Pottery Wheel Introduction Class

Good place to start for beginners, who have done any pottery wheel classes



2 hours Location Salisbury Class size 1 to 6 guests   $100 (Afterpay available)

Looking for a fresh hobby, a one-time creative escape, or just something enjoyable to fill your day? This wheel throwing class is your perfect sampler.
Arrive at our cosy boutique studio and dive into a two-hour introduction to the pottery wheel. You’ll learn the basics: how to prepare your clay, centre it on the wheel, and pull up the walls of a simple form. Think of it as your first delicious taste of the pottery world.
You’ll head home with clay on your hands, a smile on your face, and one or two pieces you’ve thrown yourself. After drying and initially firing them, you can book in for a underglazing session, and we will glaze and fire them again.
Once they’re ready, you’ll collect your beautifully finished keepsakes—a perfect reminder of your first spin on the wheel.

  • 5/5 from Natalie Vail, attended Aug 2026: Special Birthday celebration with friends. We had so much fun and learnt a lot of new skills. Can’t wait to go back and paint our own pieces we created. It was a very relaxing and rewarding experience. Would love to go back to learn more.
  • 5/5 from Ellen Hawkins, attended Aug 2026: We had a lovely time at our class! Kelli was welcoming and friendly and guided us throught the entire process, including all the important tips and tricks! She helped us out when things weren't working out and we were able to make three pieces that we are so excited to see fired! Highly recommend this class.

  • 5/5 from Nina Wheeler, attended Jun 2026: My partner and I recently did a pottery wheel class at Umu Clay and had such a great experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and fun from the moment we arrived. The class struck the perfect balance between learning new skills and having fun together. It made for a unique and memorable date experience, and we left feeling proud of what we had made and maybe even a new hobbie. We'd highly recommend Umu Clay to anyone looking to try pottery, learn something new, or enjoy a creative activity with a partner. We will definitely come back for another class!

  • 5/5 from Nicola Hawkins, attended May 2026: Can't recommend this class enough! Kelli is a great teacher, very patient with beginners and very good at explaining some of the trickier techniques (and at helping to recover from mistakes!) It's a really relaxed and comfortable environment for learning. Definitely will be back for another class!

Hi, I’m Kelli Warner — and welcome to Umu Clay, a little world shaped by love, creativity, and a nickname my two daughters gave me: Umu.
After years of teaching high school visual art (and cheering on everyone else’s creativity), I finally decided it was time to give my own passions some space to breathe.
Now I’m all in on my lifelong love of clay — exploring, experimenting, and creating pieces that bring joy, texture, and a bit of whimsy into everyday life.
