What you'll do

Looking for unique Sydney activities? Join Tomato Art at our Burwood pottery studio and learn the art of wheel throwing.

This hands-on, beginner-friendly pottery workshop will see you making a unique ceramic piece to take home. The class runs for ninety minutes with a friendly instructor guiding you the whole way. You'll start with an introduction to pottery and the wheel before learning to throw a ceramic cup or bowl.

After class, your piece is dried and fired in our kiln, and is ready to pick up about 5 weeks later.

You'll go home more confident on the wheel, with the skills to keep your pottery journey going.

Good to know

Please take a photo of your work before you leave the studio — we use it to identify your piece at collection, so no photo means no collection.
We don't contact guests when pieces are ready, and our opening hours vary, so please message us before coming in.
Work is held at the studio for up to 4 months. After that it's discarded.
You can add an extra glazing or painting session after class for an additional fee.

Recent reviews of Pottery Wheel Throwing Class: Make a Ceramic Piece

5/5 from Rachael Kruska, attended Oct 2026: The class was a lot of fun and the instructor was super friendly and didn't make anyone feel like they couldn't do it. He explained everything really clearly and helped everyone so that we all had a piece at the end.
5/5 from Stuti Doshi, attended Oct 2026: The tutor, Lumos, was wonderful! We had the best time and she explained all the basics really well and helped everyone individually during the session which was so nice. I would love to do ongoing classes with her.
5/5 from Vivian Huynh, attended Oct 2026: Super fun class. The teacher was engaging and patient, there were some students that were struggling (including myself) and she was happy to help give advice and correct our mistakes.
5/5 from Brittany Hevey, attended Oct 2026: Such a beautiful way to spend our early anniversary! We had the most wonderful time at Tomato Art in Burwood for a pottery throwing class. It was such a fun and unique date experience, and getting to make our own pieces on the wheel made it even more special. A huge thank you to our instructor who was so patient, encouraging and lovely throughout the class. She made the whole experience fun and enjoyable, even for complete beginners! She saved me a couple of times! We laughed, got our hands covered in clay, and came away with some very memorable creations. Definitely an experience we’ll remember. Highly recommend Tomato Art for a fun, creative and memorable date!
5/5 from Rita Zammit, attended Oct 2026: Really enjoyed the class and had fun. The instructor was very helpful. Would highly recommend.
5/5 from Elena, attended Oct 2026: Very good experience for a date! me and my partner had a good time there

4/5 from Caterina Ricca, attended Oct 2026: fun and a good experience
4/5 from Maneet Kaur, attended Oct 2026: It was such an awesome and fun class.
5/5 from Claire Harvey, attended Sep 2026: This was such a great class - I took my 8 year old daughter who absolutely loved it. Clear instructions and hands on help when needed made wheel throwing fun and easy to learn with a beautiful bowl to show for it at the end.
5/5 from Margarita Anna Marie Tejada, attended Sep 2026: Lumos was very helpful and she’s very good. She patiently helped taught every step and everyone in the class. Overall it was a fun activity.
5/5 from Janet Wang, attended Sep 2026: Friendly instructors.
5/5 from Alice G Narayan, attended Sep 2026: We had an amazing time!!! The pottery instructor was so funny and helpful!! We're looking forward to returning and doing the painting class as well!!! Must do activity with you partner or friends!
5/5 from Kay Polaia, attended Sep 2026: Fun first time experience. Amazing teacher and good vibes
5/5 from Amanda Harrison, attended Sep 2026: Had such a great time at this pottery class! We got to learn the basics of wheel throwing and create our own ceramic piece. The teacher was amazing, super friendly, patient, and made the whole experience really fun, even when our pots weren't exactly going to plan! I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try something creative and fun!
5/5 from Erica Salonga, attended Sep 2026: Really enjoyed the class, the instructor was very attentive and was able to take the time to help out each student with their work

4/5 from Dena M D, attended Sep 2026: Lots of fun!!
5/5 from Carisa Kolodziej, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was very helpful and polite. She explained how to create different shapes and designs. She was non-judgemental when my work didn’t go to plan and assisted me multiple times when I became stuck. The class ran quite smoothly and was well organised with enough equipment. I like watching the clay spin around on the wheel and also the feeling when I was able to mold it into certain shapes. As a first-timer it was a fun experience and I think it’d be a really cool skill to master the art of pottery.

