If you’re looking for one-on-one support, a refresher, or you are a total beginner and keen to see what pottery is like before signing up to do a term class at one of our awesome local studio, a private teaching session may be just what you are looking for. These are available by arrangement.

Private teaching takes place in the studio and is tailored to what you’d like to work on

If you’re not sure whether you’re after studio hire or private teaching, just let us know what you’re hoping for and we’ll guide you. Sometimes a 1 hour refresher followed by 2 hours of just studio time works well, or for those total beginners, 3 hour teaching session is normally required.

NB: any work you have made and would like to keep, we can organise the bisque firing, glazing and glaze firing for $25 per piece

During studio sessions, you’ll have access to shared tools and work surfaces.

A Giffin Grip and bat system are sometimes available to use in the studio, depending on availability. If you’re specifically hoping to use these, let us know when booking and we’ll confirm what’s available on the day.

Our studio includes access to a Frema tabletop slab roller, ideal for hand-building projects that require smooth, even slabs of clay.

It’s perfect for:
• Platters and large plates
• Structured hand-built forms
• Wall pieces
• Consistent slab work

Many studio guests use their 3-hour session to roll a series of slabs, stack them carefully (ready to take home in a container), and then complete their hand-building projects in their own time.

Keeping the Frema slab roller in the studio ensures it’s properly set up and supported — and gives you plenty of space and time to work efficiently.

$60 for a 3 hour session in the potter&dabble studio. Bookings essential. Please bring your own clay and cotton fabric squares to use with the roller. 

If you do wish to rent and take home, please get in touch.
