Join us to try out the pottery wheel these holidays!
Your child will have the opportunity to explore wheel throwing with the guidance of our expert teachers in a small group of 6 students.
This is a one-off session and you can take your favourite piece home to dry. Children are welcome to book in for a second session (on the same day or on a different day), or into our 'Decorating and Finishing class' if they would like to keep working on their creations once the clay has hardened a little. For the second session, they would bring back their artwork and we’ll guide them on ways to complete it, for example, by adding colours and textures, repairing any cracks and refining small details. After a second session, when the works are finished off, we can fire and glaze them for an additional $15/child. This can be decided on the day.
Our 'Decorating and Finishing class' is a one hour session.
Come along and learn the joys of clay!

Located at iconic Bondi Beach, Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio nurtures creativity, wellbeing and community through clay.
The Studio is run by Agatha Pupaher and Leanne Berelowitz in partnership with Waverley Council. Agatha co-founded and currently manages Sydney Clay Studio, a creative space and kiln firing service in St Peters. Agatha is a ceramic artist and educator who is passionate about sharing her love of clay. Leanne has a BFA in ceramics and glass from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and a Master of Cross-disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW Art and Design, Sydney. She has been teaching ceramics for 15 years. Both Leanne and Agatha are practising ceramic artists who exhibit their work in group and collaborative exhibitions. In addition, they have both worked in former careers; Agatha, as a child and family psychologist, and Leanne, as a registered nurse. They value each other’s transferable skills and expertise in working with people of all ages, and draw on them for their art teaching.
Agatha and Leanne value deep learning and making, and aim to help students create space to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. Hands, head and heart working together to bring ideas to life. They teach the classes along with a small team of passionate tutors and ceramic artists who share a similar slow approach to creating/working with clay. While pottery/ceramics is about making things, their teaching approach is to initially fixate less on the outcome, and focus on building skills and developing techniques through creative exploration.
