Welcome to Sarah Schembri Ceramics, a warm and welcoming pottery studio in the heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne.
I discovered pottery in 2002 while working in the corporate world and quickly fell in love with the satisfaction and calm of working with clay.
Today, I’m joined by a wonderful team of experienced pottery tutors who share my passion for teaching and creating an inclusive, supportive studio community. From beginner wheel throwing and hand building to six and eight-week courses, our classes are designed for all experience levels and encourage you to slow down and enjoy the process of making something by hand.
We love bringing people together for private workshops, including corporate team-building events, birthdays, hens parties and celebrations.
Whether you’re trying pottery for the first time, developing your skills or simply looking for a fun and creative experience with friends or workmates, you’ll find expert guidance, plenty of encouragement and a relaxed atmosphere at our Fitzroy studio.
We look forward to welcoming you into our studio!
