“This was amazing! Lisa is a great teacher putting no pressure on you to make it exactly right or to perfect a particular skill. She imparted her wisdom and skills in a lovely, chilled way adding zero pressure to the workshop. I honestly can't recommend enough that you book this - it's incredible value, it's fun and you'll 100% leave with a smile on your face.” Millie W

Rustic Wares.
1 session, 3 hours, $130.00/pp, max 7 people
A great place to start! Make a dish, plate, pinch pot bowl, cup, dip, and spoon. Echidnas and other animals may also make an appearance. Techniques used - pinch and slab.
This clay has lots of gorgeous grit (grog) which is only fully seen once it has undergone the final firing. I have chosen it for this workshop because it is a very easy, fun clay for beginners to use. It is full bodied and robust.
My most popular workshop!
Big Bowl/Vase.
1 session, 3 hours, $130/pp, max 6 people
Make a big bowl or big vase using slab and coil method. The bowl will be approximately 19cm diameter so you could use it as a serving bowl, salad bowl or a planter! You get a choice of different types of clays to suit the look your after.
Platter and 2 Dip Bowls.
1 session, $150pp, max 4 people
Make a platter and 2 bowls. You will have a choice of 2 groggy clays. The techniques used will be slab making and pinching and maybe coiling.
Colourful Sprigs - pen & watercolour

Want to give watercolour painting a try for the first time? This workshop is for you.
Starting something new is so exciting and empowering. Never picked up a paint brush but want to create something wonderful? Let’s do it! Forget being precise and careful, instead let’s embrace the loose and lovely look of watercolour together. You don't need to be able to draw a straight line because wobbly lines are more beautiful.
Just because you are doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have the best materials. Artist quality Daniel Smith paint and 300gsm watercolour paper help you to produce the best outcome.
You will take home a beautiful A4 painting to frame. This workshop is rated: 1 star SUPER EASY… recommended for absolute beginners and those just wanting to have fun.
Butter Bells.
1 session, 3 hours, $150/pp, max 4 people
Make 2 gorgeous butter bells! One for you to keep and maybe one to give to a lucky friend.
You will use a lightly gritty clay which finishes to an of white colour which teams beautifully with the creamy gloss glaze.
