Was such a fun introductory class, George was so helpful and made the experience fun and easy to learn - highly recommend for first time pottery students

Steven Chye Apr 2024


Was for a group activity and we loved it! Very good the instructor taught us well and gave us a lot of assistance where needed and explained each step! Fun class and enjoyed the jokes he made!

Shi Ying Yong Apr 2024


Super fun quick and easy class as an introduction to pottery wheel throwing.

George our instructor had a great sense of humour and really tried to ensure that we have fun during the class. Take note that the end result as-is is $0 but the white glaze is an additional $10 and the cracked glaze in a light jade green colour is an additional $15.

Chris Tan Apr 2024


We were slightly late to the class. The teacher rang us to confirm we were actually coming and waited for us. The class was very hands-on, and the teacher clear with the instructions. Everything you need is provided. I will definitely do this again.

Maddie Hamilton Apr 2024


We had an absolute blast with George. Awesome teacher and a really fun experience! Definitely recommend.

Very good the kids have a lot of fun. Can't wait to pick up now

Preeti Ramesh Apr 2024


It’s a fun class during school holidays. Teacher could be a little more slow in explaining.

Ninevah Dawood Apr 2024


I did this experience with my fiancé and we had so much fun.
We went in there with the intention of creating a ceramic bottle with absolutely no experience and the instructor was very helpful in making it with us and giving us the right techniques.
We would absolutely do this again!

Sue Boyd Apr 2024


Absolutely fabulous class!

Our teacher kept us engaged throughout the lesson and was a brilliant mix of informative, helpful and funny.

Every level of ability is catered for, and definitely a valued for money experience.

Heidi Goosen Apr 2024


A great way to spend the afternoon. The lecturer was really helpful and it was a fun and atmosphere. Location is easy to find.

Jamie Do Apr 2024


My daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was very happy with the results. Our teacher was friendly and was helpful throughout the process. We definitely would recommend the class to family and friends.

Sabrina Luo Apr 2024


My daughter and I had a great weekend afternoon there. We will go back there.

Marc San Diego Apr 2024


We came here to try Pottery throwing for the first time. Teacher is fun and very helpful. Our overall experience definitely wants us to come back and learn more.

Smera Gera Apr 2024


The teacher is really nice. I wanted to try pottery for a long time and it was a very good experience. The place is very close to train station, so that is an added advantage. I will go again in future.

Amy Shan Apr 2024


Very kids friendly! We had a good time! The clay they provided was good quality.

Stephanie Herreen Apr 2024


Our teacher was very polite and friendly. Super patient and helpful. He helped us all individually.

Kellie Nguyen Apr 2024


Easygoing, made the environment bright and was helpful when we struggled a bit to do the pottery

William Moore Apr 2024


Short review - 5* amazing!

Long review - I booked the wrong date (a week early) and they changed the date no fuss without charge - amazing service. The class itself was really fun and engaging, the guy running it was really funny and super helpful throughout. It was easy enough to catch on and had some difficulty to it that made it a challenge and interesting. Very laid back fun and well worth the money. Will be back!

Christine Apr 2024


Everything was perfect and easy to understand. It was also very fun! Teacher was extremely kind and helpful!

Lena Ma Apr 2024


Our teacher had a very easy to approach personality. He was always quick to answer any question and also helped us out even after many repeated mistakes. I love how patient and experienced he was. Thank you for sharing this experience with us :)

Alexandra Cifone Apr 2024


Enjoyed the class with my partner, learned about the clay and methods which was a good educational piece. Instructor was also humorous as well which made it fun.

Gemma Lawrence Apr 2024


This was a really fun activity and the teacher took the time to ensure we across the techniques and took home a finished product. Was good value for money and will do again (this was my second time). So convenient too being right near the station, good eateries, perfect afternoon out with friends.

Tegan Rosta Apr 2024


Really great class, teacher was a lot of fun and very helpful through the whole process.

Ann Kalluzhathil Apr 2024


Fun way to spend time with friends. The teacher was super helpful and made us excited to keep playing with clay. You do have to pay additional for glazing as its not included.

Leyla Jeizan Apr 2024


Really enjoyed the class, the teacher was very friendly and added more to the environment.

Casey Tuong Apr 2024


Took my sister for her bday - teacher was very bubbly, helpful and patient.

Had lots of fun and would recommend for a first timer!

Luna Chown Apr 2024


The teacher was absolutely awesome. He was high energy, funny, learned and very hands on confident in teaching. Made me and my husband feel very welcomed. At no point in the session we're we made to feel dumb or incompetent.
We were given an apron to wear and provided with around 400g of clay. We were taught how to centre the clay as well as how to mould it into a cup/bowl.
We definitely had fun and have recommended the class to friends and family. We most definitely will do more classes.

