Real Beginners - Real Results
“For the first time, I’m not worried about being a perfectionist… I’m loving it. I've fallen in love with pottery and I just love every week.”
“Going alone to a room full of strangers for 5 weeks felt like a lot. I emailed twice asking if it'd be weird showing up solo. It wasn't — by week 2 I had people to sit with. I never once felt like the odd one out.”
“I actually scoped out the studio first to see if it looked judgy. It's the opposite — nobody's watching your wheel, everyone's super encouraging. First time in years I didn't feel evaluated”
“I went at my own pace and still finished all of pot I'm proud of. Nobody in that room had done this before either. My first bowl looked like a hat. My third one didn't. Ness is a really great teacher, really.”
“Thank God for the AI tools you’ve taught us. The AI Advantage is hands down the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s saving me an incredible amount of time and making this leap feel possible.”
“I went with my daughter. We loved it. It’s incredibly fun and just can't stop.”
FAQ
A few things you might be wondering
Do I need pottery experience?
Yes. Please complete at least one pottery lesson before joining us, either with us or at another studio.
Will there be any teaching?
Each evening starts with a 20-minute demo + Q&A to spark ideas and help you get started. Then you’ll work on your own projects at your own pace, with help available when you need it.
Can I use a pottery wheel or do
hand-building?
Yes—choose a Wheel Seat or Handbuilding Seat when booking.
How much does it cost?
Open Studio is $45 per person, per evening. (Covers your wheel/handbuilding seat, studio tools, and guidance.)
For materials and finishing, you can choose:
The All-In-One Bundle ($25): Includes 1kg of clay, access to 20 decorative colors, clear glaze, and kiln firing. (Recommended for beginners and gift makers!)
Bring Your Own Clay / Pay-as-you-go: Bring your own clay (purchased from Derwent Ceramics), or purchase clay in studio for $8/kg. Kiln firing and clear glaze are charged separately by weight at $18/kg.
Do I need to book every Thursday?
No. Select the dates you’d like to attend and book your seat for each evening.
Can children come?
Young people aged 12–16 are welcome with a parent. The parent must also book and pay for their own seat, attend together and stay for the entire session.
What can I make?
Christmas decorations, little dishes, mugs or something personal for someone you love. Bring your ideas and choose projects that suit your experience.
Will I take my pottery home that night?
Your pieces need time to dry and be fired, so they won’t be ready that evening. If you’re making Christmas gifts, speak with Ness about timing before starting. We can always use a 'special recipe' instant dry clay.
When and where is it?
Thursday evenings, 6–8.30pm, at
81 Warwick St, Hobart.
I'm Ness
24+ Years Teaching Beginners
I'm Ness, the founder of Tas Pottery Workshops.
My journey began after facing life in a wheelchair — pottery became my path to self-healing, and thankfully, to walking again.
That experience shaped my philosophy of living life to the fullest and getting through the adventures of life's with a sense of humor.
The Studio
81 Warwick St
(Between Murray St & Elizabeth St)
Walk in and the first thing you'll notice isn't the pottery wheels — it's the sound. Laughter. Chatter. The clink of mugs of tea between hands still dusty with clay.
This isn't a sterile art class. It's a small, welcoming space built for beginners — because everyone here started exactly where you are: clueless, a little nervous, and secretly hoping they don't make a mess of their first pot.
