So you’ve had your first ever pottery lesson and you’ve fallen in love with it? Or you just want to take the plunge and enjoy a block set of workshop classes created especially for you? Either way, we can’t wait to help fall in love with the art of creating with clay!
Welcome to your very own Hand-Building Course - a 6-week Block Course designed to introduce you to the various techniques used in hand-building pottery and develop your skills across several weeks.
In this course, we will work on several new projects to create beautiful, functional pieces to use in the home. We will use new and different clay bodies, exposing you to beautiful new finishes on your surfaces. We also have a number of exciting molds to help you create fun shapes which are not achievable on the wheel - you'll love it!
Although we have several targets to learn and achieve during this course, while completing specific projects such as Flared Serving Bowls, Platters, Spoons, Wall Mounted Planters, and more - we can also include your own project ideas (for example, cups) in the course.
This 6-week Block Course includes 5 Hand-Building Lessons and 1 Glazing Lesson, where you will learn how different glazes interact with surfaces and with each other to create beautiful finishes, unique to you! The wonderful feeling you will experience each time you use your beautiful, handmade pieces will bring you joy for years to come.
If you’ve visited our studio before, you’ll know our rustic and relaxed environment immerses you in nature, surrounded by trees and overlooking the beautiful Moreton Bay. Perfect to continue your journey in all things mud and clay!
Block courses are by arrangement and set out over six separate sessions, so please feel free to message us at any time - we love creating experiences to remember and we’re very happy to work with you to sort out dates and times that suit.
Come and make the most of our beautiful location, after your class---enjoy lunch or drinks in one of our many local cafes or harbourside bars, visit local art galleries, go for a tasting at the local winery.
We can’t wait to see you!

A lifelong artist, designer and creator, I actually feel like I grew up with paint in my hair and mud in my veins! :D
My creations are inspired by my emotions, my experiences and my surroundings - & I absolutely love sharing that fun ability to express yourself through art! :)
I get so much out of teaching - seeing the delight on a student’s face when they’re creating their own unique piece, or when a student tells that they finally ‘get it’, hearing the laughs & the jokes in my relaxed little studio - it’s the best gift a teacher can receive - I definitely get just as much out of this as my fabulous students do! :)
My pottery classes include wheel throwing, hand building with clay, glazing classes, & bespoke custom clay classes too. Relaxing, therapeutic and fun - pottery offers something for everyone, and I can’t wait to share it with you and help you create something that is 100% unique to you! :)
