Wheel Throwing Classes in Melbourne

Why not try your hand at a 1-day pottery class in Melbourne to get a taste for the craft? 

You could start with a casual wheel throwing workshop to learn the basics of using a pottery wheel. Lots of people love these short and sweet wheel throwing classes in Melbourne, as a way to get familiar with clay work. 

For an even more relaxed introduction to pottery work, you could sign up for a clay and sip-style workshop. These teach you either pottery wheel basics or hand-building techniques – all while having fun and socialising over a glass of wine. Some clay and sip classes can be booked for a private group or an event.

If you’re committed to perfecting your technique over several weeks, consider enrolling in a dedicated course of weekly pottery classes in Melbourne. Most typically run over four or six weeks, delivering the perfect sequence of introductory pottery wheel classes in Melbourne for beginners or newbies.

Once you’ve mastered the basics of wheel throwing, a casual weekly pottery class in Melbourne may be more up your alley. These more relaxed classes allow you to pick up new skills as you go.

Handbuilding Pottery Classes in Melbourne

If you’d rather learn hands-on clay techniques like coil, slab and pinch building, try out a hand-building workshop. WeTeachMe has classes that cater to beginners and pros alike. 

Hand-building pottery classes in Melbourne teach you fascinating ways to use your hands and various tools to mould clay. You can walk away understanding how to create beautiful handcrafted cups and tableware, or sculptures, gifts and ceramic ornaments. 

Keep an eye out for fun seasonal ceramics classes in Melbourne. We often list pottery classes that take you through how to create ceramic Christmas ornaments, for example.

Kids Pottery Classes in Melbourne

Is your little one showing signs of creative flair? Stoke that kiln by enrolling them in a kids’ pottery class. Melbourne has plenty to choose from.

Kids' pottery classes will go for an hour or two, and teach age-appropriate clay skills, either with or without a pottery wheel. All materials will be provided, and your kids get to take home a special creation at the end! 

WeTeachMe offers some of the best kids' pottery classes in Melbourne – an excellent activity for school holidays, or as an ongoing hobby for young pottery enthusiasts.

Unstructured Pottery Classes in Melbourne

If you’ve already discovered a love for clay and ceramics, you may benefit more from access to a fully equipped Melbourne pottery studio. Potter about (in more ways than one) with the space and tools you need to craft your own clay creations.

Several Melbourne pottery studios offer these types of sessions on WeTeachMe.

Just remember: these aren’t guided Melbourne pottery classes, so there won’t be someone there to show you techniques or teach you to use the equipment.

Pottery Painting Classes in Melbourne

Sculpting with clay can be beautifully therapeutic, but the same can be said for pottery painting. Melbourne is home to some highly creative pottery painting classes that teach you how to decorate your ceramics. 

Uncover delightful ways to paint your pottery pieces, including what tools to use and how to develop your own artistic expression through ceramic painting.
