Overview
Like everything creative, the pottery scene in Melbourne is huge, and Bisque Studios is right there at the forefront of it. It's all about creativity, exploration and growth here, and considering pottery is one of the oldest human art forms, the potential is limitless.
Bisque Studios offers a range of courses that take place in its beautiful, light-filled studio. It offers beginner classes on the wheel where a complete novice can learn the technique of throwing, as well as trimming and glazing. At the end of each term, students will be able to take home some of their pieces after they've been fired in the kiln. There are intermediate classes for the wheel, too, as well as hand-building lessons for those who want to get more creative.

If you're not quite ready to commit to a term, there are drop-in workshops, too. There's stacks on offer here, from bisque and nerokimi layering to marbling and kid's holiday workshops.
For those with a foundational knowledge of all things clay, Bisque Studios is available for private use. For a three-month subscription, you'll have full access to its facilities, including the in-house firing service. And if you're more of a homebody, Bisque sells custom-made do-it-at-home kits so you can turn that unused space into a studio all its own.
