Combining a great atmosphere and professional guidance to bring those Pinterest board ideas to life, bring your favourite bottle of red and get ready to relax.

This class includes clay & tools, bisque firing is charged at the end of the session at $7/kg for whatever items you make and wish to keep. Once your items are bisque fired, you can book into a glazing session to glaze and complete your items before they go through their second firing of 1220 degrees celsius!
GLAZING SESSION
Put the finishing touches on your pots
Complete your previously made and bisque fired pots by painting and glazing them ready for their final firing.
If you have attended a private group booking, you will be able to book into the glazing session in the following month after your initial class.
Glaze firing costs are charged at $10/kg at the end of your session. You will be contacted when your pieces are ready for collection, usually around 4-5 weeks after your complete your glazing class.
BEGINNERS WHEEL THROWING WORKSHOP
An Introduction to the potters wheel
Our beginners workshop is designed to give you a taster of what it's like to 'throw' (don't worry we'll explain) a pot, on a potters wheel. This 3 hour workshop will teach you the basics of Centering your clay, and pulling a cylinder shape as well as give you an overview of the ceramic process.
At the end of this workshop we aim to have made one piece for you to keep, which will be glazed and fired for you ready for collection in approximately 6 weeks.
Please Note: We only have right handed wheels, that spin in the direction for right handed people. People who are left handed are still more than welcome to attend, however they will have to learn how to use the wheel right handed.

Policies
Cancellations
Please notify us at least 24 hours before your class if you are unable to make it as we would like to offer others the opportunity to fill your spot. If notified before the 24 hour window you will receive a class credit which can be used at any time. Just contact us to let us know when you would like to reschedule.
Firing & Breakages
Please note, we do not take responsibility for the loss of any items during a firing due to poor construction, explosions, glaze faults or any other unexpected issues. We will not refund if your items are damaged or broken during a firing, unfortunately breakage and loss are a very real part of our craft, and even more so in shared kilns where the quality of other people's work is not guaranteed.
We do however do our best to avoid any issues through pre-firing checks and careful stacking and handling of your pieces.
