Looking for fun things to do in Brisbane? First time throwing clay on the pottery wheel? Join Wesley Taylor Art Studios in Brisbane City for a creative and relaxing session.
Over your session, you'll get step-by-step guidance from a patient, experienced teacher and make up to three pieces on the wheel. We work with earthenware clay, so you can take your pieces home to air dry and paint yourself with acrylics, or add our ceramic painting and kiln firing service for a proper ceramic finish.
We have two throwing rooms, so we split bookings and keep the average class size to around 6 people. On busy nights you may have a room to yourselves.
Allow a 2-hour time slot, which covers the 1.5-hour class plus clean-up.
Add-ons available at checkout
  • Kiln firing: $25 per piece (up to 12cm)
  • Ceramic painting session: a separate 2-hour session where you paint your fired pieces with underglaze, then we glaze-fire them, ready about a week later
  • Intermediate follow-up class: come back once you're a little more confident, paint 2 pieces in the same session, and we glaze and fire them for pick-up in 4 weeks
  • Birthday cake (mud, caramel or chocolate, with candle, plates, napkins and cutlery): free for bookings of 7 or more, $50 for smaller groups
  • Grazing platters, if you'd rather not organise food yourself
Celebrating a birthday? Tick the box at checkout, and we'll have a complimentary birthday gift bag waiting for you — whether you're on your own or with a group.
Good to know
  • The studio is BYO drinks and food. We provide paper cups; please bring your own plates, cutlery and glassware unless you've ordered a platter.
  • Public sessions need a minimum of 4 guests to run. If we don't reach that, we'll contact you to reschedule.
  • Planning a hens' party, team-building day or birthday? See our private wheel throwing class — we host 8 to 40 people.

I'm a Brisbane-based artist, and I've been painting and drawing since my early childhood days. I was fortunate to receive a scholarship from the Queensland Art Gallery, which gave me ample opportunity to pursue my passion and hone my skills.
I'm very much inspired by the beauty and diversity of Australia. Many of my paintings focus on landscapes, surrealism, animals, and people. North Queensland is a particular favorite, and you'll see the influence of coral seas and mountain landscapes throughout my artwork. I have a post-impressionist style through which I try to capture the wonder of the world around us.
I specialize in pastel on card and acrylic on canvas, though I'm also experimenting with abstract and airbrush.
I've been fortunate enough to display my work in many art exhibitions and have been the recipient of many prizes and awards.
I offer Paint and Sip sessions along with Clay and Sip sessions, both at discounted rates for ClassBento Patrons. I believe in bringing these experiences to the customer at the very best competitive price possible, the real Australian Way. We have the largest range of paintings available with over 80 paintings on the gallery page of Wesley Taylor Art Studios, with the painting for each week found on the web page.
We hope you enjoy these sessions for a fun experience. The paintings are creative for maximum impact of colors, while keeping in mind first-time painting experiences. Those with a little more practice will create some amazing pieces.
Let us plan your special events!
“Everyone has an artistic flair and simply needs to be pointed in the right direction."
The Wesley Taylor Art Studios Mission initially set out to create workshops at half the cost of other workshops for customers to be able to enjoy the experience of creating a piece of artwork. This endeavor was to create the foundation of employing artists with a like-minded sense of assisting customers to enjoy this time out while creating new art experiences. The goals of value for money for customers and employment for artists to run these fun activities that may mark a milestone, a birthday, a hen's party, a social activity, a first date, or company team-building events to build and strengthen relationships with a common bond of creating something new. Each dandelion in the field represents a thousand possibilities waiting to be released into the wind. Just relax and be free with the wind.
