Join us in the studio for this fun 5-day introduction to the pottery wheel!
You'll be guided every step of the way in a small group of up to 6 students.
Over one week of 2-hour daily sessions, you will learn how to throw and trim pots.
Wheel throwing skills improve from session to session, and once you have learned how to make simple forms, you will be able to hone your skills in ‘open studio’ sessions or continue to learn in our term classes.
There is no emphasis on ‘product’, and this approach allows you to take the time you need to absorb the techniques and understand the principles of wheel throwing in a calm atmosphere conducive to learning. You will make bowls and cylindrical shapes as your skills develop. At the end of the week, you will have an option of recycling some works and firing others. We will fire your chosen pieces with a clear glaze.
Come along and discover this amazing art form in our beautiful studio at Bondi Beach!

Course cost is $345. A discounted price of $265 is available for Pensioner Concession Card holders - please book in at the full price and then email us a photograph of your card or show it to us at your first lesson, after which we will refund your payment to the lower fee.

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.
