What is the max number of people in the studio

We can fit between 10 to 12 people comfortably in the studio for hand building

Do I need any pottery experience?

Not at all! Our classes and workshops are suitable for beginners, and you don't need to be artistic to join in. I'll guide you through the process and help you along the way.

What should I wear?

Clay can get a little messy, so wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting dirty. Aprons are available, closed-in shoes are recommended.

What is included in the price?

Your booking includes the clay, use of tools and equipment, and the firing and glazing of your finished piece, unless otherwise stated in the workshop details.

Can I take my pottery home on the day?

Unfortunately, no. Your piece needs time to dry before it can be fired in the kiln. It will then be glazed and fired again, so there's a little waiting involved!

When will my pottery be ready?

Finished pieces are generally ready for collection in around 3–4 weeks. Firing schedules and drying times can vary, so we'll let you know when your pottery is ready to collect.

Can I choose the colour of my pottery?

Absolutely! Depending on your workshop, you'll have a selection of underglazes or dipping glazes to choose from. Please keep in mind that some colours can change during firing, so the finished result may look a little different from what you expect.

What happens if my pottery cracks or breaks?

Pottery is a hands-on process, and sometimes things don't go to plan. Cracking, warping or breakages can happen during drying and firing, even when we take care. While I'll always do my best to ensure your piece makes it through, I can't guarantee every piece will survive the process.

Can I bring food and drinks?

For selected private workshops and group bookings, you're welcome to bring your own food and drinks. Please check your booking details beforehand, as arrangements may vary depending on the session.

Can I book a private group or celebration?

Definitely! Claytivity offers private pottery sessions for birthdays, hens parties, family get-togethers and corporate events. Get in touch to discuss your group size, preferred date and what you'd like to make.

Do you offer children's pottery classes and parties?

Yes! Claytivity offers children's workshops, school holiday activities and birthday parties. Activities are adapted to suit the age group, with plenty of options for making and decorating pottery.

What is your cancellation policy?

Claytivity has limited spaces, and many sessions sell out. Cancellation credits depend on how much notice you provide, and late cancellations may not be eligible for a credit. No refunds are offered.

Cancellations 4 days out - full credit towards another session

Cancellations 3 days out - We’ll offer a 50% credit of the amount paid, which can be used towards a future session.

Cancellations within 48 hours of your session - Unfortunately, refunds and credits are not available, as we may not have enough time to fill your spot.

Last-minute cancellations please text the studio on 0493335792 as soon as possible if you need to cancel.

If Claytivity needs to reschedule

We do our best to offer a range of parties and workshops. However, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a session if necessary, with reasonable notice.

If Claytivity needs to cancel or reschedule your session, we’ll provide a full credit valid for 2 years, so you can join us again at a time that suits you.

What happens if someone in my group can't attend?

For private group bookings, your price is based on the number of people booked and the materials and arrangements prepared for your session. Unfortunately, refunds aren't available for places that go unused if someone in your group can't attend.

What if our Group runs over the allocated time?

It’s easy to lose track of time in the world of clay! I’ll do my best to keep things on track, but sometimes people get a little swept away in the making. If your group runs over the allocated time, an additional fee of $50 per half hour will apply.

Can I make something specific?

Often, yes! Depending on the type of workshop, there are different projects and techniques to try. If you have a particular idea in mind, let me know when enquiring and we can discuss what's possible.

Where is Claytivity located?

Claytivity is a small pottery studio in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. Exact details and any arrival instructions will be provided with your booking.
