Overview

Pot Dispensary offers pottery classes and studio access to the Melbourne community in its bright and airy studio space. The philosophy here is that pottery is like a dance, with the movement of the wheel stopping time around you. And with such wonderful teachers, you'll be glad for the time to go as slowly as possible.

The classes on offer here include a one-off, two-hour class introducing novices to the wheel. You'll learn throwing, trimming, and glazing, and by the end of the lesson, you'll have created a cup, bowl or vessel that you'll be able to take home (six weeks later, once they've been fired in the kiln).

For those who are a tad more determined, there is a six-week course on offer, too. These courses are designed for everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros. For two hours each week, you'll learn everything there is to know about pottery. By the end of the course, you'll have created items such as salad bowls, serving sets, side plates, candelabras and casserole dishes.

Private bookings are available for groups of one to twenty, as well as wheel rental and studio access for those who already have a strong skill set. With friendly teachers and an awesome learning space, Pot Dispensary is just about the best pottery studio in Melbourne.
