Throw on the Wheel.
You've thrown on the wheel in a class. Imagine if you could practice every week with people who understand. Learn how consistent wheel time — without the pressure of a class — is how potters actually get better.
Handbuild Your Way.
Imagine if you had studio space to mess around, experiment, and find what clicks. Learn how weekly practice without instruction — just exploration and makers around you — is how potters discover their voice.
Slab. Roll. Or Sculpt.
Have you dabbled in sculpture at home? Imagine if you could build bigger, bolder, experiment with texture and form. Learn how weekly slab work — with studio space and makers around you — is how potters turn flat clay into something extraordinary.
Create Anything You Imagine.
Open studio space is where potters start creating the thing they imagine. Tiles, sculptures, handbuilt pieces, wheel work, whatever calls to you.
Learn From Others. Find Your People.
A safe space to try things. talk to other beginner potters who get it, and experiment in a group. Every Thursday night creates the community where you belong. Learn From Others. Find Your People.
Shared Space. Shared Kilns.
We professionally fire, glaze and make food-safe. From clay to table, your handmade pieces are designed to be cherished and used for years to come.
From 'new-ish to pottery' to Your Dedicated Space to Practice & Grow.
You're ready to step away from the screen and get your hands into something you can feel.
Every Thursday night, you'll practice your pottery skills, get better at your own pace, and discover that the most meaningful time you can make for yourself is the time spent creating.
But where do you even start?
You've done a class or two.
You know the basics.
But practicing at home?

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.”
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.
