Come and join Tammy to create your very own beautiful clay work of art!
My clay handbuilding workshops are for a small number of participants so that you will be guided step by step through the process so that you will feel supported and confident while you create your clay masterpiece!
Handbuilding is the term used to describe clay-work that does not rely on machinery. Methods of clay handbuilding are less restrictive and easier to learn than throwing clay on a wheel. When handbuilding, ideas can be expressed in many ways and that is exciting, rewarding, grounding and relaxing.
You will be taught basic handbuilding techniques to make a simple shallow bowl or small plate.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly. This is an adult open-age workshop, but suitable for ages 14 and above.
 
What you'll get
Included in the workshop cost are 500gms of white earthenware clay, use of tools, instruction on clay handbuilding techniques (such as carving and stamping), glaze application, and firing.
Your item/s will be ready to pick up from the studio approximately 4 weeks after the workshop date (this allows for the clay items to dry thoroughly, application of the glaze, and mid-range temperature firing).
What to bring
Your enthusiasm, an apron (or casual clothes you do not mind getting messy) and BYO food and/or drink.

  • Sherbrook Ceramic Art is a small family run art studio located in the bush shire of Hornsby, NSW.
  • Established in 2011 when I was working as a healthcare professional. While on duty and particularly on a weekend, patients often felt sad and bored. I decided to gather up equipment and materials to set up arts and crafts sessions and invited patients to join in. They all found it great fun and helpful. This was the reason I decided to open an art studio for the purpose of bringing people in the community together, to attend, socially connect, explore their inner creativities and at the same time enjoy, unwind, relax, and have fun.
  • I love teaching and am passionate about all types of arts and crafts. I would love to guide you step by step through the process, teaching from the heart, so that you feel supported to create and complete your own masterpiece.
  • Lots of my relatives, friends, and colleagues at work comment, “You are so talented, is there anything you cannot do?”
  • As a young girl my mum, who was a very creative person, taught me sewing, embroidery, cooking and painting.
  • Sherbrook Ceramic Art is a place to come and be creative, unwind and be productive. As you enter my studio, you will be astounded by all the ceramic works on display and be inspired to create in the artistic environment. While you are sitting in the studio, you will have soft relaxation music playing as well as an aromatherapy diffuser on to calm your mind.
  • The classes and workshops are always pleasing for me as I get to meet the most beautiful people, share my passion for arts and crafts and treasure the smiles, the happiness on their faces as they complete their products and I am as proud of their creations as they are, for helping achieving their goals, whether that be big or small, first time or regular attendance.
  • I have done many arts and crafts courses and won many prizes over the years.
  • In 2010, I attended art courses and programs in America through Duncan Ceramics in California, Amaco Brent in Indiana and Mayco in Ohio where I learnt contemporary ceramic techniques. In 2012 I attended the Grazia Museum and the International School of Ceramic Art in Deruta, Italy where I learnt both innovative styles and classical Majolica techniques from two famous artists, professor Riccardo Muti and maestro Romano Ranieri.
  • Have a great positive beautiful day
