You love pottery, but you either do not have the space at home for a studio, or you simply want to be part of a community and schedule some dedicated time to enjoy your clay play uninterrupted. These drop in sessions are offered with you in mind.
Please Note: These sessions are not classes, and there is no tuition, glazes or firings included. 10kg of midfire clay is included in your fee. These sessions are exclusively offered to those who have previously attended throwing or hand-building terms at this studio.
Drop in between 9am and 11am on Saturday mornings, and clean the studio as a group prior to leaving.
Firing to bisque and mid-fire temperatures is available at additional cost, based on weight, providing it fits safely within kiln size limits. Third firings for lustre or onglaze decals can be arranged at additional cost. You can use your own cone 6 glazes, or use studio glazes at cost. Additional clay is available to purchase (10kg Midfire 33 for $35). A shelf is available to store your work between sessions. You may prefer to create a damp-box for work that requires long drying periods. All complete and incomplete work must be taken home at the end of the final session, unless it is booked for a kiln firing.

When I found out that Alison was planning pottery workshops, I was in. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be gathering some friends who now want to do the same after I raved about it. I highly recommend Alison’s workshops. Can’t wait till the next one.
I would like to thank Alison for her time and instruction for the pottery lessons she has given me. She is highly passionate and knowledgeable in the manner in which she passes on her art of pottery in the most relaxed manner.
Alison is a supportive, relaxed, and helpful teacher and her workshops are relaxed, fun, meditative, educational, and inspiring. I absolutely loved the workshop with Alison there was no silly questions and she has the patience of a Saint with all types of personalities. Knowing nothing about pottery before I attended the workshop and having a creative streak I was like a sponge. It was quite surreal and relaxing. We all felt supported and encouraged to create.
I bought two products as gifts last Christmas but both my husband and I fell in love with them all ... so we decided to keep them. The bowls in particular are our fave, so much so that we’ve ordered more. We use them several times a week for hot and cold dishes, we aren’t precious about them. They go straight in the dishwasher and continue to look new.

Muditation Facilitator
Hi, I'm Alison, and I have been playing with clay since my first pottery class over 20 years ago.
My love of clay has seen my hobby turn into an obsession that has now transformed half of my home into a cosy studio, which I invite you to enjoy with me.
I find clay play to be very mindful - that's why I refer to it as my 'muditation'. Its ability to reduce stress and feelings of anxiety is also quite therapeutic.
Please check my Workshops section to find out about up-coming events; many of the workshops are one-off "Dirty Date Nights", short courses, and 7-week pottery classes using the potter's wheel. These are very small groups to ensure a level of support that will help you love what you have made.
Please contact me if you would like to make a private group booking for a special occassion.
