Searching for mindful Sydney activities that allow you to unwind and get in touch with your creative side? In this hands-on class, you will learn how to use a pottery wheel and make your own ceramics to keep!
This workshop will introduce you to the essential skills and relevant mindset that will help you control and form the clay on the pottery wheel. You will learn about centering the clay on the pottery wheel and opening the clay to create simple pots with different shapes.
Shaping the clay on the spinning pottery wheel requires steady hands and a focused mind. The 'wheelfulness' approach to pottery integrates the psychology of mindfulness and will encourage you to embrace stillness and presence in the creative flow.

No previous experience on the pottery wheel is required.

Please note that Wheelfulness Studio is currently in the process of relocating, so classes are on hold for now. Stay tuned for updates on new offerings at our new location in Matraville. 
Bettina offers a unique therapeutic approach to pottery, drawing on her psychology background (PhD) and sensorimotor art therapy training. Her 'Wheelfuness' approach incorporates somatic mindfulness to enhance presence and stillness at the spinning wheel.
Bettina's pottery journey began as a hobby in 2015. As an academic with a busy mind, she found the tactile nature of working with clay very relaxing. In 2019, she opened her own studio and has since enjoyed helping others discover the zen of pottery.
To further explore the therapeutic benefits of working with clay, Bettina recently undertook training in Clay Field Therapy® and now also offers somatic clay therapy sessions.
