceramics in our relaxed Sydney pottery classes, near you, with our talented and passionate teachers. Pottery is a great way to indulge your creativity. A block of clay can become a teapot, a vase, a bowl for your pets, and so much more - let your imagination find a real physical form. Get creative with a ceramic painting class, make something cute, something wacky, or just switch off and let your hands decide with a clay hand building class. Pottery can be a meditative experience - you can fall into a trance as you move with the rhythm of the pottery wheel, and as you methodically knead and shape your clay. It’s the perfect way to get a bit of mindfulness into your day and make something you can keep forever, or even gift to your nearest and dearest.

Fun Pottery classes / courses in Sydney

Whether you're in the lower north shore, the eastern suburbs, the Sutherland Shire, or somewhere in between, we have a pottery workshop near you. Pottery may be one of the oldest crafts in existence, but there’s never been a more important time to take pottery classes and help improve our well being. Art classes for adults in Sydney are growing in popularity as a great form of stress release for full-time workers and students alike. You’ll find some of the best pottery teachers in Sydney at some of the best pottery studios in Sydney. And even if you’re not feeling stressed, they’re just fun things to do on the weekend!

Join our ceramic classes and you'll learn the basics like pinching, wheel throwing, glazing and firing, or even how to make your own clay sculpture. There are even ceramic painting and glazing classes if you want to paint your own pottery or have some fun and try ceramic painting for kids. You'll be given one on one guidance to build your skills, your confidence, and of course your personal handmade creations (yours to keep or to gift).

Our pottery classes are perfect for beginners, though our experienced teachers are also able to help you if you already know the basics and are ready to move onto more advanced learning. Hand building clay classes also make great options for team building activities for the office as they’ll get you and your colleagues away from your desk and working with your hands in a different, more creative way.

Come ready to experiment with the equipment that is used by professional artists, including proper wheels and kilns. Join as part of a larger group, or go for a smaller and more intimate experience if you’re looking for fun date night ideas in Sydney.

Health benefits of pottery

If you’re looking for a relaxing and mindful craft to test out as a new hobby, pottery classes should be at the top of your list. Kneading clay using hand building techniques, or physically shaping ceramic bowls and vases with a pottery wheel activates your brain, stimulates your muscles and allows you to tune in to your emotional state. If you work with clay regularly it can have a myriad of benefits like increased focus and improved concentration, as well as that creative kick you'll get when you pull your handmade objects out of the kiln.

Custom classes

Want to learn or experience something specific? You can easily contact our teachers and arrange a custom workshop at your preferred time and to suit your skill level.

If you’re looking for a unique and memorable event these workshops are perfect things to do with friends on the weekend, for aged care groups, team building exercises, indoor things to do, and kids weekend activities. We've got a range of teachers who cater specifically to larger events, and we can customise classes to meet your needs. Get in touch today and we'll put something together for you.

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!

Kintsugi Workshop: Mindful Evening Practice

I love the creative space Yoko works from. She is a very good teacher and I was very happy with the amount I learnt and the finished product.
I will be buying her gorgeous hand made brushes so I can continue this art from home.
The money spent was worth what I got to learn today

Maliha Asher

Kids Pottery Holiday Class for Small Groups

I booked a 2 hour class for my 6yo daughter and two of her friends. The girls had a fantastic time! They learnt how to shape clay on the wheel as well as how to shape it with hand.
We made 2 clay pots during the session. Great teacher. We’ll be going back to her for more in the next school holidays.

Rini Ismail

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.

Hand Building Pottery Workshop

Andrea was a sweet instructor. She guided us from beginning to start. She was patient and calming and kept us engaged. The studio was an intimate space nestled behind an alleyway and next to a cute garden. Overall it was a very meditative and therapeautic experience.
