Afternoon at the Temple – Clay Temple.co
Our Afternoon at the Temple session is a relaxed, free-form pottery experience designed for couples and small friend groups looking to get creative together. This class is open only to students who have already completed our Intro to Pottery class, as you will be using the skills and techniques you learned previously with a more playful, social twist.
With a maximum of three groups of two (6 spots total), the vibe is intimate, fun and hands-on. Each student receives two balls of clay to explore, experiment and create at their own pace on the wheel. Think of this as your chance to unwind, get a little messy and make something uniquely yours without the structure of a traditional lesson.
If you love what you create, you are warmly welcomed back to the studio for a glazing session (additional cost applies). Prefer to pick up your pieces instead? That is available too. Your pots will remain unglazed and porous, perfect for planters or decorative pieces.
A relaxed, creative afternoon in the studio with you, the wheel and the joy of making.

Age Requirements: These classes are suitable for 14+ year olds. Parents are required to attend/partake in class for children under 14-years-old, so don't forget to book in early to reserve your spots. If you wish for your child who might be younger than 14 to attend a wheel throwing class, keep your eye's peeled for our school holiday program where ages 8-years-old and up are able to attend.
6-week intensive wheel throwing course: Once you’ve completed the intro class, you’ll be given a ticket and opportunity to further your passion for pottery and partake in a 6-week intensive wheel throwing course. This course was designed to allow the new potter to discover and practice the basic mechanics of throwing clay on the wheel. Techniques and methods will be shared and discussed and put into practice. Find out more about our 6-week course here.
