  • Step into our serene studio on Mount Tamborine and immerse yourself in a hands-on pottery experience designed for creativity, connection and craftsmanship. In this intimate wheel-throwing workshop, you’ll create your own handcrafted ceramic candelabra — a functional statement piece designed to bring warmth and atmosphere into your home.

    Guided step by step by our experienced instructors, you’ll learn how to throw and shape your piece on the pottery wheel in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether you are completely new to clay or already have some pottery experience, this workshop is designed to feel approachable, inspiring and deeply rewarding.

    Working with premium Australian clay, you’ll discover the grounding rhythm of wheel throwing while learning techniques to build structure, balance and form. Once your base is complete, you’ll move into the creative finishing stage, adding handles, sculptural details and unique design elements that transform your piece into a truly one of a kind candelabra.

    The experience continues as you paint and personalise your work on the same day using our extensive range of underglazes. From earthy neutrals and minimal finishes to bold colours and expressive patterns, you’ll have the freedom to create a piece that reflects your personal style.

    By the end of the session, you’ll have crafted a functional ceramic artwork that is both beautiful and meaningful — something handmade to display, use and treasure for years to come.

    This workshop is about more than pottery. It’s an opportunity to slow down, get creative and enjoy the simple satisfaction of making something entirely by hand in a calm and inspiring studio setting.

    Come for the clay, stay for the experience, and leave with a handcrafted piece that brings light, warmth and personality into your space.