Sham Vashanthan Apr 2024


The class was good overall! My partner and i had a great time and we wanted to try something new together so this was really good! The place was easy to find and is a convenient walk from the train station. It was really good value for money too. I did think that it was hard sometimes to understand the instructor though but overall was a good experience!

Daniel Giezekamp Apr 2024


Tonnes of fun! Instructor was bubbly and hilarious, made for a great environment to make wonderful thrown pieces!

Sung Wang Apr 2024


You don’treally learn much about pottery skills, as it runs only for 1.5hr for a large class. We had to wait the teacher to fix all pieces one by one. In the end, he was the one doing all the job. The teacher was lovely, tho.

Grace Montano Mar 2024


It was fun yet lacking. The clay given was small so you can only make small items too.

Julie Ju Gregory Mar 2024


It was my birthday present from my Son and we did the class together. We both really enjoyed learning and felt encouraged and supported by our lovely teacher. My favourite bit was the sensation of feeling the clay transform under your hands. I also enjoyed watching our teacher as he moulded the clay expertly. Thank you

Vesna Danilovic Mar 2024


We had a wonderful time and a good laugh. The teacher was very fun and he was fast and went around to each person’s clay to help them if it completely shattered to bits and they had to re-start again. We want to go back again and do another piece.

The class was super fun! The instructor was knowledgeable, guiding us through each step with clear instructions and demonstrations. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, allowing everyone to unleash their creativity without feeling intimidated. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to discover the joy of working with clay

Alice Tang Mar 2024


The teacher was amazing at ensuring everyone left with a satisfactory experience! I liked the brief rundown on pottery history, types of clay, ways of designing (glaze, paint, etc) that was said at the start as it prepared me for how to actually use the clay. The teacher made sure that everyone was reminded that they came to the class to have fun and not worry about being too perfectionist as we were only beginners - he also said that it's okay if we ended up not being good at this because we're good at other things, which I found very nice and reassuring. Everyone was helped out individually and the teacher also made it very clear that he was more than happy to take photos of us on our phones if we wanted some while working with the clay.

The place might be slightly hard to find as it's a single door to stairs leading upwards, so make sure to look out for their sign!

Additionally, there are a few choices at the end of the class:
- $15 for cracked glaze
- $10 for transparent glaze
- painting (from memory, i think this is another class?)
- leave plain, unglazed

Fauzia Hussein Mar 2024


A great class with the host shedding insight into the basics of pottery knowledge. Definitely recommend for anyone trying to find something creative and non-intensive to do.

Kristen Zerna Mar 2024


Came to do pottery with my daughter and sister. It was fun and therapeutic! Definitely value for money and would love to do it again with friends.

Pottery class review by Kristen Zerna - Sydney

Kiran Tam Feb 2024


Loved the vibe and teacher. Great experience in making pottery on a wheel, learning some basics and then having some time and freedom to make what we want. Need to wait a few weeks for clay to be fired and ready to pick up which is no problem, however glazing would cost extra.

Alexandra Spencer-Brown Feb 2024


All items needed were provided. It was alot of fun. The interaction between the instructor and us was very entertaining. He was very helpful and encouraging to beginners. I would actually love to return and tray another class.
The only negative, is the wait I have to receive my completed item, but given the item I understand.

Mega Watts Feb 2024


Devin was super engaging, very helpful and informative. It was a fun class! Great value for money.

Jade O'Donnell Feb 2024


thoroughly enjoyed the experience. would love to be able to paint it but dont kow how that actually works. very helpful teacher.

i love the feeling of the clay also sorry i knocked over the water bucket (maybe a bit more space in the room would be good).

otherwise will come back

Dheeraj Arutla Feb 2024


Great lesson with a very energetic teacher who has happy to help everyone out would definitely come again

Emily Wong Feb 2024


Teacher was great and the class was fun! We arrived a bit late on our fault but the time allocated was still enough. Can't wait to pick up my cup. Unglazed clay is for free, clear glaze is $10, blue glaze is $15

Natasha Singh Gallardo Feb 2024


Amazing class Our teacher was very kind, friendly, patient & funny & we learnt how to craft pottery! Will definitely come again to gain better skills. It was definitely worth our time & money, enjoyed our pottery date heaps! Thanks so much

Yinyee Ho Feb 2024


I think it started well in the beginning but towards the end, almost everyone’s piece was made by the teacher. I think learning the techniques at the beginning helped but I wish the class was more structured so that you could make what you wanted from what you learnt. I don’t think the teacher should do everything for us.

