Everyone starts somewhere.
In their first class, most people are touching clay for the very first time — but by the end of the session, they’ve already shaped something real and personal.
What People Create
On their first day, they create:
Trinket dishes and small bowls
Mini planters or textured cups
Little keepsakes and test pieces that spark confidence






Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I paint my pieces during class?
Not yet. Air-dry clay needs around 20 hours to fully dry. You’ll take your pieces home and paint or polish them using the materials in your kit.
Are my pieces food-safe?
By default, air-dry clay is decorative, but we can kiln-fire your pieces for $5–$10 each to make them food-safe and water-resistant.
Can I host a private or themed workshop?
Yes. For groups of six or more, we can tailor a themed or private session just for you. For groups of ten or more, we can bring the workshop to your home, office, café, or event space.
What if I want a virtual or on-site session for my team?
We can organise both. We’ll send out kits and host the session either in person or virtually.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself. We provide everything — materials, tools, aprons, and light refreshments.
