Ground Up Pottery 8 Lexburn Avenue, West Wollongong, New South Wales 2500

Welcome to Ground Up Pottery, a small and humble home-based studio located in West Wollongong, on Lexburn Avenue. As an establishment and point of interest, we offer a range of wheel and hand building classes that allow you to engage your creative side or simply try something new.

Our classes are designed to be small, relaxed, and cater to all abilities. Whether you're a beginner or have prior experience, our studio provides a welcoming and nurturing environment for your pottery journey. Over the years, our little pottery studio has grown with the intention of sharing our love for creating and providing a space where we can unwind, be productive, and engage in focused mindfulness.

When teaching, our instructors draw on their knowledge gained since starting pottery in early high school, formal learning, and numerous experiments and failures along the way. With a background in primary education and corporate learning development, our instructors feel comfortable teaching students of all ages. They believe that there is always something new to learn, as pottery is diverse in its styles, techniques, and applications. This lifelong adventure of discovery is what makes pottery so exciting.

Seeing a student's thought process come to life, witnessing their creativity and design skills flourish, and experiencing the joy and pride when students can hold their work and say "I made this!" is what gives our instructors a real buzz. They started teaching Anthony, their husband, about four years ago, and he has since become their go-to person for kiln expertise and delving into the world of glaze chemistry.

At Ground Up Pottery, we may not claim to be experts, but we have a genuine passion for clay and a desire to share it with others. Join us in our studio and embark on this creative journey together. Whether you're looking to explore your artistic side, relax and unwind, or simply engage in a new experience, we have a class for you. Come and discover the joy and satisfaction of working with clay at Ground Up Pottery.