As for the teacher, he had amazing energy and was good at explaining things.

There wasn’t much clay too. By the end of the class, a lot of my clay was gone from practicing the techniques.

It would be better to set the expectations before going into the class so you know how it’s run and what you get out of it (in greater details).

Talia O'Neill Feb 2024


The teacher was lovely, and accomodating and the class was very easy to follow.

It was a lot of fun!

Graziella Toumblaris Feb 2024


Great first class in pottery making heaps of fun get messy rewarding results. Great for birthday parties or just friends outing.

Nicola Mathieson Feb 2024


Fun day. Very happy, helpful and polite nstuctor. Thank you for a great and amazing day!

Christiana Boutros Jan 2024


The class was really good and the instructor was so lovely and helpful. You do learn how to throw and spin clay however you don’t really have time to the creative, adding texture or paint or glaze your item. I wish the course was slightly longer and more expensive and you paint your item and have some creative freedom. However for the price point you pay it is a great course very fun.

Kyla Verry Pangilinan Jan 2024


Highly recommend, enjoyed and great way to meet new people and humble yourself with a challenging experience.

Devin was great! We had great fun at his class. Super calm and always look to help out! Thanks Devin!

Estee Neoh Jan 2024


Class is fun, the teacher gave us some basic knowledge on clay, and let us have some hands on experience on different shaping method. The teacher also helped to shape if something went wrong throughout the process. Overall great experience!

Julie Glayjo Jan 2024


The class was fun and teacher was friendly. Though out of 1.5 hrs almost 30 mins were gone on other stuff so wish we got more time to learn and play with the clay. But overall very good experience and my daughter and I really enjoyed the activity.

Naomi Johnson Jan 2024


Devon was amazing, so kind and helpful! He made the class enjoyable and would highly recommend

Roanna Chan Jan 2024


Invited my invited family for a group activity! Such a fun class- it was great value and the instructor was helpful and so funny, we definitely weren't naturals but somehow he fixed our designs last minute and we'll be looking forward to picking those up when they've been fired. I think compared to another class we didn't do as much (the other one had us throw two balls of clay), however this was unmatched in value and a great introduction if you just wanted a relaxing interactive afternoon activity. Would highlight recommend!

Camila Arantes Jan 2024


It was a really fun class
Easy to learn, we’ve got a lot of fun .
I’ve got as a Christmas gift for my sister in law and we enjoyed it so much.
Thank you

Leila Lobina Jan 2024


Enjoyable experience however would have been more helpful if instructor had a wheel to demonstrate on

Anne Houghton Jan 2024


Teacher was fun and engaging. Everyone ended up with something to collect at later date. Would have liked feedback how to keep it on the wheel.

We enjoyed the class, it’s alot harder than we thought but we had fun

Joanne Green Jan 2024


The teacher had a great sense of humour and very good at his craft. My teenage daughter and I had a great time. It was topped off by having a lot of great food at Chinatown. Would recommend the class and its location. A great cultural experience.

Jennifer Pike Jan 2024


The experience was great, we got some background into pottery and glazing. Instructor was patient and helpful and led us through the processes. Nothing was rushed, a good amount of wheel time. A fun class to take!

Stacey Michell Jan 2024


Loved this experience, the teacher was great and helpful. Just too many people in the class for him to help keep the class moving smoothly.
Would do again.

Renuka Raghu Jan 2024


Didn’t really enjoy it, I enrolled to destress, make friends and have fun.
I found it very hard to understand what the teacher said as I’m hearing impaired.
I also found the participants very unfriendly, they wouldn’t even introduce themselves let alone smile or say hello, not really a relaxing and fun experience for me, too stressful.

Teacher's response

Sorry for this, Our teachers arrange for you to sit in the nearest seat and give you more help and explanations than others. We treat and respect each of our customers seriously and try our best to meet the customer's needs, but we cannot do it because of the customer's personal characteristics. To negate our efforts, we are very sorry that we cannot give you a refund. Thank you for giving us a one-star review. I wish you all the best in the new year.

Jerome Jayasekera Jan 2024


Great time together with the family. The instructor was super helpful and patient with our many mistakes. Looking forward to completing our pottery with paint and glaze.

Very fun class - we learnt how to use the pottery wheel and made a small ceramic piece. The instructor goes around helping us which was great. I loved that we could get coloured glaze (cracked blue) as an option for $15. Would do again!

Enthusiastic teacher and great lesson. Easy to find the location and has everything for the class.

