About Hazy Tales Pottery Studio
Hazy Tales is a working pottery studio in Drysdale, set among gum trees on the Bellarine. The space is bright and open, with big windows, polished concrete floors, long worktables and a separate lounge with plush seating and neon art. Groups book the studio exclusively, so a party has the room to itself. Adult sessions cover hens parties, birthdays, Christmas get-togethers, corporate team building and evening clay socials. Guests learn to build a piece from scratch, choosing from a vase, a saki set, cups, bowls, sculpted birds, a bird feeder, an oil burner or a wall hanging, and can add a name or design. Each adult gets one drink on arrival, then it is BYO for wine, beer and platters, and a couple of clay games help warm everyone up. Most sessions run about three hours. Weaving, macramé and pyrography can be added for hens groups, and small resin art workshops are run separately. Kids' birthday parties last two hours. Children make a bowl and turn it into an animal or creature, break for party food, then paint their pieces and finish with cake and games such as limbo and musical statues. After every event the studio takes care of drying, both kiln firings and the glazing, and pieces are usually ready to collect about five to six weeks later. Private dates are confirmed directly with the studio owner, Sally.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can come to a private session?
Private adult sessions need at least six guests and can take up to about forty. Smaller groups of two to five can join one of the public clay social dates instead, or ask for a new date to be listed.
What does an adult party cost and what is included?
Hens, birthday, Christmas and corporate packages are $85 per person. That covers tuition, tools, clay, one drink on arrival, use of the kitchen, plates and glasses, plus the bisque and glaze firings after the event.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes. After the welcome drink it is BYO for wine, beer and platters. The studio has a kitchen with an oven, some fridge and freezer space, tea and coffee, and the studio can suggest local caterers.
How do kids' birthday parties work?
Kids' parties run for two hours at $35 per child, with a minimum charge for 12 and up to 28 children. Families bring the party food and cake, and the studio supplies reusable plates, cups, clay, paints and a few games.
When do we get our finished pieces?
The studio dries each piece, fires it once, glazes it and fires it again, so work is usually ready about five to six weeks after the event. Please collect it within a few weeks of hearing it is ready, as storage space is limited.
