Bigger Bowls: Intensive Masterclass
what students are saying
Ready to take your wheel throwing to the next level?
Join me for a 4-hour immersive pottery workshop designed for makers who are ready to go BIG. This is all about building confidence, control, and technique as we explore the art of throwing larger bowls on the wheel.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to:
• Centre and control more clay with ease
• Pull higher, stronger walls without collapse
• Refine shape, form, and presence at scale
• Troubleshoot the challenges that come with going bigger
This workshop is perfect for students with wheel experience who are ready to push their limits and expand their practice in a supportive, hands-on environment.
Expect demonstrations, guided practice, and one-on-one feedback. This workshop is aimed at students with some experience who want to take their skills to a new level and want to learn to throw larger bowls.

Sarah originally started her career within the corporate world, soon discovering pottery as an after-hours passion, exploring her creativity. She found that ‘throwing’ pottery on a wheel gave her great satisfaction and relaxation. After some time, Sarah made the decision to shift her professional career from an office life ~ to pursue her passion for pottery and tableware.
Sarah worked and studied Ceramics at Ballarat University, where she developed her bold – yet incredibly organic style.
Sarah has been truly humbled by her successful career as a full-time artist and now wishes to teach others and provide an enjoyable, relaxed environment to learn and create.
