Fun & Inclusive

🌟

Perfect For Ages 8+

ClayGround’s 9-Week After-School ClayTime course offers young artists aged 8+ a hands-on, digital-free sanctuary to get messy and master real ceramic art. Taught in our bright, welcoming studio in Brookvale (Northern Beaches), this beginner-friendly course combines the magic of hand-building, wheel throwing and glazing.

Guided by our passionate, Working With Children Check (WWCC) certified instructors, students explore foundational pottery techniques step-by-step. During the first four weeks, kids learn pinch, coil, and slab techniques to build functional, custom items like mugs, trinket dishes, and sculptural pieces. Then, they take a spin on the potter's wheel—with a dedicated wheel for every student—shaping functional bowls and cups with hands-on support.

The Good Stuff Included (Besides Great Memories)

All Raw Materials Provided: High-grade clay, pottery tools, studio equipment, and aprons.

Dedicated Equipment: A individual potter's wheel for every student during wheel-throwing weeks.

Rainbow Glaze Bar: Full access to our wide selection of food-safe glaze colors.

Professional Kiln Firing Pieces: Complete firing (bisque and glaze) of your child's clay creations so they are food safe and ready to take home.

Expert Supervision: Supportive small-group instruction led by WWCC-certified pottery teachers.

BYO Essentials: Just bring a water bottle, clothes that can get muddy, and creative energy!

The Game Plan

Arrival & Settle In: Drop off your young creator at our Brookvale studio, geared up in closed-toe shoes and clothes ready for clay.

Hand-Building Fundamentals (Weeks 1–4): Kids master pinch, coil, and slab construction, shaping unique functional ceramic pieces.

Wheel Throwing Thrills (Weeks 5–8): Every student gets their own dedicated wheel to learn centering, pulling, and shaping bowls and cups.

Glaze & Decorate (Week 9): Students paint and personalize their handcrafted creations with a rainbow of studio glaze finishes.

Firing & Pickup: We professionally fire all creations in our kilns. Turnaround time is 2–3 weeks after the final session date, and you’ll receive an automated notification email as soon as their masterpieces are ready for studio collection!
