Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

Mas & Miek Ceramic House was opened on Byres Street by ceramic artists Mieke De Deyne and her daughter Charlie. It is a working studio, café and gallery store in one, and private groups take over the teaching space with a teacher of their own.

Three ways to spend a Newstead pottery session:

  • Hand building, where each guest shapes a piece from clay with the teacher's guidance.
  • Decorating a ready-made bisque pot with underglazes, the gentlest start for non-artists.
  • Learning the basics on one of the studio's 10 pottery wheels.
  • Whichever you choose, the session runs about two to two and a half hours for groups of 10 or more.
  • It is priced from $145 per person, with staff firing and glazing every piece afterwards.

Guests can BYO drinks and arrange their own catering, so the session can double as the party itself.

Inside the Byres Street studio

  • The teaching studio sits alongside a café and a gallery store selling work by local potters.
  • Clay, glazes and all materials are included in the price.
  • With 10 wheels, a large wheel group may take turns rather than all throw at once.
  • Finished work is ready to collect a few weeks after the event.

Themes Mas & Miek can build in

  • Office groups can make a matching set of mugs.
  • A baby shower can centre on making vases.
  • Birthday groups often pair the session with a BYO bottle and platters they bring in.
  • The studio mainly hosts adults, and a teenager can come along with a parent who books.
