Not Yet Perfect Wheel Workshop
(Beginner — Intermediate)
Step into the calming world of clay at Not Yet Perfect Studio.
Our Wheel Workshop is a slow, grounding experience designed for beginners and curious creatives alike — a chance to pause, play and create something beautifully your own.
Whether it’s your very first time on the wheel or you’re returning to the craft, this intimate studio session invites you to explore pottery in a relaxed and supportive space.
Over two hours, you’ll learn the foundations of wheel throwing while shaping functional ceramic pieces by hand. Guided gently by our team, you’ll discover the tactile beauty of clay — the movement, texture and quiet joy of creating something from nothing.
No pressure. No perfection. Just the experience of making.
Held within the beautiful Heathcote Cultural Precinct, our workshops are designed to feel warm, inspiring and deeply therapeutic.
No experience is needed — simply come as you are.

Recent reviews of Pottery Wheelwork Workshop: Wheel Throwing

  • 5/5 from Nicola Crook, attended Oct 2026: Well presented, instructor led class. Easy to learn and loads of fun.
  • 5/5 from Mohamad Chami, attended Jul 2026: I organised pottery for myself and my girlfriend for our anniversary. We absolutely loved it. Ruth was our teacher and she was so bubbly, friendly and helpful. The instructions were short, simple and precise which allowed us plenty of time to actually make our artwork. My girlfriend loved the experience and I hate to admit that I did too We can’t wait to pick up our pieces once they have cured and book again.
  • 5/5 from Johanna Lundin, attended Jun 2026: I did the wheel throwing workshop and Lucy was an incredible teacher. I've been to so many classes including a month course elsewhere and I learned so much more during this session, 10/10.
  • 5/5 from Anita Ottobrino, attended Jun 2026: We had an absolute blast in this class. Lucy was so lovely and a great teacher. It was so fun and satisfying on the wheel. 100% recommend.
  • 5/5 from Mara Barone, attended Nov 2025: Received this class as a gift. Was a wonderful experience. The teacher (Ruth) was very helpful and encouraging and set a lovely tone for the class.
  • 4/5 from Michele Legge, attended Sep 2025: I really enjoyed the class I think when explaining the process though it should be broken down instead if making a whole bowl in one go just would make it easier to follow of we did each part of the process as we went. While I know the teacher was being helpful she often took over what we were doing to show us instead of allowing us to actually do it. That said would do again it was a fun experience and would be great with a group if friends
  • 5/5 from Willow Morton, attended May 2025: Such a great class! The teacher was so lovely, encouraging and helpful. Would recommend!

  • 5/5 from Jilna Shah, attended Sep 2024: Just the first batch of clay had itchy sand, which made it painful to put our hand on the stone. But the second batch was amazing. Kristen was really patient and fun to learn from. Definitely recommend this class!!
  • 5/5 from Mark Ranson, attended Aug 2024: Brilliant pottery wheel class, very well facilitated by Kirsten and we had a great time, i made some mess but Marie did a great job... thanks for making the birthday special
  • 5/5 from Tanya Dique, attended Jul 2024: Tess was lovely - her knowledge and calm nature were wonderful. The new pottery wheels were wonderful - I can't imagine what the old ones were like if you couldn't even listen to music! So, thanks for the new wheels! I would recommend this workshop to others.
  • 5/5 from Donna Clarke, attended Jul 2024: My husband and I decided to try a pottery wheel workshop for his birthday. The venue had plenty of wheels and equipment, and much needed clay due to all the failures! It was our first time using the pottery wheel and we both found it to be meditative, (once getting over the stress of wonky bowls) but also lots of fun. Bree was our teacher; she was very knowledgeable and gave good advice; also very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Clayton, attended May 2024: Natali was a fantastic teacher, and incredibly patient and friendly. Class was a good size (5 pax) and would definitely recommend BYO towel and wearing old clothes. If you leave clean, you’re not trying hard enough
  • 5/5 from Paige Bannam, attended Jan 2024: Our teachers were amazing! The class was fun and very informative. If you have never tried pottery wheel work, you need to try this workshop!
  • 5/5 from Marla Petrelis, attended Nov 2023: Our teacher was fantastic and was really helpful. The venue was great. My only thought is they tell you to bring and apron or towel I suggest both apron and a bath towel. I loved every minute it was so relaxing and I look forward to go again
  • 5/5 from Alexander Hayes, attended Nov 2023: Was a really great morning, teacher was lovely and very patient. Great facilities and location. Will definitely be going again!

