The Dirty Details

Your weekend plans just got considerably cuter.

Spend two wholesome hours getting your hands dirty and making something you’ll actually use. Choose your fighter: a cute mug with a fun handle OR your very own ceramic keep cup with a lid.

Never touched clay? Perfect. We’ve figured out the tricky bits — templates, sizing, tools and step-by-step guidance — so you can focus on making it very you.

Then, once your creation has dried, come back and paint it for FREE. We’ll glaze and fire it, and voilà: your new favourite coffee cup, handmade by you.

Date date. Sister date. Girls’ day. Solo clay date. Whatever gets you off the couch and into some clay.

🤫 What You'll Get Up To

1. Pick your cup
Mug or keep cup? Choose your destiny.

2. Build the thing
Our lovely hosts will guide you step-by-step through building your cup, adding your handle or keep-cup lid and making it uniquely yours.

3. Take your baby home
Your creation heads home with you in its own drying box. Cute? Yes. Fully grown? Not yet.

4. Come back & paint it — FREE
Once your piece has dried for a couple of weeks, book your included Paint A Pot session and come back to give it some colour.

5. We do the hot stuff 🔥
Leave it with us and we'll glaze and fire it until it's shiny, sturdy and ready for its new career as your emotional-support coffee cup.

💁 The Fine Print

A few tiny things before you enter your pottery era:

  • Ages 12+. Under 16? You'll need a participating adult with you.
  • Your ticket includes a FREE Paint A Pot return visit. Let your piece dry for a couple of weeks, then book in to come back and give it some colour.
  • After painting, we'll glaze + fire your piece so it's shiny, sturdy, food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe.
  • Your creation goes home with you after your first session in a cute drying box — but it's still in its newborn era. Soft. Fragile. Handle with care.
  • Once it leaves the studio, we can't take responsibility for bumps, drops or “my dog ate my mug” moments.
  • Pottery has a mind of its own. Tiny quirks, cracks and kiln surprises can happen, so we can't offer refunds or credits for pieces that don't survive the process.
  • What we can guarantee: very good vibes.

#1 Top Rated Pottery Studio In The Country

Important deets!

Nope. Zero. None. This class is made for beginners and friendly for anyone who hasn’t touched clay since primary school. Your host guides you step by step so you always know what’s happening.

Just yourself and maybe a mate. We supply everything else. Your mug goes home with you in a drying box, so hands free is helpful.

Comfy clothes you can move in. We’ve got aprons, but clay has a tendency to flirt with fabrics.

This isn’t technically a clay and sip… but we’re also not stopping you 😉

Give your mug 2 weeks to dry at home, then come back for your free Paint A Pot session. After that, we fire and glaze it. Your finished mug is ready for pickup about 2 weeks later.

Ages 12 plus are welcome. Anyone under 16 just needs a participating adult to join the fun.

We’ve got studios across Australia — pick the one closest to your crew:
