Everything to Know About Paint & Sip

Out on Friday Hut Road in the green hills behind Newrybar, Brooklet is home to a working pottery studio that turns a birthday into a hands-on making session. Instead of paint and canvas, the medium here is clay.

How a Brooklet clay birthday comes together:

  • Who it suits: Byron School of Clay takes party groups of five or more, aged 16 and over.
  • Two styles: guests either sit at a pottery wheel to throw a cup or bowl, or work at a table pinching and coiling by hand.
  • Guidance: a teacher leads the session from the first lump of clay, so no one needs to have tried pottery before.
  • Keepsakes: each guest picks their two favourite pieces, which the studio glazes and fires for collection about four weeks later.
  • Cost: pottery parties start at $100 per person for the two-hour workshop.

Platters or bubbly for the birthday can be talked through with the school when you enquire.

Planning a pottery birthday at Brooklet

  • The private wheel throwing workshop gives your group the whole studio for two hours.
  • Hand-building is the gentler choice for guests who would rather stay seated than wrestle a spinning wheel.
  • Clothes and shoes that can take a smear of clay are a good idea, plus an old towel for the lap.
  • Share your preferred date, time and head count, and the school checks its studio calendar.

Why a Brooklet clay studio works for a birthday

  • Everyone goes home with something they made, rather than a photo of a painted canvas.
  • The hinterland setting makes it an easy half-day outing for guests staying around Byron Bay.
  • Wedging, centring and pulling up a pot give the group plenty to laugh about together.
  • A teacher on hand means the birthday host can join in rather than run the activity.
