Pottery Painting

Workshop


  • Join May of ThroughGood Pottery (Melbourne-based ceramic artist) for a relaxed and inspiring hand-painting pottery workshop at Market Studio in Annandale. Whether you're new to painting or already have experience, this workshop is designed for all skill levels—a space to unwind, explore, and create freely. Evening workshops are BYO-friendly, or bring a coffee to our brunch workshop.

    Choose ONE piece from a selection of handmade ceramic mugs and bowls, and learn the world of underglaze painting. All pieces are dishwasher, microwave and oven-safe, and will be ready for collection in 4-6 weeks when they have been carefully glazed and fired.

    May’s journey started with the belief that she couldn’t paint—now a full-time artist, she knows that anyone can create art. This workshop isn’t just about painting pottery; it’s about unlocking creativity, embracing the process, and stepping into something new.

    Price: $95 per person
