Best Clay and Sip Canberra Classes to Enjoy with Loved Ones

Best Clay and Sip Canberra Classes to Enjoy with Loved Ones


By Jana Lepojevic

Canberra sometimes has a reputation as a sleepy town but we’re about to open your eyes to a really fun activity—pottery classes in Canberra! There are so many reasons to try a pottery workshop, from the mindful effects of being creative to the satisfaction of making something with your own hands or the sensation of clay beneath your fingers. Make it a clay and sip class when you throw some drinks in the mix and you’ve got yourself one of the most fun things to do in Canberra. And sure you could keep the fun all to yourself and have a great time solo but you could also invite some loved ones and get a good ol’ pottery party going. Whether you want to add romance with a clay and sip date night, go with your mum as a cute Mother’s Day activity, or just want to celebrate with friends and family, there are a bunch of different classes to appeal to different tastes.

Celebrate womanhood for your next hens party

There’s nothing like the pliable texture of clay to lend itself to capturing the beauty of the female form. And who better to celebrate the female form with than a group of your favourite gal pals? If you’re looking for hens party ideas in Canberra, a pottery class dedicated to womanhood is a strong contender. Try your hand at ceramic decorating at this pottery class with Deep Blue Ceramics and adorn cute little pieces of pottery with wild woman decorations. Or have a go crafting voluptuous shapes with clay at this vulva art clay and sip class or ceramic boob mugs class. There may be some giggles, there’ll definitely be good times, and we think you’ll walk away feeling empowered, rejuvenated and closer to your friends than ever!

Take the whole fam to a super-inclusive pottery class

This pottery class for lower dexterity people fits the bill for a wholesome family-friendly activity in Canberra. Did you know that engaging in pottery can offer relief for arthritis sufferers? That’s right, it’s mentally AND physically therapeutic! Plus it’s fun for the whole family. So bundle along your parents, your nan and pop, nieces, brothers, partners and kids and get them all together for a family day out! This class is consciously designed to be easier for those with lower dexterity so anyone can join and learn about pottery. Plus, at the end of the class, everyone gets to go home with their unique creation, some treasured memories with the fam and perhaps a little confidence boost from having made something with their own hands. The only problem is your whole family will keep asking you when the next pottery day is happening!

Embrace flaws on your next date night in Canberra

It may surprise you to know that pottery can be quite romantic. In fact, one of the most iconic romantic scenes in movie history involves pottery. So organising a pottery class for your next date night is a no-brainer. How about adding some romantic symbolism to the mix? This beginner’s kintsugi workshop will teach you and your partner how to fix broken pottery and make it even more beautiful with gold lacquer. Not only is it a cute date night idea, but it’s also a beautiful metaphor for love and relationships—teaching us to embrace imperfection and work on that which is broken. Plus it’s super sustainable as it teaches us to repair instead of throwing away. Perfect for first dates, anniversaries and gifts for couples, this kintsugi class will have couples feeling closer than ever and waxing philosophical about love.

Paint pottery for a wholesome Mother’s Day activity

This Mother’s Day, treat mum to a creative adventure that’s bound to warm her heart. Sure you could gift her flowers or you could paint flowers together at this ceramic painting workshop in Weston. It’s a delightful Mother’s Day gift that will also see you spending meaningful time together. You’ll learn how to decorate a platter, bowl and small dish with florals, infusing your pieces with the essence of spring. Plus you’ll get to keep your creations at the end so it’s sort of like a two-in-one gift! If you really want to wow your mum, make sure you use the pottery you created together the next time you make her breakfast in bed or serve her a meal you made! It’s a lovely Mother’s Day activity in Canberra plus it’s beginner-friendly so you and your mum just have to worry about showing up and enjoying each other’s company.
