Working with clay, whether it is throwing on the potter’s wheel or hand building, can be very enjoyable as well as meditative and therapeutic.
There is nothing more special than a piece of pottery made with your own hands. Whether it is a functional piece you use every day, a decorative piece for your home or a gift you have made for someone special.
Making pottery on the wheel is a three stage process:
My classes cater for all levels, from the absolute beginner starting their clay journey or those potter’s wishing to advance their skills.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the time to do something fun and creative.
That's why here I offer Casual Classes on a Tuesday afternoon and a Saturday afternoon.
These classes run every week but with no commitments.
So, if you cannot attend every week or If you're not sure if you'll like it and want a taster session, or If you're an experienced potter but need some brushing up and advice, then this is for you.
These classes have full instruction and are suitable for total beginners.
Casual classes do not include clay.
Why pay for something you're not going to use if you are just coming to trim and finish pots that you made in a previous class.
Clay can be purchased at the checkout when booking or at the studio
Half 5kg bags of stoneware clay from $12 ( I recommend this for beginners) &
Full 10kg Bags of stoneware clay from $20
Your work will be bisque fired and you will be notified when it is ready for collection or book into one of the glazing classes.
