This one-and-a-half-hour pottery experience includes a bundle of pottery activities, such as the pottery wheel, sculpting, and ceramic painting.
This mindful pottery class is conducted in a small group (max four students), allowing the teacher to attend to the learning need and creative aspiration of each child.
Children will start the class at the pottery wheel, where they will be guided to create a shape of their choice. The young artists will then experiment with freely forming the clay to sculpt different objects and ornaments to decorate their pot. Children will use ceramic paints to add colours to their design.
By the end of the class, each child will make a colourful trinket dish with small ornaments of their choice. Children will leave their artwork for glazing and kiln-firing (included in the price) and the finished pieces will be ready for collection two weeks after the class.

Knowledge required
No previous experience is required.
 
What you'll get
Each child will make one pottery piece which will be glazed and kiln-fired (included in the price). It takes approximately two weeks for the pieces to be ready for collection.
 
What to bring
It is recommended that children wear closed shoes and cloths that they don't mind getting clay on. Aprons are provided but feel free to bring your own.

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.
