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.

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.

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!

Pop Up Kintsugi Workshop in Potts Point - Private

Our private class (for 3) with Yoko was fantastic. From the beautifully organised work station, the interesting information about the origins and history of Kintsugi, the easy to follow instructions to the feeling of accomplishment as we walked away with our finished piece- it was a great experience. The process itself is easy to understand and the workshop is a great way to spend an afternoon exploring your creativity. We left feeling optimistic about trying our new skills at home and excited to show off our creation. I would highly recommend a visit- you won’t regret it!

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!

Mindful Art Kintsugi at Home

This morning I had a class with Yoko and it was just perfect. I learned about art (Kintsugi) and made my own beautiful mended plate. The kit was very good quality and well put together. I loved the end product and the experience of making it too.
I highly recommend the class and it was a great choice of gift from a special friend. Yoko is so patient and great at explanation of each step.

Make Clay Planters

The class was well organised, though in a relaxed environment. Instructions were clearly communicated and demonstrated.
There were no issues trying to keep up, we could easily work at a comfortable pace.
And Gina is so lovely and friendly, and more than happy to follow up with an emal, info we may want to refer to later.
A great experience

Introduction to Figurative Sculpting

Highly recommend.

Irina was very patient, extremely accommodating and guided us through creating our pieces without being critical of our work or disinterested.

We were happy with the end result and was fantastic doing it in a group online.

Nice and sunny well lit venue, very organised space, friendly and patient teacher. Very helpful with kids and accomodating to their needs. Very informative and the whole process was known of what was involved. A little pricey but worth the experience.
