School Holiday Pottery Class for Kids

Kids - come and sculpt using clay



5 to 12 years     1.5 hours Class size 6 to 10 guests     $45


Join us for a fun hand-building pottery class where young creatives can unleash their artistic talents! In this one-and-a-half-hour workshop, your child will have the opportunity to explore different pottery techniques with the guidance of our experienced teachers.
They'll create their very own masterpieces, which they can proudly take home or choose to display in our window installation at Bondi Pavilion for visitors to admire.
This is a one-off session. At the end of the class you have a few options-
1.You can take your favourite piece home in its raw clay state.
2. Join our 'Decorating and Finishing Class' later in the holidays and decorate and finish the piece ready to be fired and glazed (then you’ll leave this piece with us to fire in the kiln). We will let you know when pieces are ready to collect from our studio.
For the second session, you would bring back your artwork and we’ll guide you on ways to complete it, for example, by adding colours and textures, repairing any cracks and refining small details. After a second session, when the works are nicely finished off, we can fire and glaze them for an additional $15/child. This can be decided on the day.
Come along and learn the joys of clay!

Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio

5.0 (269)

Located at iconic Bondi Beach, Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio nurtures creativity, wellbeing and community through clay.
The Studio is run by Agatha Pupaher and Leanne Berelowitz in partnership with Waverley Council. Agatha co-founded and currently manages Sydney Clay Studio, a creative space and kiln firing service in St Peters. Agatha is a ceramic artist and educator who is passionate about sharing her love of clay. Leanne has a BFA in ceramics and glass from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and a Master of Cross-disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW Art and Design, Sydney. She has been teaching ceramics for 15 years. Both Leanne and Agatha are practising ceramic artists who exhibit their work in group and collaborative exhibitions. In addition, they have both worked in former careers; Agatha, as a child and family psychologist, and Leanne, as a registered nurse. They value each other’s transferable skills and expertise in working with people of all ages, and draw on them for their art teaching.
Agatha and Leanne value deep learning and making, and aim to help students create space to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. Hands, head and heart working together to bring ideas to life. They teach the classes along with a small team of passionate tutors and ceramic artists who share a similar slow approach to creating/working with clay. While pottery/ceramics is about making things, their teaching approach is to initially fixate less on the outcome, and focus on building skills and developing techniques through creative exploration.
