  • 5/5 from Lena Nor, attended Sep 2026: The class was really fun! The taught basic techniques which were really useful when I made my clay piece.
  • 5/5 from Eiman Ahmed, attended Sep 2026: I loved the place and we managed to make it look beautiful and our artist was amazing and cooperative. I loved that after getting instructions we were free to do what we wanted while also being able to seek guidance from our artist whenever.
  • 5/5 from Demi Avdalis, attended Aug 2026: Teacher was great! Super helpful and kind, very attentive but also allowed us to do our own thing too. We could play our own music and could order at the bar too. Had a really fun time, definitley recommend.
  • 4/5 from Victoria, attended Aug 2026: was a really cute class! was great as an activity with family and friends. would suggest maybe to have some music on in the background! ◡̈
  • 5/5 from Etty Ayalon, attended Jul 2026: Our team had the best fun at Sip and Sculpt. Their team pulled our the red carpert literally! The vibe was fun. We all got creative and discovered each other's talents. It's a great location at such a cool venue!
  • 5/5 from Dominique Abela, attended Jul 2026: Great class! Enjoyed myself so much! The instructor was very warm and friendly and gave good suggestions. Would recommend and visit again!
  • 5/5 from Olivia K Coburn, attended Jul 2026: Super chill class the teacher was very nice and not stingy with the clay it’s nice if you and friends want to catch up and have a glass of wine. It’s in a big warehouse thought so wear warm clothes in the winter
  • 5/5 from Jordan Pocock, attended May 2026: Such a lovely set up and great teachers!
  • 5/5 from Gabrielle Kennedy, attended May 2026: Jasmine was an excellent teacher! I really enjoyed the freedom to draw inspiration from other works or to make anything we could imagine. Will definitely be recommending to friends!
  • 5/5 from Liat Guttman, attended May 2026: I attended this pottery workshop with my daughter, and it was a wonderful way to spend quality time together. The teacher was warm, professional, and very encouraging. She offered support and helpful feedback throughout the session and really helped us bring our ideas to life. The venue was beautiful with a great atmosphere, making the experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. We both had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it.
  • 1/5 from Alana Redmond, attended May 2026: A bit disappointing. No drink as advertised and not what we were expecting. Probably wouldn’t do again on. Don’t waste your money everyone.
  • 5/5 from Rachelle Paine, attended Apr 2026: Was very chill and fun, a nice calm and friendly environment. our teacher was so lovely
  • 3/5 from Christeen Hodgson, attended Feb 2026: As much fun as I had, I think that there needs to be more tools supplied for creating pieces with clay. Very limited with the tools. I also found that it was misleading being called sip and sculpt, had this experience given as a present and believed it was a sip and sculpt, but found out later when they that the sip was not included. Even though the email stated it was.
  • 5/5 from Nathaniel Moss, attended Jan 2026: So chill! So relaxed and can make anything we want. It was lovely!
  • 4/5 from Pam Farrelly, attended Jan 2026: The venue for this class was hidden in a laneway with lots of artwork to entice people in. Our teacher, Van, was lovely (maybe a little nervous) and encouraged us to just go with the flow and feel of the clay. This made the session rather cathartic. This was a gift from the family and was easy to access. The only disappointment was the late provision of the snack pack that was paid for. A little prior preparation would have made this just right.
  • 4/5 from Janine Elkington, attended Jan 2026: Really enjoyed our clay class today. The teacher was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this glass to others
  • 5/5 from Jasmina Bojadzieva, attended Nov 2025: We had our xmas work function at their location in South Melbourne and had a great time. would recommend for large or small groups to visit them.
  • 1/5 from Joanna Potts, attended Nov 2025: No quirky plant pots in sight. No instruction or direction. Halfway through the ‘class’ after dismantling my creations a number of times, I asked how to use the tools to my creative advantage without any guidance. A little later while cleaning up from the previous class, we were offered some inspirational handouts and a book (to read?) no eftpos to pay for our sip and no music, no byo. Would not recommend paying the cost to receive a lump of clay.
  • 5/5 from Cara Tremewen, attended Oct 2025: We did a quirky clay pots making class with a group of 10 colleagues! We had an absolute ball. It was great because the teacher ran through how to make them, gave us some tips and then left us to create our own. She would then just check in with us. Helen was fabulous in organising the event. We were able to stay and relax in the lounge after our class was finished which we were super grateful for. Great few hours and a super cute space!
  • 4/5 from William Hardy, attended Sep 2025: We were celebrating my partners birthday! The group of us had a great time sculpting and chatting, and with the tools and inspo pictures there we all made some unique pots, plates, and figurines. ARTea were super helpful in helping plan this surprise party, and were very responsive to any questions I had when booking. Thanks for a great afternoon!
  • 3/5 from Siobhan Cook, attended Sep 2025: The instructor walked off after giving maybe 6 minutes of instructions because she had to “run an errand” for 10 minutes. Left us very confused as to if she had finished her pot plant demo and if we could start our own creations. The tools were never explained, we had to rummage through the trolley for fishing line/tools/stamps on our own. Just felt a bit chaotic and unorganised. Would have been nice when she said she was going to take photos of us for social media, if she had offered to take a photo of the groups. Also no one checked our tickets so we could have just walked off the street.
  • 5/5 from Dana Cutajar, attended Aug 2025: Fun classes with lots of help for beginners! Free to make whatever you’d like to
  • 4/5 from Paris Tsiros, attended Aug 2025: Had such a fun time at Sip and Sculpt! The vibe was relaxed, the instructors were friendly, and the creative atmosphere made it easy to just enjoy the process (even if you’re a beginner). Loved having a drink in hand while making something with clay – will definitely be back!
