Open Studio is for experienced potters only. You’ll need to have completed a 5-week course, with us or at a similar studio, or be able to show us your work. First time? Email hello@theartdepartment.com.au before your session with your course details or a few photos.
This is 3 hours of unguided time on our wheels and hand-building tables. A technician is on site, but there’s no teaching, so come ready to work independently.
New to clay? Start with Clay & Sip or our 5-week course.
When it comes to getting your hands dirty with clay, we like to keep things interesting, which is why we use Mid Fire clay for our classes and workshops due to its exceptional qualities.
Not only is it more sustainable, but it also offers greater versatility when it comes to glazing and firing, ensuring your pieces are not only visually stunning but also functional for everyday use, including being microwave safe.
Certain classes offer the choice to add Firing of your art pieces during checkout, while others include it in the class fee. Please review the class details and be sure to carefully read our terms & conditions, particularly those related to kiln breakages, available here.
You can find a convenient parking station on Bolton Street or at Honeysuckle, or simply hop on the tram 200 meters away on Hunter Street.
For an even more carefree experience, why not leave your car at the Wickham Interchange and take a scenic tram ride to the Lucky Country Hotel. We are just around the corner from the Pub.
