Looking for a pottery class that is actually built around what you want to make?
At House of Potters in Osborne Park, every session is private. It is your group in the studio, no more than four of you, with hands-on guidance the whole way through. No production line, no craning your neck from the back of a room.
Choose your focus on the day:
  • Wheel throwing: centre the clay and pull your first bowls, cups or vases
  • Hand building: pinch, coil and slab techniques for mugs, planters, plates and sculptural pieces
  • Painting and glazing: decorate an existing piece if you would rather skip the clay work
How the two hours run:
  • A quick chat about what you would like to make and where you are starting from
  • A step-by-step demonstration, then straight onto your own piece
  • Guidance matched to your level, whether it is your first time touching clay or you are refining technique
  • Time to finish properly, tidy up and choose your glaze
Clay, tools, glazes and both firings are all included. You just turn up.
Once you are done, we bisque-fire your work, glaze it and fire it again. Pieces are ready to collect from the studio in about two to three weeks, and we will let you know as soon as yours are out of the kiln.
Who it suits:
  • Complete beginners who would rather not be the slowest person in a big class
  • Date nights and catch-ups with a friend
  • Birthdays, hens parties and other small celebrations
  • Kids and parents together (there is a child ticket and a combined adult and child ticket)
  • Anyone who has done a class before and wants to keep building on it
Come with curiosity, leave with clay under your nails and something you actually made yourself.
What you'll get
  • Your finished ceramic piece, bisque-fired, glazed and fired again, ready to collect in about two to three weeks
  • All clay, tools and glazes for the session
  • Step-by-step guidance from an experienced potter, start to finish
  • The studio to yourselves, with a maximum of four guests
  • A relaxed two hours with no rush and no experience needed

FAQ

How long until I can collect my pieces?
About two to three weeks. Your work needs to dry, be bisque-fired, glazed, then fired a second time. We will message you as soon as yours are out of the kiln, and you collect them from the studio in Osborne Park.
Do I need any experience?
None at all. Most of our guests have never touched clay before. You get a demonstration first, then hands-on guidance the whole way through, and with only four people in the room there is plenty of attention to go around.
Can I choose the wheel instead of hand building?
Yes. On the day, tell us whether you would like to try wheel throwing, hand building, or painting and glazing an existing piece, and we will set you up for it. If you already know what you want, let us know when you book.
See more FAQs   
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, with an adult alongside them. There is a child ticket and a combined adult and child ticket so you can work side by side. Enclosed shoes and clothes that can get messy are a must for everyone.
Can I book it for a birthday or a group?
Every booking is private, so the studio is yours either way. A session takes up to four guests. If you have a bigger group or a specific date in mind, send through a request and we will let you know what we can do.