  • 3/5 from Sophie Mellor, attended Aug 2025: The teacher was lovely and really informative and helpful. However, the vibe/atmosphere wasn’t there at all, I had paid for a cocktail and wasn’t offered it, and had forgotten about it. As much as the activity itself was relaxing, I can’t say it was worth the money.
  • 5/5 from Karl Wilmore, attended Jul 2025: Jasmine was wonderful … true coach It was great to chill as a team Great atmosphere
  • 5/5 from Jenny Liu, attended Jul 2025: Had an amazing time! Thank you
  • 4/5 from Michelle Mihalj, attended Jul 2025: Fun class! Easy instructions!
  • 5/5 from Gemma, attended Jun 2025: Our teacher Vans, was amazing! Encouraged our creativity and we all ended up making some really cool pieces to take home.
  • 5/5 from Amber Judd, attended Jun 2025: Vans was an amazing teacher, perfect level of guidance and she was super fun. Lots of freedom to be super creative with what we made. Would highly recommend.
  • 4/5 from Maddison Jackson, attended Jun 2025: Great fun! Definitely found it a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Something to experience with a friend or in a group. I made a jewellery dish.
  • 4/5 from Manju Deepthi, attended Jun 2025: We really enjoyed the class. Thanks Jasmine for helping us. It was a lovely place to visit with group friends
  • 4/5 from Debbie Lang, attended Jun 2025: We received a gift card so we thought we’d give clay a go. We made chickens. We thought that the venue was very dark and needed to have more light. The teachers were knowledgeable however didn’t seem to be around the whole time. Overall we had a fun time and would recommend the class.
  • 3/5 from Gabriela Cretu, attended Jun 2025: Likes: Nice location, plenty of space Fun way of spending time with the friends Overall we had a good time Dislikes: Cold in the room (winter time). Not that fun to make pots with the winter jacket on, and a high risk to get it dirty. Lack of specific guidance - mostly received the materials and some printed papers with models. Lack of instructions in using some of the tools and techniques. There was no sip. Probably that's my fault because I didn't select the right package, but why call it Sip and Sculpt in the first place then. At least a warm tea or a glass of water would have been nice.
  • 5/5 from Hannah White, attended May 2025: We had a fantastic time sculpting our creations. Great location with a relaxed setting. Will definitely be doing it again!
  • 5/5 from Georgia Koromilas, attended May 2025: It was lots of fun! Such a great activity to focus on something new and socialise! Teachers were great and lots of flexibility around what you’d like to make
  • 5/5 from Natalie Ryan, attended May 2025: We had a great team building night making clay items at ARTea! Our teacher, Jasmine was warm and friendl and extremely hepful when some of us could not get our clay creations going. She helped us where we needed it and left us alone to chat and make cute sculptures in the meantime. The space was gorgeous, set up with fairy lights, floral arrangements and just a lovely atmosphere. I would 100% come back to ARTea or to have a class with Jasmine. Thank you for a great class!
  • 5/5 from Pip Dicks, attended May 2025: A great venue and lovely teachers! A really perfect afternoon for celebrations or special moments
  • 5/5 from Caitilin Maguire, attended May 2025: Teacher was very helpful and we had the freedom to make whatever we wanted with the tips given! Would definitely recommend for a fun Sunday afternoon activity!
  • 5/5 from Elissa Jess, attended Apr 2025: My partner and I had an amazing evening making clay pots. Lots of fun and came away with a sentimental keepsake!
  • 5/5 from Roongrat, attended Apr 2025: We loved it! Lots of fun The teacher was very informative and the clay was so much fun to play with
  • 5/5 from Kristina Milone, attended Apr 2025: We really enjoyed the class! The instructor gave us great tips and offered help when required. Such a fun atmosphere we would do this class again!
  • 5/5 from Hilary Hunt, attended Apr 2025: The sip and sculpt was great fun! Lovely helpful teachers, great atmosphere, and lots of freedom with a bunch of fun examples.
  • 5/5 from Lara Carman, attended Apr 2025: Had a great time, lots of clay available to make the pot you needed/wanted. However, more time would have been better to create a more finished product rather than feeling a little rushed and maybe more equipment on the table so you didn't have to share with everyone and had more room to create. Host was lovely and amazing, drinks were delicious!
  • 4/5 from Emillie King, attended Apr 2025: Loved making pinch pots. Would have been nice to do something a little more challenging in the time though.
  • 3/5 from Nicole Gordon, attended Apr 2025: Too many people for just one teacher. No guidance given. Disappointing class.
  • 5/5 from Kristianne Anthony, attended Mar 2025: Jasmine was so friendly, easy going and so accommodating to our group. We wish we had more time to keep creating under her guidance. I know we would have spent more on the bar if so because her cocktails were delicious Would have loved a pay in cash option for the class but completely understood booking in advance through card. We absolutely adored the space and would definitely recommend to group booking and will look at activities to do there again
  • 5/5 from Priyanka Trivedi, attended Mar 2025: We all loved the vibes, the collaboration from the staff and it was just lovely.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Franklyn, attended Mar 2025: Great location, fun class and Jasmine looked after us.
  • 3/5 from Barbara Uren, attended Mar 2025: I was disappointed in that there was no real guidance or supervision or even illustrations on what you might make. For someone with no creative bent I found it boring.
  • 5/5 from Kaitlyn Storz, attended Feb 2025: We loved the class! The instructor was great with helpful tips but also just letting us do our thing as well. Highly reccomend!
