Born from a pure love for making and creating, Print Paint Pot is the passion project of husband and wife duo, Zena and Elgan.
Keen to share their love of clay with curious crafters, they host calming wheel-throwing classes and relaxed date nights in their cozy Artarmon studio. Nestled beneath the warm glow of fairy lights, their workshops are perfect for anyone looking to spark a little romance or sink their hands into something new.
Ready to spin your own ceramic creation to life? Pop on your apron, embrace the mess and indulge in an evening of clay play at Print Paint Pot!
I first fell in love with pottery…
“After we watched the film Ghost one night. Elgan found out that I was interested in pottery and bought me a pottery wheel. Now, we run date night workshops to pay homage to that start.”
Pottery is great for perfectionists because…
“Failure is a part of it. With pottery, you don't know what you're gonna get. It could be a disaster or it could come out exactly how you imagined it to be. Embrace it, because that's how you get better.”
My top tip for first-timers is…
“As long as you have a fun can-do attitude, willingness to learn and good listening skills, you'll do well.”
Working with clay will help you…
“Forget your worries and troubles and be in the present moment.”
The five things you’ll learn in my class are…
“Patience. Not overthinking. Being kind to yourself. Being kind to the clay. And humility.”
