There’s still time to join our Term 4 pottery classes at Ōtaki Pottery Club. Whether you're a total beginner or looking to develop your existing skills, we have something for every curious clay-lover:
🔵 Wheel Throwing Learn to centre clay and master the pottery wheel as you shape bowls, mugs, and more. Classes cater to both beginners learning the basics and intermediate potters looking to refine their technique.

🟫 Slab Building Work with flat sheets of clay to construct both elegant and functional forms. This class introduces techniques like slab rolling, joining, and texturing to create everything from angular vases to organic sculptural pieces. A great class for builders who enjoy working with structure, surface, and form.

✋ Hand Building Explore coiling, pinching, and assembling clay by hand to create functional vessels and unique forms. This is a relaxed and accessible entry point for potters of all levels.

🐾 Sculpture: Figures and Animals Create expressive figures and animals in clay using simple hand‑building techniques. No experience needed - just bring your ideas and enjoy sculpting in a fun, supportive group.

🎨 Surface Decoration Transform your pots with colour, texture, and pattern. Learn decorative techniques including sgraffito, underglazing, stamping, and layered glazing to make each piece uniquely yours.

🎟️ Enrolments close Sunday, 28th September— don’t miss your chance to create something truly your own.
