Private Group Pottery Workshops for 6–12 People – Murrumbateman Near Canberra

$160.00

Laughter, clay, rolling hills—and very good times.

Looking to add a little spark to your weekend, celebrate a birthday, hens, work event, or simply enjoy a long-overdue catch-up with your favourite humans? Muddy Good Fun is a two-hour private pottery experience that blends creativity, connection, and countryside charm—perfect for groups seeking something a little different (and a lot more muddy).

Hosted in my cosy, light-filled studio nestled among the gentle hills of Murrumbateman, this workshop is designed for groups of 6–12 people. Think wholesome chaos, plenty of laughs, and a rare chance to switch off—hands deep in clay, hearts full, and worries left behind.

You’ll be guided through handbuilding techniques to create up to five small-to-medium pieces each. Trinket trays, bud vases, chunky tea cups, or little sculptural keepsakes—you’ll be amazed at what your hands can do.

Prefer to skip the sculpting and dive straight into decorating? No problem. Choose from a selection of premade plates, mugs, or bowls and personalise them with hand-painting and surface decoration. There’s space for everyone to find their flow, with no pressure and plenty of encouragement.

If the weather allows, we may even take the session outdoors, soaking in the views while clay dust and fresh country air mingle. Light refreshments are provided throughout—because creating with your hands makes you hungry in the best way.

Once your pieces are finished, they’ll be glazed in a soft white or clear finish and ready for pickup in 4–6 weeks. Not local? No worries—they can be posted to you (shipping fee applies).

Have a larger group or want me to bring the magic to you? Just get in touch—I’d love to tailor a muddy, joyful experience for your crew.

Muddy hands. Full hearts. Big fun.

Bookings are essential—gather your people, step into clay, and make something lovely together.

Why Pottery? Why Whistle & Page?

Pottery has a way of pulling us back to ourselves.

In a life filled with noise, notifications, and never-ending to-dos, clay offers a rare kind of stillness. The simple act of pressing your palms into the earth engages your senses, steadies your breath, and gives your mind a much-needed exhale. There’s science behind it, of course — the way handwork lights up the creative centres of the brain and soothes the nervous system — but there’s also something deeply human about it. It reminds us that creation doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

Most people arrive curious; many leave surprised by how restorative it feels. And yes… it’s delightfully addictive. Once clay has found its way under your nails, you’ll want to return again and again.

(I could talk about this for hours — and often do. If you’d like to read more, you can dive deeper here.)


Why Whistle & Page?

Whistle & Page exists as a small, heartfelt pause in the world — a place to step out of the rush and step into something slow, grounding, and joyful.

Just 25 minutes from Canberra, tucked among cool-climate vines in the village of Murrumbateman, my home studio welcomes you with soft light, countryside calm, and the kind of warmth that makes you feel instantly at ease. Whether you’re visiting the region, wandering between cellar doors, or you’re a local searching for a moment to yourself, this is a space to reconnect with creativity, community, and your own two hands.

Every workshop is designed with intention: to help you unwind, to meet like-minded souls, and to leave with something made by you — a reminder that beauty grows when we give ourselves time.

Let’s Get You Started

I’d love to share the gentle, grounding magic of pottery with you. These workshops aren’t about perfection; they’re about presence. They’re about conversations around the table, the laughter that comes when clay collapses, and the quiet pride of creating something you didn’t think you could.

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

A Few Practical Bits

  • Everything you need — tools, clay, guidance, and plenty of encouragement — is provided.

  • Any pieces needing finishing touches will be glazed in a soft white overglaze and fired for you.

  • Shipping is available if you can’t return to collect your work.

  • Due to limited space, finished pieces must be collected within 6 weeks of notification, after which any unclaimed work will need to be respectfully recycled or discarded.

So whether you’re making a quick weekend trip from Canberra, exploring our beautiful wine region, or simply craving some creative “me-time,” I’d be delighted to welcome you to the studio.

Come, slow down. Make something with your hands. Take home a little piece of country calm.

I can’t wait to share the clay, the conversation, and the community with you.