  • 5/5 from Carol-Ann Langley, attended Aug 2023: I loved it! The teacher was great and patiently helped everyone. It was harder than I expected but a really fun challenge.
  • 5/5 from Mandy Elliott, attended Aug 2023: Great teacher, wonderful, good venue and equipment. The only issues I had was all the online booking. I had an online gift card and it was really hard to do the booking. I had to change what the gift was and adapt my booking. But I loved the class.
  • 5/5 from Naveen Mirihagalla, attended Jul 2023: Teacher was excellent and gave each individual clear instructions. As a beginner, she was patient and helped as much as she could.
  • 5/5 from Carley Rooney, attended May 2023: We were lucky to have the owner Lucy teach us. She did a great job and provided such a friendly, fun, and calming space.
  • 3/5 from Linda Cannon, attended Mar 2023: It was a lot of money to then have to pay $15 for a piece to take home. I think everyone should get a complimentary piece included. I do not think it was value for money.
  • 5/5 from Helen Carter, attended Feb 2023: Venue lovely Lucy was a great teacher Enjoyable experience and a wonderful gift from my daughter
  • 5/5 from Louise James, attended Feb 2023: Lucy is an incredible kind patient teacher whose love for pottery shows with her teaching. She can laugh with you
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Beatty, attended Jan 2023: what an enjoyable class, we've never done pottery before and I would recommend it to anyone, we found it very relaxing
  • 5/5 from Bex, attended Jan 2023: Wow it was amazing, we've never done pottery before but we found the class very therapeutic and relaxing, Bree made it very easy to understand and we had a great time, well worth it and highly recommend we'll definitely do it again.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Joyce, attended Jan 2023: The class was fantastic, we did it for a friends birthday and she had a great time plus you get the memento of a clay piece that you make. Our teacher Lucie was very sweet and patient with us and happy to fix our mistakes! Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Karen Fox, attended Dec 2022: Great relaxed venue, very helpful and informative teacher. I had such a great time! Now thinking about booking into the extended workshop.
  • 5/5 from Anle Pretorius, attended Dec 2022: This was exactly what we needed today, loved it. Thank you! Can't wait to do it again
  • 5/5 from Claire Hughes, attended Nov 2022: Lucy is sooooo patient, calm and very encouraging. The venue has a lovely ambiance. Today was my first attempt at pottery wheel work but I will be back. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Yasmin Montgomery-Howard, attended Nov 2022: Lovely venue. Teacher calm and supportive way made the class enjoyable. Interested in the new year to take some more classes.
  • 5/5 from Kate Langdon, attended Nov 2022: Lucy was very positive and gentle in her feedback. Felt safe having a go and failing. Thanks so much
  • 5/5 from Courtney Johns, attended Nov 2022: We had a great time today, we learnt a lot and the teacher was great! She was super helpful and easy to follow.
  • 5/5 from Shania Smee, attended Oct 2022: The location was beautiful and relaxing with plenty of parking. The teacher was helpful and had a positive attitude focused on learning and creativity. Students were able to use as many balls of clay as we wanted to start again or make another piece. We were asked to bring our own aprons and/or towels. I would suggest wearing clothes you are okay with getting clay on. It did wash out easily regardless. The teacher showed us the steps first, then walked around and helped people individually as needed.
  • 5/5 from Renee Marcolina, attended Oct 2022: Great teacher and all around a super fun experience. Many thanks Lucy for all your guidance.
  • 4/5 from Chloe Tassone, attended Oct 2022: If you are a true beginer you might beneift from a more one on one personal lesson to fully master the basics of wheel spinning - this class is fun but moves very quickly and you are left to your own devices which is great if you have some basic understanding of how the wheel works, speeds, throwing and centering the clay to then make your pieces.
  • 5/5 from Veronica, attended Sep 2022: Monique was great, and made the whole experience enjoyable, and fun. Was worth it.
  • 4/5 from Ashley Hill, attended Sep 2022: I had fun at the “Not Yet Perfect” pottery wheel work class. The teacher was very helpful; and the class is located in a nice area.
  • 3/5 from Shalini Dias, attended Sep 2022: Teacher was lovely and very helpful but it would have been better if teacher was demonstrating as we were working on our wheels step by step. Was not worth the price.
  • 5/5 from Cleopatra Mpenyu, attended Aug 2022: Really fun experience, first time with a group of my friends to celebrate my birthday and we all loved it ️️. Definitely going again to horn our skills.
  • 5/5 from Sophia Stewart, attended Jul 2022: Not yet perfect pottery beginner class was so much fun! Monique our instructor was amazing and so helpful and passionate. She made the class feel very personable and was always there to help guide you through. The class was quite large though for only one teacher, I think having two teachers there to help would have made this amazing experience even better. Monique did a great job trying to get to everyone though! They do mention to bring your own apron, though I think adding a note to bring your own old towel aswell as the apron would be helpful as it can get quite messy If you haven’t ever done pottery before this class is perfect! We will definitely be back to try more classes Thanks again Monique
  • 5/5 from Rosanna Marangon, attended Jun 2022: What fun! Had a very enjoyable time, our teacher Lucy was very helpful, it’s not as easy as it looks!
  • 5/5 from Linda Giacchetta, attended Jun 2022: My partner and I really enjoyed the class. Equipment was great and Lucy who led the class was lovely. Would recommend to people wanting to do something a little different.
  • 5/5 from Ella Borrello, attended Jun 2022: Thanks Lucy for a great class! Super friendly and helpful. Had lots of fun learning to work the wheel.
