So you have already discovered the wonderful world of wheel-thrown pottery; now is the chance to take the next step and learn a bit more.
During the four 2.5-hour classes, our experienced teachers will guide you through each step of creating beautiful handmade pottery on the wheel. Participants can expect to create mugs, bowls, and plates along with other items along the way. Staff will bisque fire students’ work at the end of week 4, so you can then return at your leisure to glaze your pieces. We will complete a final glaze firing within 4 weeks of the course end, at which point we contact you to collect your food-safe, dishwasher-safe, oven- & microwave-safe items!
A 10 kg block of white stoneware clay, firing, and dipping glazes are all included in this class. All you need is your toolkit and the enthusiasm to succeed.
We limit this class to 6 people to ensure everyone has the necessary support of the teacher to best learn the techniques. The courses sell out quickly, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Please note: this is a class designed for adults who have completed either a Wheel Taster or 4-week course, and we do not allow bookings for children under the age of 16.
What you will learn:
Week One
  • Re-cap demonstration on wedging and centering
  • Making shapes from cylinders to form mugs
  • How to form medium-sized bowls
Week Two
  • Turn all pieces made in week one
  • Learn how to pull, roll, extrude, and cut handles
  • Learn how to correctly attach handles to mugs
Week Three

Week Four

At the end of the four weeks, you are welcome to book into a further class free of charge to glaze your pieces in the studio glazes or in glazes of your choice that you can purchase from the studio or online.

Our studio is a place where there are very few rules except to respect your fellow artists, their work, and the studio, to relax and learn that there is no end to the possibilities when working with clay.
At SaJo Ceramics you can...
Join a casual pottery class or social pottery & ceramics session; take a workshop to have a go at the pottery wheel, take one of our 6-week courses to learn the basics of throwing, or just use our Melbourne studio facilities on a casual basis. Discover beautiful stoneware handmade tiles for a unique splashback or outdoor wall feature or make your own! Explore a huge catalogue of ceramic pieces to paint in both acrylic paints and fired finishes, made to order from vintage and modern bisque designs. Buy handmade tile blanks for your school or community project, ready for you to paint, carve, or decorate, or just drop in and chat with fellow artists while enjoying a cuppa.
