WHEEL & HANDBUILDING

8 WK BLOCK/ TUESDAYS / 1-3.30PM

Cost: $590 per 8 wk block

Paypal Pay in 4 available online.

Age: 16 and up

Max no of students: 12

NOTE: Due to the nature of creating with clay, students must book for a minimum of 8 sessions at least 48 hours prior to class starting. No drop ins!

Whether you want the excitement and challenge of learning the wheel, or a slower, more relaxed session of hand-building or would like to try both, our exciting 6-week ceramic course is suited to all skill levels! With two qualified ceramists on site, this course offers students a comprehensive introduction to the world of Ceramics!

Due to limited storage space, works in progress will only be kept for 2 months, it is the student's responsibility to keep track of their work by clearly labelling their pieces and keeping photographic evidence.  Teachers cannot be held responsible for unlabelled and incomplete works. 

Once you have built your beautiful forms, our skilled ceramicists will teach a variety of aesthetic, decoration, and glazing techniques such as carving, printing, sgraffito, underglaze washes, bubble glaze, marbling, and oxides. 

Drawing on art history, contemporary and local artists, and current trends within the artworld, our teachers provide a valuable and engaging experience whilst encouraging self-expression and social interaction.

All skills that we teach in our classes are highly transferrable, so if you have worked with clay before and are looking to expand your knowledge, our qualified ceramicists can progress you to more complex methods of making.

All skills and backgrounds welcome! Not only will you be in a friendly, creative, and inclusive space, but you will also get to experience first-hand the truly mindful and therapeutic practice of working with clay.

If you are on a NDIS plan, we cater for you! Contact our studio directly to book classes and talk to our NDIS team, as classes for NDIS cannot be booked online.
