Get ready to roll up your sleeves and unleash your inner potter in our platter-making pottery class in Marrickville! Join us in our stunning studio and craft something you’ll adore using slab, pinch, and coil techniques. By the end, you’ll have a show-stopping platter and dipping bowls perfect for your next gathering (cue the humble brag: “Oh, this old thing? Just something I whipped up…”). Expect a flood of compliments and experience the zen-like joy of hand-building—it’s meditation, but with a masterpiece to show for it!We’ll dive into a world of platter shapes and textures, adding pops of colour and personality to your design. Master the art of slab building: rolling, cutting, joining, and jazzing up your creation with 3D decorations. You’ll also learn to play with textures using sculpting and trimming tools, then bring your platter to life with underglaze colours. We've seen people create everything from the marvellously minimal to illustrated 'Girl Dinner' trays and sculptural wonders. Your guide? A seasoned pro who keeps classes cozy so you get all the attention you need. And hey, all this platter prep might just put you in the mood to celebrate. After class, stroll across the road to Marrickville’s legendary watering hole, The Vic on the Park, and toast to your newfound pottery prowess!
This is a beginner-friendly class accessible to people with no previous experience, and those who’ve dabbled before. Pick up some new skills and create something you’ll be proud of!
You must be at least 13 years old to attend this class (minors will need an accompanying adult).
What you'll get
Included in the price, we will clear glaze then fire your piece after class, ready for pick up from the studio in 3-4 weeks. Your objects will be dishwasher and microwave-safe too!
A big ball of clay - more than enough to make a platter and accompanying small dishes.
Work with a full suite of clay tools and underglazes - everything you need to make and decorate your platter.
You’ll wear one of our gorgeous rust-coloured cotton drill aprons with soft linen straps…sooooft!
It’ll be afternoon tea time so tea and coffee are provided (inc. regular and soy milk).
Best of all, you will get addicted to a new ritual, the calming quality of clay!
What to bring
We could say ‘wear something that’s easy to clean, or that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. Covered shoes are ideal and think about keeping long hair out of the way’ but honestly all you need to bring is your radiant self!
We’re at 9 Addison Rd in Marrickville, opposite The Vic, right near the intersection of Enmore Rd and seconds from Enmore Park. Dare to drive? There is ample parking along either side of Enmore Park, on Llewellyn St or Victoria Rd. There are also spaces along Addison Rd or any of the nearby side streets. Save the world, one bus trip at a time. Routes 355, 423, 426, 428, 430 all stop close by - alight at Enmore Park and pop around the corner.