Marcelo D Dec 2023


Got to make 1 pottery item the size of your palm.
Friendly teacher and pleasant experience. One teacher to large group of 10+ so limited teacher support over the 1.5hrs session for learners or first timers not ideal.
Additional support teacher and more time would have been 5 star review.
Option given to come back to paint class using your item + 1- reasonable offer to consider coming back.

George was a great teacher, really passionate and knowledgeable about pottery. Gave us some great background and examples all through the class. The class environment was fun and low stress, George gave individual support to all of us and helped us fix some accidents too! Highly recommended.

Nicole Alcantara Nov 2023


The teacher was so helpful and patient! He gave everyone one-on-one assistance and made a very relaxed and fun environment. The place is small but cosy and cute. I really enjoyed and I loved the different options of glaze that you get at the end if you choose to. I'm so excited to pick up my piece next month!

The teacher was very friendly and explained things well. I enjoyed the explanation/history about clay at the beginning of the class.

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023


I had a great morning attending this class. George was great with teaching the techniques (and entertaining!) without rushing it. By the end of the class, I was able to make a small cup. This class was value for money, as you get a taste for what wheel throwing is like, all material is supplied, and you can take the your creation home a couple of weeks later. All in all, great to explore a new activity and getting creative!

Anonymised ClassBento student Oct 2023


George was funny and it was a fun class. I'd love to have more time for demos and to practice with the clay, it went by quickly. It's quite a large class so there's not much individual time. Thank you for helping us to save the work when it didn't turn out properly!

Note: glazing your work will cost $10-15 extra

Manasi Rao Oct 2023


Loved your work George. Extremely funny. And a good class for beginners. Will recommend others to check this out as well. Good value for money too.

Susan Ng Oct 2023


This was a really fun class, really enjoyed it. Location was easy to find. Materials all provided, no need to bring an apron.

George was great, he was funny and really helpful. Made the class interesting and even learnt some facts about pottery before we started. He would explain each step to us at a time and then after we tried it he came over to us one at a time to help us fix the clay up a bit, this was really helpful. At the very end you could just work on making your own shape. Additional costs to glaze your work.

Definitely worth the money though. Highly recommend this class if you just want to try out pottery and have some fun.

Mitchell Guldemond Oct 2023


It was a lot of fun, the teacher George was really funny and helpful when we mucked up, and the time flew by. I can't wait to pick up our pieces in a month and use them everyday and remember the fun day. We will definitely be back.

Harley Oct 2023


The teacher was great, my partner had trouble making her pottery, however the teacher was calm and always willing to help fix it.

The experience was great and i would do it again, however there were some people who slowed the class down, due to intentionally not listening to the teacher and trying to do it themselves.

It was a wonderful birthday experience for my partner/girlfriend.

Overall we had fun , it was great value for money and we wouldnt mind doing it again, i cannot wait to see how my peice turned out.

Matt Oct 2023


I really enjoyed this wonderful class, the instructor was clear in his teaching. Thanks again!

Vanessa Li Oct 2023


George was an incredibly helpful instructor who gave us plenty of hands-on practice with the clay. As a beginner, I really appreciated his emphasis on having fun!

Thank you George!

Thank you so much for the experience

Will go again.

Rudson Machado Sep 2023


The teacher have a lot of experience but I just found a bit "rush" it go for 1 hour and half instead of 2 hours. will be nice if they could set up a "vibe" with some music or ask if someone would like a water.

I enjoy it and was fun

Jessica Sep 2023


I enjoyed the class and learnt a lot about pottery. We were taught different techniques on how to show the clay however it was sometimes difficult to understand as English was the instructors second language. Overall good class and came out with a vase.

Rafa Rahman Sep 2023

Anonymised ClassBento student Sep 2023


The teacher, George, is such great value. He's an awesome teacher, and so funny and personable.
The venue was easy to find, with plenty of street parking nearby.
The provided clay was fun and easy to work with, and having the option for firing and glazing our pots as an add-on was great.
I think George could teach absolutely anyone how to throw clay, and I definitely recommend this class. 10/10!

Vasundhara Deepak Sep 2023


The class was good. The class was conducted by Mr. George, who gave a lot of information about various types of clay and a background on where it is coming from and where it is being used. During the whole time, instructions were given on how to handle the clay and how to get into the various shapes, like cyclinder, cone, etc.
The space is small, parking I was able to get one easily. Plan to come a bit ahead to look for parking. The glazing of our finished item is done at an extra cost, which will be explained during the class. George helped his way through the class, and he even assisted in making our product into a better shape. Overall, it was a great experience for any one who doesn't have a pottery experience.

The class was ever better than I imagined! We learnt the basics of pottery throwing and got to make our own creations. I’m going back to pick it up in 5 weeks after it is dried and glazed. A clear glaze costs a further $10 and a blue crackle glaze is $15 which is what I opted for. And if you want to finish up your work, trimming and painting and glazing it is another class that you can take afterwards as well.

