FAQs Something else
FAQs Something else
Q: How long does it take to fire my piece?
It usually takes around 5-6 weeks to fire, but make sure you keep your eyes on our pick-up page so know when it’s ready. As we have HUNDREDS of students, we can only keep your work for 6 weeks after it’s fired. After this time it will be donated to raise funds for our community kiln.
Q: How many pieces can I make in my class?
The ticket price includes glazing and firing of ONE finished piece (to be picked up from our studio), any extra pieces can be glazed and fired at $25/piece). We also offer delivery of your ceramics, if you can’t make it back to our studio! Delivery is $15/piece, or we can package them all up for a set price - please email us.
Q: What if I or my guests are late or forget about the class?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer make-up sessions or refunds if you are late or forget. Should you arrive late, we will not be able to extend your time period, so it’s best to ask guests to arrive 5-10 mins early... although not too early as we won’t be ready for you! Doors open 10 mins before class begins, and you will not be able to enter before this. This includes set up time. In studio classes have set times to allow change over between classes, and for the mountains of production work we need to get through. Our lovely tutors make it clear how much time is left in a class, and our classes have lots of time to complete your work, however, should your guests not leave within 15 mins of the end of the class, you will be invoiced $150 for each additional 30 min block of time our tutors need to stay behind.
Q: What if we go to the wrong studio?
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer make up sessions or refunds if you go to the wrong studio. We have two sudios - one in Marrickville, and one in Enmore. Please ensure your guests have the correct address. Fortunately, each studio is a 5-10 min drive from each other, so you shouldn’t miss too much of the class.
Q: What if I make a total turd of a pot?
Well, we can’t all be good at everything, all the time, amirite? Whilst our tutors are top guns at getting the best out of folks, sometimes the clay just doesn’t want to play the game, and your Pinterest dreams may not be met. Clay is a cruel mistress. You just gotta take it on the chin and try again.
Q: What happens if my piece cracks in the kiln?
Clay Sydney is not responsible for a piece cracking, breaking, exploding or any other type of unsatisfactory result after firing. Cracks happen.
Q: How will I know when my piece is ready to pick up?
Jump online to to the pickup page of our website. You can pick up on behalf of everyone in your classes, but you need to have photos. Alternatively, we can mail all items to one location. There is an additional cost for this option.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 7 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 1.5 hours, $95 - $98 per guest ($98 per guest when you book for 6+ guests, $95/guest for 11+ guests)

What you'll do
This is the class everyone thinks about when they hear ‘pottery class’, but we promise there won’t be an awkward Swayze moment in sight. It’s a muddy road to making your first wobbly wheel-thrown piece, but you’ll have a blast along the way. Our expert wheel tutors take you through the process step-by-step and make sure that everyone comes away making at least one piece. You’re more than welcome to bring along a drinkie or two, although for this class we don’t recommend nibbles. You’re too engrossed in the muddy task at hand to eat (and probably don’t want a soggy clay cracker either).
info
This class is not available for purchase
What you'll get
What will this piece look like? You decide, but usually, it’s a small cup, vase, bowl, or planter. This class includes one piece, which is fired and ready for you to pick up around 5-6 weeks later. If you’d like to keep more than one item, then we’ll happily fire and glaze them for $25 an item. Yes, it’s functional - you can pop it in the microwave/dishwasher or plant a happy plant in it.Please note, weekend wheel classes can accomodate up to 10 participants. Weekday wheel classes can accomodate up to 20 participants.
