Some recent reviews for our Pottery classes
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.

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!

Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners
Hitomi is such a knowledgeable woman. She started the class explaining about the principles of Kintsugi, and then we went on making the pieces of jewellery. She made me feel very comfortable and confident on making it, it was fun and I felt it quite therapeutic even. Definitely recommend it for those who are interested on this art. Thanks Hitomi!
Penelope McLaren • Apr 2021
A fabulous afternoon workshop with Hitomi learning the art of Kintsugi. I bought this as a gift for my sister and she loved it too. Hitomi is very knowledgeable, patient, and a great teacher. I love the plate I 'mended' and plan to do more. Thank you Hitomi from Penny-san and Anne-san

Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners
The class was fantastic! I took my mum for a birthday present and it was perfect for that. Hitomi taught us a lot, not just about the process of kintsugi but about the history behind it as well. She was very patient with us and made sure that we left with a beautiful finished product. We will definitely be back!

Grace Culhaci • Apr 2021
This class exceeded our expectations, absolutely loved it! My daughter is very shy and anxious when meeting new people but our teacher Jun was so kind and calm she was able to relax and excel at this new art form. Delighted with our creations and the instruction we received. thank you Jun san.
Dominic • Apr 2021
Jimさん and his wife Hitomiさん are lovely people who are experts in Kintsugi . They are very good at explaining the history and concepts behind the art, as well as how to actually make the kintsugi. I cannot recommend them highly enough

Kintsugi Accessory Workshop for Beginners
Absolutely fantastic class. Very professional and Hitomi was so helpful and patient. She let you take the reins and knew when to put in more assistance. Everything was very well explained and lots of options given. Absolutely love my jewellery and appreciate her efforts. Many thanks

Clay Hand Building Class: Make a Teapot
What a fun morning to create a masterpiece. Took my husband to create a teapot - and we were left in awe of what a great Morning we had. Maryanne - was very helpful and made sure everyones' needs were catered for to create something wonderful whilst learning and creating and bonding at the same time
Olinka Heyes • Mar 2021
The class was great, very informative. We loved the history behind Kintsugi. The pace was good, there was time to review each stage. Noriko-san has a lovely demeanour and genuinely wanted all to have a good time.
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.
