About Glen Wardle Ceramics
Glen Wardle Ceramics is a pottery studio run by potter Glen Wardle from his home in Carina. He has worked with clay since 1991 and keeps classes small, so beginners get real guidance at every step. The studio hosts private events for birthdays, hens parties, Christmas gatherings and team building. Groups choose their activities from pottery painting, the pottery wheel, hand building, soap and candle making, resin pouring and alcohol ink. Extras can be added to suit the event, including catering, decorations, games with prizes, professional photography, slushy and fairy floss machines and a magic show. Every quote is tailored to the activities and bonuses chosen, so the day can be as simple or as full as the group likes. The pottery sip and paint runs for two hours, with two pieces per guest to decorate and trivia with prizes along the way. Snacks and soft drinks are supplied, and alcohol is BYO. Painted pieces are kiln fired and ready to collect around 7 to 10 days later. All guests at private events must be 18 or over. Send an enquiry with your date, group and chosen activities for a quote.
