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.

What a fabulous experience! I organised this for myself and 3 of my friends and we all really enjoyed it. A very well thought out class, the activity at the beginning gave a great understanding into what techniques we were going to learn. Bettina was very helpful and knowlegable. It has encouraged us to do more learning into pottery and we were all really impressed with what we could achieve! Afterwards + more
