What you'll do

Looking for fun things to do in Melbourne with kids? Join this wheel-throwing workshop, perfect for families to join!

In this class, your lovely teacher will guide you and your child through wheel throwing.

You and your child will together make a piece of work to fire!

Embrace the opportunity to explore your creativity in a fun and supportive environment while enjoying quality time with your child.

Pick-up Reminder!!! (Very Important):
If you’d like to collect your pieces(If you have), please be sure to book ahead so you don’t make an unnecessary trip
Please note that all creations must be collected within 4 months of your course. Any unclaimed pieces after this time will be donated to charity

Please note: Ceramics can be such a fun and rewarding art form, but unfortunately, not every piece survives the kiln. Sometimes, they may break due to factors like excess moisture or unexpected explosions during firing, despite our best efforts to prevent issues during the finishing process. While we always do our utmost to ensure a successful outcome, we’re unable to offer refunds for pieces that crack naturally. However, if we determine the damage occurred due to a kiln or technician error, we’ll be happy to assist accordingly.

Booking Tips:

Our classes are cozy and fill up fast! We understand life can be unpredictable. To help everyone have a great experience, please note our cancellation and rescheduling policies:

To reschedule, please do so at least 48 hours before your class begins. Late rescheduling (within 48 hours before your class begins) will result in booking again (100% of the total ticket prices).
For cancellations, a full refund is available if you cancel at least 48 hours before your class starts. Late cancellations will result in no refund.

Thank you for understanding and helping us keep our classes smooth and enjoyable for all!

4/5 from Alicia Chan, attended Apr 2025: Class was really enjoyable. However, the description on the website stated "you both will have two pieces of clay" but it turns out that only the child will have two pieces of clay and not the parent which means the parent is only a helper or just watching their child. Besides that, the teacher was lovely and very patient. My child had an excellent time.
5/5 from Caroline Verity, attended Mar 2025: The class was well organised and the wheels were the perfect height and size for kids. Betty was very patient and taught us some new skills. Highly recommend.
5/5 from Adrian Wong, attended Feb 2025: The occasion was for Valentine’s Day and we learned how to use the pottery wheel and make clay bowls. Our teacher was fantastic as she was very patient when teaching our kids and she was very helpful. The venue was really pretty, clean, and pleasant. All the materials were provided and well maintained. What I liked the most, was how the teacher taught us and the kids, and that we were able to have two turns to make the bowls so we could choose which one we’d like to keep.
5/5 from Herald Fok, attended Jan 2025: Teacher was very patient for our daughter whom was learning pottery for the first time. There was step-by-step guidance to make a cup, bowl or plate which was easy to learn. The little one loved it, and perfect for a school holidays activity for kids to learn something meaningful. Thank you Heer Ceramics
5/5 from Julie Urquhart, attended Jan 2025: Chloe’s teacher Joyce was very friendly and informative and most helpful. She took Chloe through how to prepare the clay before she started and then guided her through each step to make a lovely bowl. Highly recommend for young children to learn the basics of wheel throwing.
5/5 from Naveen Bajaj, attended Nov 2024: Amazing experience, a must try. The teacher was really patient and skilled. She also showed my little one the whole process and they beautifully created a cup together.
5/5 from Christina Thevapalan, attended Sep 2024: Awesome experience. Teacher was very lovely and friendly and most helpful. Highly recommend. Thank you so much.
5/5 from Paige Wieselmann, attended Aug 2024: WE LOVED IT! SO FUN! THE BEST IDEA FOR FAMILY DAY OUT! Was amazing!! WE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne, our unique handmade workshop studio invites you on an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of China’s intangible cultural heritage.

What is China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage?

China's intangible cultural heritage encompasses the traditions, practices, crafts, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations. It is the soul of Chinese culture, representing the living roots of its civilization and the vibrant expressions of its identity. From the intricate artistry of pottery and calligraphy to the ancient practices of incense and wax making, each craft tells a story of historical significance, cultural values, and ancestral wisdom.

Our Courses:

Pottery & Soft Pottery: Shape the clay into forms that echo the ancient craftsmanship of Chinese potters.
Incense Making: Blend natural scents that have perfumed Chinese temples and homes for centuries.
Wax Making: Craft candles inspired by the ones that have illuminated China’s past.
Calligraphy: Learn the art of brush strokes that have been a revered form of expression throughout China's history.
Tie-Dyeing: Dive into fabric art that reflects the vibrant ethnic diversity and creativity of China.
Lacquer Fans: Decorate fans that carry the elegance and aesthetic sensibilities of Chinese culture.

And more...

Why Choose Us?

Our workshops are a gateway to exploring the depths of Chinese culture through its living traditions. Each session is crafted to not only teach you the techniques of these ancient arts but to connect you with their cultural roots and the stories they hold. In preserving and promoting these practices, we aim to keep the flame of China’s intangible cultural heritage alive for future generations.
