Yes! Many students attend solo. Classes are relaxed, social, and welcoming. You’ll work alongside 2 others at individual wheels, receiving 1-to-1 guidance while progressing at your own pace.

What Can I Make?

You’ll receive 5kg of white stoneware clay for the course, ideal for cups, bowls, small vases, and other functional pieces. Additional 10kg bags of clay are available in-studio for $30.

All students have access to a curated range of underglazes and both clear and coloured glazes. Finished pieces will be kiln-fired and ready for collection 4 weeks after the course ends.

If you don’t complete glazing within the 6 weeks, additional Studio Hours can be booked to finish your work. All finished work is fully functional, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-friendly.
