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.
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.
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.

Some recent reviews for our Pottery classes
Bianca Pang
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Hitomi was a brilliant and patient teacher, guiding us through every step. It was an amazing class, and we learnt more about the philosophy behind kintsugi as well! Well recommended!
Amadea Soetrisno
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Very memorable workshop, Kumi-san our teacher was very patient. If you’re looking for a workshop to unwind and destress, this is the right one for you.
Lise Rider
Kintsugi Accessory for Beginners (Private Class)
This was such a wonderful experience - the teacher was so helpful and positive during my beginner attempts at this Japanese art form. I love the philosophy behind the technique - broken things are still beautiful and we need to embrace our scars. My end products (earrings and a brooch) look fabulous and I shall enjoy showing them off!
Cynthia Wu

Thank you Bettina for the workshop.
Me and my girl really enjoyed it :)

It was a very pleasant and unique experience. Very serene and peaceful. Our instructor Kumi was extremely friendly and helpful. You also get to walk away with an art piece of your own hard work.

Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
What a wonderful creative thing to do with my best girlfriend! We loved having the tutor to ourselves - all safety precautions were taken for COVID. history of Kintsugi explained so well and taught so beautifully! Easy to find. Loved the green tea and biscuit for afternoon tea. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!

Tayla Cohen
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Hi Jun-San,
Ilse and I love love loved the class. It’s in a easy location, the little workshop was quaint and relaxing to help you be in a creative space. Jun made it an experience with his story telling and teaching and his wife was lovely too. He even recommended some cool Japanese places to go around the city. 10/10 would recommend it and I’m on my way to buy some materials now to practice the craft some more!
Ling Sun
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Hitomi is such a lovely teacher, she's very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. We had a great time and walked out learning the history of Kinstugi and how to mend broken ceramics! Thank you!
Melissa Soo
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Hitomi gave me a private lesson. She was so lovely and nice to chat to. Great experience and I really enjoyed it
Kayla
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
Jun and his wife Hitomi were very welcoming and were very friendly and informative with the history of kintsugi. Perfect for anyone looking for a new hobby and/or interest in Japanese history and culture.
The class also included a small tea break with green tea and Japanese snacks!
Monica Lu
Art Kintsugi Workshop - Private
The art kingtsugi class taught by Yoko Sensei was amazing, she is super friendly and helpful. The private class of 5 was held at the lovely Potts Point with beautiful view of the city sky line. All material was provided, you get to take away your work and class outline with a list of the steps and materials list so if you want to practice at home in her at home online class, you can. She even prepared refreshments of Japanese biscuits and lollie. It was great value for money, I would do it again!
Joanne Fedler
Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop (Private Class)
I booked a private class for a friend’s birthday and we had the most wonderful two hours with our fabulous teacher. We made beautiful plates and had such fun. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone.
