Children’s Classes

I primarily offer wheel throwing and group hand building sessions. I am more than happy to accomodate a different sized group, or mix and match some wheel throwing and hand building together. Contact me on 0410 400 366 (phone, text, WhatsApp) to work out something that would work for you, or to book in for one of the following types of classes.

Wheel Throwing

Our wheel throwing lessons are lots of fun, but also take a lot of perseverance! We have a minimum of 4 weeks of lessons on the wheel so that children can practice and refine their skills, and also get to experience all aspects of making things on the wheel – throwing, trimming, decorating and glazing. Pieces will be available for pickup 1-2 weeks after the final lesson.

Details:

$40 per person for a 1.5 hour class
Tutoring
Small group – up to 4 students
Firing & glaze included, clay extra ($40 for a 10kg bag)

Lesson 1 – Learning the basics on the wheel – explore and play with the clay. Get a “feel” for the clay.
Lesson 2 – Continuing with the basics (I will help them create something usable in this lesson)
Lesson 3 – Trimming & continuing with basics.
Lesson 4 – Decorating – underglaze and/or glazing. Continuing with wheel throwing if time permits.

Hand Building

There is so much to make and create at a hand building session! Hand building sessions are done in small groups, in four week blocks. Children can either work on their own ideas, or join in with the group project!

Pieces will be available for pickup 1-2 weeks after the final lesson.

Details:
Tutoring – It’s my job as the teacher to help your child create their vision! I can give them practical advice and help, and show them all the tips and tricks they need to make their ideas come to life!
Small groups – up to 8 students
Everything included – clay, underglaze, glaze, tutoring and other expenses
Turnaround time is about 4 weeks from making to finished piece. Generally you will have to come and pick up some pieces a few weeks after the last class.
Trial lessons, 4 weeks blocks, or full term options, as well as options of 1 or 1.5 hour classes.
