Ready for a creative escape? Join us for a 2-hour therapeutic clay crafting experience at our vibrant studio in Melbourne! Perfect for beginners, this workshop invites you to get your hands dirty and unleash your inner artist.
Guided by our expert instructor, trained in the world-famous ceramic town Jingdezhen in China, you'll start with a brief introduction to basic hand-building techniques and decoration. Then, we dive into the hands-on crafting together where your creativity can flow freely. By the end, you’ll have your very own clay creation to take home and air-dry naturally. We also offer firing services at an extra charge.
This session focuses on hand-building and sculpting techniques, but if you want to add colour, you can book a second session for underglaze painting and glazing, which includes the firing service.
Whether you're spending quality time with family, planning a unique date, or exploring a new hobby, our beginner's clay workshop combines learning, creativity, and fun in a supportive environment. We can’t wait to create something amazing with you!

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne, our unique handmade workshop studio invites you on an immersive journey into the rich tapestry of China’s intangible cultural heritage.
What is China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage?
China's intangible cultural heritage encompasses the traditions, practices, crafts, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations. It is the soul of Chinese culture, representing the living roots of its civilization and the vibrant expressions of its identity. From the intricate artistry of pottery and calligraphy to the ancient practices of incense and wax making, each craft tells a story of historical significance, cultural values, and ancestral wisdom.
Our Courses:

  • Incense Making: Blend natural scents that have perfumed Chinese temples and homes for centuries.
  • Wax Making: Craft candles inspired by the ones that have illuminated China’s past.
