5 Weeks pottery course

Get Your Hands Dirty with My 5-Week Pottery Course!

Ready to dive into the world of clay and creativity?

My name is Francesca, and I host intimate 5-week pottery courses in my cosy home studio in Fremantle. As a professional potter, I love sharing my knowledge while creating a welcoming space where creative people can relax, connect, and make beautiful things with their hands.

If you’re looking to slow down, meet like-minded creative souls, dedicate time to yourself, or simply try something new, this course is designed for you.

Over 5 fun-filled consecutive weeks, we’ll explore the main three hand-building pottery techniques while giving you the freedom to create pieces that feel personal and inspiring to you. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience with clay, you’ll be guided step-by-step in a supportive and relaxed environment.
