Hello.
Wominjeka.

The Wheelhouse is a specialised ceramic studio that is focussed on developing the skill levels of all our students, from beginners to the more advanced.

Our highly qualified teachers lead small classes of up to ten, over four or eight week terms, in both Hand-Building and The Wheel. Two hour Term Taster classes are also offered as well as private groups on request.

We have created a studio space for our students that is safe, calm, inclusive and supportive - essential to the learning process.

Our new glaze range, crafted by us in our South Melbourne studio, has been meticulously formulated to embody the perfect fusion of artistry & functionality.

...students of all levels can learn to master the art of pottery.

  • “The Wheelhouse Studio team have created such a fun and relaxed environment in which to learn! The teachers are so passionate and knowledgeable about pottery, which really makes you want to challenge yourself and experiment. One of the things I love most is watching everyone’s creations come to life through all of the making stages. Irrespective of skill level, the class groups are very encouraging and supportive. Be warned, it’s addictive!”

  • “Fabulous studio and wonderful, patient and highly experienced teachers. I have done multiple terms on the Wheel and have loved them all. You learn so much in every class and it is extremely gratifying to hold a finished piece of pottery in your hands at the end of term - ones you have thrown on the wheel, trimmed and then glazed. Can’t recommend enough.”

  • “Had an amazing evening at The Wheelhouse. Completed a private group class and had the chance to make multiple different pieces. Dean, our teacher, was fantastic giving us all the individual support and attention needed. Couldn’t recommend highly enough for a fun and entertaining night out. Looking forward to next time!”
