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.

Some recent reviews for our Pottery classes

Suzanne Mackay

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)

Jun was a very patient and competent teacher. Everything was provided and well set up so that we could follow his instructions without any problems. He knew all about the history of kintsugi as well as lots of other details. He made us feel very welcome and the green tea and snack halfway through was excellent. I was surprised to find how easy his method was and to finish the lesson with a plate that looked really good. I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to try it. A very enjoyable two hours.

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

I absolutely loved my class with Yoko. The package came really quick and had everything I needed for the class and to continue practicing kintsugi. Yoko was really great at explaining things through the online session and was so lovely. Would highly recommend :)

Reenu George

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)

My partner’s mother gifted us this class. This was a new art form to us, but Jun our teacher took us through the journey of Kintsugi and we loved it. Making imperfection look perfect. Recommend this class to everyone who wants to try their hands on this cultural experience

Bettina’s workshop was amazing and the place was clean. I loved the relaxed vibe of her class. My bf and I enjoyed learning how to use the pottery wheel for the first time. It was really fun! Would highly recommend

Manja Rhijn

Wet Felting a Bowl Workshop

This is a really fun and easy class. Honestly anyone can do this class and create something cool and unquie. The craft box was well put together and I still have supplies left over to create another bowl which I really like.

Karen

Pottery Wheel Workshop: Embrace Wheelfulness

Had a lovely session with Bettina. So friendly and welcoming. I had lots of fun!

Abbey Hay

Make Clay Planters

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
