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.

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop

I surprised my beautiful friend Jane with this Kintsugi class as a gift for her birthday, especially fitting for a friend who, like me and so many others, came through difficult times stronger and with a renewed sense of love and appreciation for ourselves and for the priceless gifts we gained from our painful experiences an outcome perfectly reflected in the philosophy of Kintsugi: embracing scars + more

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Our teacher Holly is fantastic, her knowledge of cement and what you can create with it is excellent. Holly is very generous with her ideas and gives lots of advice and tips on how to create with cement. I would love to take another course with Holly.

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop

We had a lovely time learning Kintsugi with Jun-san. He taught us about the history of Kintsugi and about Japanese culture. My partner and I were the only two participants in the class and had Jun's undivided attention for the session. He was patient while teaching us the techniques and well prepared. He also provided us with a take-home workbook and told us where to buy the materials used so that + more

Samantha Evans

Art Kintsugi Workshop - Private

This was such an enjoyable class and a novel way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Yoko was very knowledgeable and patient in her instruction. She remained so attentive to us in all 3hrs of the class! We would definitely recommend this class for anyone wanting to explore Kintsugi (and happy to listen to some live music playing in another studio at the same time - 2 for 1:D)

Emma Blackwood

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop

My partner and I had such a great time in our 2 person private class. Hitomi-sensai was so kind and knowledgeable. The entire dojo was very welcoming. If you're considering learning more about Kintsugia definitely book a class! It was very accessible for beginners, you leave with knowledge and a lovely new plate. (Bonus points for excellent COVID precautions as well!)

Alison Lindsay

Art Kintsugi Workshop - Private

We had such a great time with Yoko learning about traditional kintsugi while also doing our own art kintsugi with materials we could find at Bunnings. I bought it as a birthday present for my fiancé and he loved it. The plate we repaired was really beautiful, so I can't wait to see what the end product looks like in a few days. I'm strangely excited for the next time we break a plate, so that we can + more
