By ClassBento Team

Look no further for date night ideas in Canberra because pottery classes provide the perfect opportunity for you and your special someone to reconnect and unwind together. It can be difficult to keep coming up with date activities that get you feeling inspired and energised in your relationship. Between the busy bars and jam-packed restaurants, date nights can end up feeling more like a chore than a joy, and there are only so many times that you can convince yourself that streaming your favourite show together with a takeaway feels like romance. 

Pottery making is both enjoyable and unusual, making it a great addition to any list of date night ideas in Canberra. You’ll win bonus points for your date night creativity, and you might just find that a pottery workshop spent in your partner’s company inspires you both with a newfound hobby. 

Whether you’re headed to the city for a couples’ weekend break and are looking for romantic things to do in Canberra, or if you’re based in the city and on the hunt for out-of-the-box date ideas, a ceramics class offers an ideal way to spend time with your special someone in a relaxed, low-stakes, creative environment.

Prioritising your partner by carving time out of your busy schedules to reconnect is critical to the health of a relationship. Whether you’ve been together for a few weeks or a few decades, mixing things up with pottery making and celebrating your time shared together is a fantastic way to de-stress and re-commit to each other. Getting hands-on with clay is a completely immersive, mindful activity that will keep you away from the distractions of doom-scrolling and busy inboxes. You’ll be able to chat with your partner as you remind each other how important it is to get crafty and creative together.

What to expect if you head to a Canberra pottery class for date night

Clay hand building workshops

Whether you’re based in Holt or Bonner, Braddon or Hume, ceramics classes are a fantastic addition to any list of date night ideas in Canberra. Your workshop will be taught by a local artisan, who will bring their knowledge, skill, expertise and passion to the class, inspiring and teaching you how to work with clay. You’ll join your teacher in their pottery studio and will be able to soak up the atmosphere on arrival.

Learn through demonstrations and expert advice before rolling up your sleeves and getting hands on. Playing with clay is a creative, soothing process that allows you to be as creative as you want. Get lost in the process and learn to let go of the need to always produce perfection – pottery making allows you to unwind and become reacquainted with the creativity of both yourself and your partner. 

Choose from a variety of Canberra pottery classes. From taking a wheel throwing class to producing glazed pottery or establishing the basics with a hand-building session, you’re guaranteed to learn a new skill and create a piece of pottery that’s completely unique and lovingly handmade. You and your partner will then be able to proudly display your pieces around the house as reminders of time well spent in each other’s company – how often do you get to say that of any list of date night ideas in Canberra?
