Offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays.Our **8-week Mindful Pottery Program** is much more than a pottery class—it's a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and become part of a creative community where everyone learns from one another.
Designed for complete beginners through to experienced ceramic artists, this program welcomes every skill level. Whether you're touching clay for the first time or have years of experience, you'll be challenged, inspired, and supported every step of the way. Our community approach means everyone brings something valuable to share, creating an environment where learning flows naturally between students and teachers alike.
Unlike traditional pottery classes, every term introduces **new techniques, different clay bodies, and creative processes** that you won't typically find in other studios. Even if you continue with us for two years, your learning journey will continue to evolve, with fresh projects and advanced skills to discover each term. There is always something new to explore.
We'll guide you through the calming, therapeutic experience of working with clay while teaching our signature **six-step method for wheel throwing** (the spinny thing 😉). If this is your first experience with clay, we usually recommend starting with hand-building to build confidence and connect with the material. But if your heart is calling you to the wheel, we'll happily support you there too—because the wheel has a special kind of magic.
As the weeks unfold, you'll not only develop new skills but also experience the quiet satisfaction that comes from creating something with your own hands. By the end of the program, you'll have a collection of beautiful, food-safe ceramic pieces, finished with your choice of colourful glazes. Whether you choose to create one meaningful statement piece or several smaller works, your journey is guided by what brings you the most joy.
Our Mindful Pottery Program is built on creativity, curiosity, and connection—not competition. It's a place where you can switch off from the outside world, embrace the imperfect, celebrate progress over perfection, and leave each session feeling calmer, more grounded, and inspired.
All materials, firing, and Australian-certified food-safe glazes are included. We're also proud to be an environmentally conscious studio, using an ancient technique to create durable, waterproof, food-safe ceramics while reducing our environmental impact—saving the planet, one handmade piece at a time.
**Please note:** Social workers are required to purchase a separate ticket.
