Pottery classes in Geelong
Term classes, Taster Classes & Pottery Workshop Intensives
class calendar
Pottery classes that develop skills in throwing on the wheel, hand building, glazing and decorating techniques during our regular 8 week term blocks of pottery classes & our new intensive 2 week 'Throw it Out' pottery classes. There's also Pottery for everyone at StudioMade with 2 hour Taster classes and Workshops - create something to take home in these intense, small group wheel classes.
Beginners are the majority of our new enrolments - feel free to join us if you have none- to any level of clay experience. If you then choose to re-enrol into subsequent terms, as would be expected you will develop a reasonable procifiency and 'up' your skill level. The hidden gain is the relationships that tend to develop among our students and of course self - development naturally occurs along the way.
Our classes remain small to ensure a student focused experience.
New vacancies arise 2 weeks prior to commencement of the new term - refresh your browser each time you visit the site.

Taster classes
At StudioMade you can also participate in a 2 hour taster class.
These one off pottery wheel classes. Tutors will guide you through the basics of throwing clay on the pottery wheel, beginning with clay preparation, centering clay, through to making your first clay pot. These are hands on sessions where you will get clay-dirty and enjoy a unique studio experience.
At the end of your 2 hour class you will have created 2 decent pots that will be glazed and fired - ready for you to collect in a few weeks.
Taster classes make for great gifts too!!
Testimonials
My partner (Matt) and I went to one of your workshops in January and absolutely loved it! We use our bowls and cup almost every dinner meal. Because of this, since then I have continued to attend a pottery studio in Sydney, and now want to buy my very own wheel back home in Torquay thanks to you and our awesome experience at Studiomade!

My last class today at @studiomadegeelong after two and a half years. I started with only a love of ceramics and a yearning to get back to it since high school; and now I can design, make, mix glazes, operate a kiln and so much more. A huge thankyou to Darren McGinn @studiomadebydarrenmcginn for encouraging me, sharing his vast knowledge, pushing me and always saying yes when I had ideas I wanted to try.
