2hr wheel basics class
This one-off class is a great introduction to the art of throwing. Our qualified teacher will run you through a 2hour class in a relaxed and professional environment. You’ll be able to take home one of your creations included in the class price, once it has gone through the firing and glazing process (usually 3-4 weeks) or all of them if you choose. With a maximum class size of 8, the classes are lighthearted, unhurried and give each student plenty of support but also have the freedom to express your own creativity.
These classes are $79 per person, maximum of 8 per class. For ages 16+ and run every Saturday morning 10am-12pm or an afternoon session, please email alkimiceramics@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Platter + Plate workshop
Come create your own ceramic platter + serving plates! This is a hand-building workshop and will run over 2 weeks ~ 2 classes 2 weeks apart. The first class is the making class, we will make 1 large platter and a collection of smaller plates and bowls to use as a set. This creative process is at the workbench, working with slabs rather than on the wheel. The second class will be 2 weeks later, we will focus on decorating and glazing our platters + plates to create a beautiful, functional set for your kitchen.
Perfect for entertaining and a great talking point!