4/5 from Maria Sulen, attended Aug 2026: Teacher was kind, knowledgeable and patient, she gave us different options to make out of clay. I'd definitely go back
4/5 from Kendra Carattini, attended Aug 2026: I enjoyed this class! It was my second time using a pottery wheel, and I found it very challenging. The instructor gave good tips, but it's clearly something that requires practice and finesse. I still managed to make an ok vase.
2/5 from Brendan David, attended Aug 2026: Teacher showed up 15 minute lates then rushed through a brief intro. Didn’t offer as much help as hoped and then ended session getting people to wrap up 10 minutes before 12pm to get class finished right on time. Overall quite disappointed in the experience even though it was fun. I’d do it again but at a different studio that wasn’t so crammed.
5/5 from Yan Lin Chin, attended Jul 2026: Class environment is so fun even good for beginners.
5/5 from Gaia Perez, attended Jul 2026: teacher was attentive and charismatic
5/5 from Connie Dolores, attended Jul 2026: The teacher made the experience relaxed and enjoyable, and help each student as needed - really nice atmosphere. It’s inspired me to sign up for the next multi-week course in my area. So much fun! Really recommend
5/5 from Divya Ganapathy, attended Jul 2026: Lumos was amazing, We had a great time - very memorable indeed!

5/5 from Sabina de Leon, attended Jul 2026: A fabulous class! Was fun to learn about pottery and very relaxing. The teacher was knowledgeable and made the class entertaining.

5/5 from Wendy Leung, attended Jul 2026: She was kind and helpful and I learnt something new today. It was fun!
5/5 from Erika Florin, attended Jul 2026: Great class! Was fun and enjoyable.
5/5 from Dianne van Dulken, attended Jul 2026: I had a wonderful time. It was my first time doing any pottery on a wheel, and the teacher was very helpful and informative. She took us through the stages really clearly, and I think everyone ended up with something cute (though some needed her help to make something). The only thing I would say is that I think you should mention in the booking that it would cost extra to get the pieces glazed. It wasn't much extra, but would be nice to know before you went.
5/5 from Lia Murray, attended Jul 2026: Very fun!! The teacher was very nice and helpful!!
5/5 from Amaarah, attended Jul 2026: Teacher was very friendly, good vibes all around. Received help from teacher and details were extensively provided. Learned about pottery basics and how to work the machine.
4/5 from Susan Attard, attended Jul 2026: Teacher was knowledgeable but spoke very quickly, and the amount of noise in the room meant some things were missed. There were too many people in the class, making the room loud and the seating was squashy. Twenty people in the room was way too many.
4/5 from Ruby Kan, attended Jul 2026: Teacher is very engaging. Its a great beginners class. Just dont expect to make your own piece cause you may not. The teacher will help make a piece for you though
5/5 from Zijin Ding, attended Jun 2026: Good experience with clay
5/5 from Alexis, attended Jun 2026: Our teacher was very good and patient with the group. We could make a bowl or cup. Most of the class needed help at some stage but our teacher patiently helped all of us. My favourite thing was seeing the finished bowls and cups
5/5 from Tam Marney, attended Jun 2026: Took my kids to this pottery class, they loved it. Teacher was very patient and helpful. Would definitely come again.
4/5 from Eustacia Karunalia, attended Jun 2026: Great beginner class! You'll learn lots about the basics of pottery and leave with a nice body of work :)
4/5 from Imanya Attieh, attended Jun 2026: Was Super fun!!! We went for a girls night and had the best time. Only thing is that it felt a little bit too short… next time we’ll book for a longer session if they have one! Definitely recommend
4/5 from Liesl, attended Jun 2026: The teacher was very good at explaining the steps. Teacher also spent as much time as necessary to help you work on your piece. Good small class size made the activity enjoyable.
