Enjoyable class and well paced. Noriko was an engaging and knowledgeable teacher. The jewellery we made looked great.
Camille Dickson-Deane • Jun 2021
This was an absolute joy of a class for my daughter and I. June-San and his wife made this an experience we will continue and cherish.
Tanya Keg • Jun 2021
I very much enjoyed the Beginner’s Kintsugi Workshop. It was a birthday gift from my daughter & a lovely way to spend the morning together. Miyoko was great teacher - very knowledgeable about the technique & history of Kintsugi & we chatted about travelling in Japan as well. Convenient location near Town Hall station. My daughter & I are very proud of our Kintsugi masterpieces - thank you!
Luke Ahearn • Jun 2021
I booked this pottery class with my wife for her birthday. It was perfect being just us in the class. Leanne was very informative and super helpful with me when making the arrangements to book. Made it a great activity for us. Really enjoyed it!
Evie Farah • Jun 2021
What a fantastic class! Our teacher Jun-San was so lovely and patient. He told us some very interesting stories about the history of kintsugi. I would recommend this class to anyone, no matter your artistic skills

Sculpture Workshop: Make Your Mate Out of Clay
Great instruction, lovely space, all materials provided. Little costly, but very fun. Very happy with our sculptures !
Rainier Reyes • May 2021
The Beginner's Kintsugi Workshop is a delightfully wholesome experience and definitely something to write home about! The teacher was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the craft which created such a warm and welcoming environment. Cannot wait to put the skills learnt into practice, and will definitely be signing up for the advanced course in the future
Karen Zhang • May 2021
Wonderful experience, loved the workshop and it's clear to see that Jun has a wealth of experience. I had organised this workshop as a present for our good friends that recently got engaged and it was the perfect experience with significant lessons about life along the way Best, Karen
Laura Blasdale • May 2021
Authentic experience with a beautiful Japanese teacher; she was so kind. History, culture and of course the actual experience of making something unique was awesome.
John Russell • May 2021
Jun, our teacher, was excellent - very patient with our lack of skill and full of knowledge and helpful tips. The venue is small and spotless, so were all the varied tools provided. Everything was there, we did not need to bring a thing. The course was a gift to us, so we cannot comment on value for money, but we would be prepared to pay well for such a good course. the 2 hours just flew by, and weJun, our teacher, was excellent - very patient with our lack of skill and full of knowledge and helpful tips.

Knowledgeable and supportive teacher made the skills and techniques achievable for all! Lovely location, well resourced, comfortable. Loved my creation, and want to make more! Would be awesome if there were more classes like this!

Freeform Clay Hand Building Class: Clayfulness
Today I had a fantastic time with Bettina on my Private Lesson. We created a beautiful & unique vase from the scratch! Bettina has an amazing creative mind, explains carefully how to approach a project step by step & gets excited with you when it turns out to be a masterpiece ;) I would highly recommend everyone who would like to spend some creative time with a real professional
Justina Yap • Apr 2021
I really enjoyed class! Ai-san is an excellent teacher, patient and explains things really clearly. I also loved the history of kintsugi. Will definitely be signing up for the more advanced classes!
Fun Pottery classes / courses in Sydney
Pottery for beginners
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!
The best part? Our pottery classes are perfect for beginners. Come and discover new things to do in Sydney that will activate your brain all while helping you relax at the same time. The experienced potters are also able to help you if you already know the basics of pottery 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.
What to expect at Sydney pottery classes
Join these ceramic classes and you'll learn the basics like pinching, wheel throwing, glazing and firing, or even how to make your own DIY clay sculpture. There are even ceramic 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).
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.
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. Perfect for team building activities in Sydney, hen do party ideas or unique birthday gift experiences for a loved one.
Pottery is great for your wellbeing
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.
