About Céramiques Geelong
Céramiques Geelong is a wheel-based pottery studio in Geelong West and part of the small Céramiques group of studios. Classes centre on the pottery wheel, with teachers guiding students through centring, shaping, trimming and glazing. Private group classes run for two hours and are pitched at whatever level the group needs, which makes them an easy fit for birthdays and hens groups. Each guest has a go at throwing their own pieces, and one piece per person is glazed and fired by the studio. Pricing is per potter and falls as the group grows, starting at ten people and going up to 35. Finished pieces are ready to collect several weeks after the class, once drying and firing are complete. Beyond private bookings, the studio runs two-hour intro classes on Saturdays for up to 16 people, where students make between two and four pieces after a quick look around the studio. Eight-week courses on weeknights and Sunday afternoons cover wheel throwing and hand-building for beginners through to intermediate potters. Courses are designed for adults, and teenagers aged 16 and over can join when a parent or guardian takes the same class. Private group dates are arranged directly with the studio.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private group class cost?
Private classes are priced per potter: $80 for 10 to 12 people, $75 for 13 to 16, $70 for 17 to 20, $65 for 21 to 25 and $60 for 26 to 35. The price covers the two-hour class and one fired, glazed piece each.
Do we need any pottery experience?
No experience is needed. The group class covers basic wheel throwing and the teacher adjusts the pace to suit the group, so complete beginners and people who have thrown before can both take part.
When can we collect our pieces?
Pieces need time to dry, then go through glazing and firing in the studio kiln. Intro class pieces are usually ready to pick up about four to five weeks after the class.
How long is a class?
Private group classes and Saturday intro classes both run for two hours. Eight-week courses meet for two hours once a week in the same time slot each week.
Can teenagers join a class?
Classes are designed for adults. Teenagers aged 16 and over can book a course as long as a parent or guardian is enrolled in the same class with them.
