Upcoming workshops

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Australia’s native flora and create your own stunning clay flower sculpture in this relaxed and creative afternoon workshop.

Inspired by the striking form of the Waratah, as well as banksias, gum blossoms, wattle and eucalyptus, you’ll learn how to shape, texture and assemble clay into a beautiful botanical artwork. Whether you choose to recreate a realistic bloom or create a more artistic interpretation, you’ll be guided through each step of the process and leave with a unique piece that celebrates the beauty of the Australian landscape.

This four-hour workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced clay makers alike, offering the perfect opportunity to explore hand-building techniques while sculpting detailed petals, leaves, seed pods and botanical textures. Enjoy an afternoon of creativity, conversation and inspiration in a welcoming studio environment, with nibbles and refreshments provided throughout the session.

All clay, tuition, tools and kiln firings are included, so simply bring your enthusiasm and enjoy the creative experience.

Places are limited, so book early to secure your spot and create a beautiful clay tribute to Australia’s iconic native flowers.

Let your imagination run wild and spend a day creating a spectacular 50cm tall clay totem that’s uniquely yours!

A totem can tell a story, celebrate nature, reflect your personality, or simply be a beautiful sculptural piece for your home or garden. Stack shapes, textures and decorative elements to create something truly one-of-a-kind.

Need Inspiration?

Design a totem featuring:

• Native birds, owls or garden creatures
• Flowers, leaves and seed pods

• Beach-inspired shells and sea textures
• Sun, moon and celestial motifs

• Hearts, symbols and meaningful patterns
• Whimsical faces and folk-art designs

• Abstract shapes and intricate textures
• Seasonal garden themes

Whether your style is rustic, playful, elegant or contemporary, you’ll be guided through the process of bringing your ideas to life in clay.

Create a beautiful ceramic seashell inspired by the natural beauty of the ocean. Learn burnishing techniques and enhance your piece with oxides and underglazes to achieve a rich, organic finish. A relaxing evening of creativity and craftsmanship awaits.

More than a workshop, each session is an opportunity to slow down, learn new skills, connect with like-minded creatives, and leave with something truly handmade.

The fibres are soaking, the pots are fired (complete with their little row of holes!), and we’re getting ready for Part Two of Clay Meets Fibre!

Join us at Creekside Pottery Studio on Saturday 31 October, where we’ll bring clay and nature together to create something truly special.

Bring along your own vessel or choose a glazed pot on the day, then weave pine needles and grevillea around it, one coil and one row at a time.

Jess will guide you through traditional basketry techniques, so there’s no experience needed, just come along, get creative and enjoy the process! You’ll head home with your very own handmade masterpiece.

And of course, there’ll be delicious morning tea and refreshments to enjoy along the way.

We can’t wait to create with you!