First time ever doing pottery for both my husband and I. We really really enjoyed it- the instructor was fantastic and knew what he was doing. Such a great experience- we decided to sign up to the painting class and already can’t wait

Great class, super funny instructor and great value for money. Instructor provided great knowledge in pottery, kind and hilarious. Learnt how to correctly mold shapes to own liking. Only thing I would like is more time to play around with the clay to practice ourselves before we continue to next step, but I guess it’s difficult to cram everything in 1.5hrs.

This was a great beginners intro to pottery! George was an engaging and enthusiastic teacher who took us through the basics and helped perfect our creation.

The teacher was great very informative. He gave a little too much information at the being of the class.
The venue was good and appropriate. No lift although, up some steep steps
The materials were great and all necessary tools were provided.
The class was a little bit expensive for what we got
George, the teacher showed us all how to use our hands to mode the clay.
I enjoyed modelling the clay the best.

It was very nice and good to something different ! Love the energy from the instructor

Isabelle Thompson Jul 2023


George was an excellent teacher! He was humorous and made the class comfortable and welcoming. It felt relaxing to create this artwork how we wanted, and to be reminded that mistakes are welcome in this beginner's class of fun! George explained the methods of Pottery Wheel Throwing in a fun and easy way. This is a perfect class for beginners as I found it quick to learn and succeeded in making a bowl! I definitely recommend this fun group, couple, or solo activity as a way to create artwork that you'll feel proud of and build your skill in pottery. Thank you George!

It was an amazing experience! George was a lovely, funny teacher who guided us through the process and was quick to assist when you made mistakes. Clearly a master at what he does. The venue was a bit small but appropriately accommodated limited bookings.

Fantastic class! The teacher was detailed, helpful and had a good sense of humour which made it fun! The tools provided were good and easy to use and even when we accidentally ruined our piece the teacher would come around and help fix the situation so we get to bring home something usable.
Very good value and would highly recommend!

George is an amazing teacher and the class was a lot of fun. He paid attention to everyone and fixed any issues we had with our bowls. We learnt lots of techniques and I was pretty happy with the end results. Venue was easy to find and 15mins walk from Burwood westfields. Definitely worth the money.

Everything was amazing, George the teacher, the pottery making and the time we had etc., thank you

Nazira Sodatsayrova Jun 2023


I liked the engagement of students and individuals.
I liked the help of the teacher while shaping and creating their pots.
However, I think the teacher needs to have one sample in front of him and show how to do it so that way we learn better by seeing what he does and how he does it.

In general, the rest of the students loved the experience and I look forward to visiting it another time.

Kathy Hearne Jun 2023


Thankyou George for an enjoyable morning making a ceramic piece. George was knowledgeable and taught us simply how to make a pot using a variety of techniques. The instructions were easy to follow. Many laughs were had as George has a great sense of humour. The course is definitely value for money.

Enjoyable afternoon but pricey. Have to pay extra for glazing and extra for colour in glazing.

Tricia Ng May 2023


The materials provided were good! It was fun to make our own cup/bowl. I would have liked more time to perfect my piece but it was still a cool experience. Getting the piece glazed costs an extra $10-15. This class is the most affordable wheel throwing class I could find in Sydney.

Karina Repko May 2023


This was my first class with George and I really enjoyed this experience! Great activity to do with friends. George took us through the different techniques and was able to help out when our work wasn’t very good.

Teacher was very knowledgeable and was willing to help

Joanne Lauthier Dec 2022


George spoke too quickly with a heavy accent and it was very difficult to follow him. The amount of clay for the price of the class was very small and there was so much talking and information that I didn't need to know, that the time spent actually doing something was way too short.

Quoc Ha Dec 2022


George is funny and has great sense of humour. He taught us history of clay and what clay we are going to use and where it came from.
It was fun and i destroyed my own "art". Until, George came and saved the day.

We had a great time. George was very helpful and accommodating, everything was provided, we had a large group and everyone enjoyed the experience as no one had worked with clay on a wheel before. Excellent birthday activity and we want to go back and take classes.

Stefanie Leung Nov 2022


overall good but wished the class had could've run for a longer time especially if you're a beginner like me, made some mistakes on the way but didn't have time to amend to make my piece more presentable due to B time restriction.
it was good fun though

Sally-Ann Rowland Oct 2022


This was great! The teacher gave us proper instruction, was hands on to keep people on track, and we ended up with a far better result than any of us expected! The time flew by. Thanks for the laughs and new experience, we loved it!
