For Schools and Teachers
Creative Arts Pottery Workshops (K–12)
Clay Together provides curriculum-aligned Creative Arts workshops designed to support learning outcomes across primary and secondary school levels.
These workshops are ideal for:
School incursions
Creative Arts enrichment programs
Visual Arts learning experiences
End-of-term or special school events
Hands-on K–12 learning activities
Students are guided through handbuilding techniques, including pinch pots, slab building, coiling, and surface decoration, such as texture and carving. All work is finished with glazing and kiln firing.
4-Week School Program (In-School)
The 4-week Clay Together program is a structured Creative Arts sequence designed to build skills progressively over time.
Students develop confidence and technique through:
Introduction to clay and pinch pot foundations
Slab building for functional forms
Coiling for structure and sculptural work
Decorative surface techniques, including carving and underglaze
By the end of the program, students have created a collection of ceramic works that reflect both technical learning and personal expression. All pieces are glazed, kiln-fired, and returned to the school.
One-Off School Workshop
The one-off Clay Together workshop is ideal for school incursions, Creative Arts days, and enrichment programs where a single, complete pottery experience is required.
Students are guided step-by-step through a hands-on clay project designed to be achievable, engaging, and adaptable across year levels.
All pieces are taken back to the studio for glazing and kiln firing and returned to the school within a few weeks.
For Parents and Families
Kids Birthday Party Pottery Workshops
Clay Together offers creative pottery birthday parties for children as a hands-on alternative to traditional party entertainment.
Instead of structured games or passive activities, children create their own ceramic pieces in a guided, relaxed environment where creativity and play come together naturally.
This is ideal for parents searching for:
Kids’ birthday party ideas near Canberra
Birthday party activities in Yass and the surrounding regions
Creative children’s party experiences in Murrumbateman
Hands-on birthday party options for children
Each session includes guided making time where children create a ceramic piece to take home, with all work later glazed and kiln-fired.
Multi-Generational Clay Experiences
Clay Together can also be experienced as a shared workshop where parents, carers, or responsible adults join children in the creative process.
In these sessions, adults and children work together on the same clay project, creating a shared experience rather than separate outcomes. There is no additional charge for adults participating in this way.
This format is especially meaningful for birthdays, family gatherings, and school community events.
In school settings, this can include lunchtime or scheduled sessions where families meet on-site and create side-by-side for approximately one hour.
These experiences support:
Stronger family and school connections
Screen-free shared interaction
Communication through hands-on making
Memory-building through shared creativity
Participation and Group Guidelines
Clay Together is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and accessible for all participants.
Children are expected to participate in the workshop once it begins, as each session is structured as a guided group experience.
If a participant chooses not to engage after the session has started, refunds are not available due to materials, preparation, and facilitation being allocated per booking.
In rare cases where behaviour significantly disrupts the group experience, a participant may be asked to step aside from the session so the rest of the group can continue in a calm and supportive environment. This is always managed respectfully.
For all workshops involving children, a responsible adult or supervising staff member is required to be present.
