Charcuterie Board Class
Create, Design, and Serve in Style
Custom Serving Platters
Perfect For Beginners
Glazing & Kiln Firing Included
Elevate your next dinner party with a bespoke, handcrafted piece of serving ware made by your own two hands! Our 2-hour Ceramic Charcuterie Board Class is a fun, tactile handbuilding workshop held on select Saturday mornings at our light-filled studios in Brookvale (Northern Beaches) and Rosebery (Inner South). Whether you come solo, bring a friend, or gather a group, this creative session is designed to help you unwind, unleash your imagination, and craft a functional work of art.
Guided by our experienced resident ceramicists, you will learn the fundamental techniques of handbuilding, slab construction, shaping, and clay texturing. Rather than using a pottery wheel, you'll work directly with your hands and specialized tools to press custom patterns, add textures, and shape your clay into a one-of-a-kind charcuterie board, sushi tray, tapas platter, or oyster plate. The atmosphere in our light-filled studios is warm, encouraging, and completely stress-free, making it ideal for absolute beginners. Once class wraps up, our studio team handles the drying, clear-glaze finishing, and double kiln-firing process. Your custom piece will be returned to you fully food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-friendly ready to wow your guests at your next hosting event.

What Our Students Are Saying
Pottery Class FAQs
Do I need prior pottery experience or artistic skills to join a class?
Absolutely not! All our pottery classes are designed for everyone, whether you’re a complete beginner, a dabbler, or someone who "can't draw a stick figure." Our expert teachers at ClayGround provide step-by-step guidance in a relaxed, pressure-free environment. Clay is completely recyclable, so if you make a mistake, we simply squish it up and start again!
What should I wear to the pottery class?
Comfort is king at ClayGround! We highly recommend wearing comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little muddy, such as relaxed pants and a t-shirt. Since you’ll be straddling the potter's wheel, avoid wearing restrictive clothing or anything made of delicate fabrics like white silk. Don't stress too much about the mess, our clay washes off easily and we also provide protective aprons to all our studnents. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for safety in the studio.
How long is this pottery class, and what is the cost?
What is the age limit for your pottery classes?
Our beginner pottery classes are open to anyone aged 13 and over. However, participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult who is also enrolled in the class. (Our Date Night and Sip & Spin classes are strictly 18+). If you have younger creatives at home, we also offer dedicated Kids After-School ClayTime and School Holiday ClayCamps for ages 8 and up at our Brookvale studio!
Can I bring my own food and drinks (BYO) to this class?
Where are the ClayGround ceramic studios located?
We have two beautifully designed, eco-conscious studios in Sydney. You can book beginner classes at our Brookvale Studio (11 Mitchell Rd, Brookvale, 2100 in the Northern Beaches) or our Rosebery Studio (601 Botany Rd, Rosebery, 2018 in the Inner South).
Is there parking available at the studios?
Yes! We have dedicated private parking spots located directly in front of both our Brookvale and Rosebery studios reserved specifically for ClayGround students and customers.
If our front spots happen to be full, there is also plenty of convenient street parking available right around both locations:
- Brookvale Studio: Ample free street parking is available along Mitchell Road and neighboring side streets.
- Rosebery Studio: Plenty of street parking can be found along Botany Road as well as surrounding side streets.
Whether you're popping in for a 2-hour Sip & Spin or carrying your finished ceramic masterpieces home to your car, parking is quick, easy, and stress-free at both locations.
When do I get to take my pottery home?
Because pottery requires thorough drying before undergoing two separate kiln firings (reaching up to 1250 degrees!), the finishing process takes time. For our one-off beginner classes, your pieces will be ready in approximately 5 to 6 weeks. Once they are ready, you will receive an automated email and SMS notification to come pick them up. Best of all, once finished with our studio clear glaze, your pottery is completely food-safe, waterproof, and dishwasher-safe!
