Pottery Escape - Ceramics Classes

Last week was glaze pick-up day, so students got to collect everything they had made and glazed over the term. 😊

This day is always a hub of activity! Students from all classes come together to see each other’s work and appreciate what everyone has made. 💕

created this beautiful salt container, and these before and after shots are a great look at the process from clay to finished piece. 😊 Great work, Keeyan!

It’s been 10 years since I started teaching pottery at Saltwater, and one of my favourite parts has been seeing the friendships that grow in class. 💛

Some students come along on their own, some join with a friend, and I’ve also had mums and daughters, husbands and wives, and partners learning together.

Many start because they’ve always wanted to try pottery or simply want to do something different. Before long, they’re chatting, learning together and enjoying that time away from the usual routine. 🏺

There’s something very calming about working on the pottery wheel. You can slow down, focus on what you’re making and enjoy being in the moment. ✨

This is my last term for 2026, and a few spots are now available. Come along on your own or join with a friend or partner. 😊

Three weeks into Term 3, and I am amazed by the amount of work already being created 😊

New students are taking baby steps, creating smaller pieces and becoming more comfortable with the process of working on the potter’s wheel. 👏👏

Students who have been with me for a number of years are taking the next step, using larger amounts of clay to create bigger bowls and more complex pieces. 🏺Some come in with a plan for the term, whether it is a set of dinner plates for home, large serving bowls, or lidded containers that require a little more skill to get the fit just right.

It is also lovely to see students testing how large they can go with a set amount of clay, recording weights and measurements as they work.

I cannot wait to see everything fired and glazed ✨

I am so grateful for how much our local ceramics community has grown over the past 10 years 🌱

When I first began teaching at Saltwater Community Centre (), there were very few opportunities nearby to learn ceramics and wheel throwing in Point Cook. Since then, so many wonderful friendships have formed, and the interest in clay has continued to grow. 🥰

I hope our growing ceramics community can one day have a larger, purpose-built studio. It would make it possible for more people to join us and make room for a wider range of classes, including hand-building and children’s programs🏡

Thank you to everyone who has supported the studio and helped shape this community. It means so much to me. 💛

From the studio window, we can also see some of the most amazing sunsets in the west. 🌞

There has been so much creativity in the studio this term 🎨

Students have been exploring their own ideas through shape, size and detail. Even when we start with the same basic skills, each piece becomes something completely individual. 🙌

I have really enjoyed seeing everyone’s personality come through in the clay. 🥰
