School Holidays Pottery Class for Kids

Make your own creative & colourful ceramics



7 to 14 years     75 mins Location Matraville Class size 3 to 4 guests   $75 (Afterpay available)

This creative pottery experience includes a bundle of pottery activities, such as the pottery wheel, sculpting, and painting the finished pieces.
Children will start the class at the pottery wheel, where they will be guided to create a small bowl or plate. The young artists will then experiment with freely forming the clay to sculpt different objects and ornaments to decorate their pot. Finally they will use ceramic paints to add colours to their design.
By the end of the class, each child will make a colourful trinket dish with small ornaments of their choice. Children will leave their artwork for glazing and kiln-firing (included in the price) and the finished pieces will be ready for collection approximately two weeks after the class.
What you'll get
Each child will make one pottery piece which will be glazed and kiln-fired (included in the price). It takes approximately two weeks for the pieces to be ready for collection.
Knowledge required
No previous experience is required.
What to bring
It is recommended that children wear closed shoes and clothes that they don't mind getting clay on.

I'm a somatic clay therapist offering mindfulness-based pottery classes and one-on-one therapy sessions in a calm and welcoming studio.
Before finding my way to clay, I spent several years in academia, completing a PhD in psychology and teaching at university. I began working with clay as a hobby, and over time, what started as a personal mindfulness practice evolved into a professional calling, leading me to train as a Clay Field® therapist.
I started Wheelfulness in 2019, and since then it has become known for its personalised approach that cultivates somatic mindfulness at the pottery wheel. Now, from my new studio in Matraville, I continue to offer small-group pottery classes alongside one-on-one clay therapy sessions.
