Beginner’s Pottery Wheel Class

Beginner’s Pottery Wheel Class

Wednesday 28 October 2026 | 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Old Stables Pottery & Gallery, Mullalyup

Have you always wanted to try the pottery wheel? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on introduction to the wonderful world of clay at Old Stables Pottery & Gallery.

In this small-group beginner’s session, you’ll learn the foundations of throwing on the wheel, working with stoneware clay and discovering how a simple lump of clay begins to take shape beneath your hands.

What you’ll learn

• Understanding stoneware clay and how it behaves on the wheel.

• Wedging basics to prepare your clay for throwing.

• Preparing your clay to the right weight for your work.

• Centering on the wheel — one of the most important skills in pottery.

• Finger and thumb techniques to open and shape your clay.

• Working with 350 g of clay, with the opportunity to explore 450 g as your skills develop during the session.

This first session is all about building confidence, understanding the basics and enjoying the process. Pottery takes practice, patience and a little curiosity — there’s no need to have any previous experience.

Your first piece of pottery

We’ll aim for each participant to keep one finished piece, provided it is suitable for firing. As clay is a natural and sometimes unpredictable material, firing suitability will depend on the form, thickness and condition of your work.

Tea and coffee provided

Places are limited to just 5 participants to ensure everyone receives individual guidance and support.

Come along, get your hands into clay and discover the pleasure of making something of your own.
