Little Wood's open studio sessions are not a class, but are for those who have completed a pottery wheel/hand building class at Little Woods or have previous experience with:
  • using a pottery wheel/ hand building,
  • trimming, and
  • glazing
If you need to learn any of the above, please check out our workshop listings.
This time will be a chance to play, experiment and practice your pottery skills at your own pace. These are self-directed sessions; however, there will be a staff member on-site who knows how the space runs and can answer basic questions.
The class includes:
  • 5 hours self-directed access to Little Woods Studio per session, from 10:30 am-3:30 pm
  • Use of one pottery wheel, and / or bench space for hand-building
  • Space to store greenware (2 weeks) and bisqueware (4 weeks)
  • Clay, underglazes, and glazes are supplied. No external clay or glazes, please
  • Pottery tools
  • Access to kilns (firing is charged at $12 per kilo, payable prior to final glaze firing)
  • Kitchen facilities, including a kettle, water purifier, and microwave

  • On your first session, you will be given a brief induction to the studio.
  • Your work area, all tools and equipment must be thoroughly cleaned and put away after use.
  • No external clay, glazes or dry materials to be brought into the studio. Little Woods supplies clay and glazes.
  • Kids aged 12-15 can book in on the condition that an accompanying adult is present.
