A creative hand-building pottery class combining art and socialising, suitable for beginners and experienced artists, with all materials provided.
The Art Department is running a Clay and Sip Class at 1/133 King Street in Newcastle, with sessions running weekly from Friday 14 August to Sunday 20 December 2026. It's a hand-building class led by professional pottery teachers at a women-owned studio, and they've got a 4.9-star rating from 684 reviews. They pitch it as a mindful escape from screens that combines art and socialising, and it's open to everyone from absolute beginners to seasoned artists.
Over the course of the session, you'll learn to shape, smooth and decorate clay. You leave your piece behind to be fired in a kiln, and the studio can glaze and finish it for you, so you collect a ready-to-use creation later. All the clay, tools and an apron are provided, but you bring your own drink and snacks. There's a cool playlist filling the room, and they keep a quiet space available for anyone who needs it.

Each session runs for two and a half hours and can be booked for groups of one to 20 guests, so it works as a solo outing or a proper group thing. The price is A$108 per guest, and ClassBento donates A$1 to Dementia Australia with every paid booking. With dates running every week through to late December, you can pick a Friday, Saturday or Sunday that suits you.
