5-Week Pottery Low-Down Course (Tuesday 10.30am) – Learn Handbuilding Skills in Depth
Step beyond a single session and sink your hands into clay with my 5-Week Pottery Low-Down. This small-group course is designed for beginners and returning makers who want to learn handbuilding properly — with time to explore, repeat, and build confidence at a steady, supportive pace.
Across five weeks, you’ll develop core skills, experiment with different techniques, and create a collection of functional and sculptural pieces. It’s a considered, hands-on learning experience that deepens your connection to clay and leaves you feeling capable, grounded, and creatively renewed.
Duration: 2 hours | Course Length: 5 weeks
Group Size: Up to 6 participants
Location: Whistle & Page Studio, Murrumbateman NSW (approx. 25 minutes from the ACT–NSW border)
Glazing & Firing: Finished pieces glazed (in soft white or clear) and ready for pickup in 4–6 weeks, or shipped if needed
Skills Covered: From pinch pots and slab building to coiling, sculpting, surface decoration, and glazing — plus a behind-the-scenes introduction to kiln firing and the life of clay
Ready to dive deeper into the world of pottery? The Pottery Low-Down is a five-week course designed to take you on a creative journey from the basics of handbuilding to more advanced techniques—all in a supportive, hands-on environment. Whether you’re completely new to clay or looking to refine your skills, this small, intimate group (max 4 participants) allows for personalised guidance, plenty of creative space, and time to really explore your practice.
Each week, we’ll uncover new skills and ways to express yourself through clay:
Week 1: Studio safety and an introduction to pinch pots
Week 2: Experimenting with slab building
Week 3: Coiling and sculpting techniques
Week 4: Fun decorating methods — sgraffito, slip trailing, and underglaze painting
Week 5: Over-glazing and finishing touches
By the end of the course, you’ll have created a collection of unique, one-of-a-kind pieces and gained a deeper understanding of the craft. Your creations will be glazed and ready for pickup in 4–6 weeks—or shipped to you if needed (additional fee applies).
This course is more than skill-building—it’s a chance to slow down, get your hands muddy, connect with fellow makers, and leave with pieces that are truly your own.

Private & Corporate Pottery Workshops – Hands-On Creative Experience for Teams & Groups
Step away from routine and into a shared, hands-on creative experience. These private pottery workshops are designed for teams, friends, and small groups wanting to slow down, reconnect, and create something meaningful together — whether for celebration, wellbeing, or team connection.
Guided handbuilding and surface decoration provide a relaxed structure, while plenty of space is left for conversation, collaboration, and creative freedom. No prior experience is needed. Clay naturally levels the room, helping people feel present, engaged, and at ease.
Each session is intentionally paced and tailored to your group, making it ideal for corporate wellbeing initiatives, leadership days, birthdays, hens, or intimate gatherings. You’ll leave with one-of-a-kind handmade pieces and a shared experience that feels grounding, human, and memorable.
Duration: 2 hours
Group Size: 6–15 participants
Location: Whistle & Page Studio, Murrumbateman NSW (approx. 25 minutes from the ACT–NSW border) or North Canberra studio (approx. 6 minutes from Westfield Belconnen) or Offsite

Creative connection, designed around your people
Modern teams and groups don’t need another loud activity or forced icebreaker — they need space to slow down, reconnect, and think differently. The Whistle & Page private pottery workshops offer a hands-on, grounding experience that supports wellbeing, creativity, and genuine connection.
Designed for corporate teams, leadership groups, and private celebrations alike, these sessions create a relaxed environment where conversation flows naturally and focus returns. Clay becomes the common language — encouraging collaboration, problem-solving, and presence without pressure or performance.
Each workshop is thoughtfully tailored to your group, with guided projects to build confidence and the freedom to follow your own ideas. No experience is needed. Light refreshments are served before we begin, setting the tone for a calm, engaging session that feels restorative rather than draining.
Participants leave with one-of-a-kind handmade pieces (once glazed and fired) — and a shared experience that lingers well beyond the day.
Perfect for:
Corporate wellbeing days & team resets
Leadership off-sites & creative strategy sessions
Small business teams & community groups
Birthdays, hens, and intimate celebrations
Friendship groups seeking a meaningful shared experience
Why pottery works for teams:
Pottery naturally reduces stress, supports focus, and encourages collaboration. With hands engaged and minds relaxed, people connect more easily — making this an ideal format for wellbeing-focused workplaces and people-first organisations.
