Sarah Schembri Ceramics is an excellent studio in Fitzroy. Sarah is a wonderful teacher who is super encouraging & can spot when just a tiny change of angle to your hand will make all the difference. The other teachers are also very good & sometimes just a different explanation will help you understand a concept and practice that concept a bit better. There’s definitely a knack to wheel pottery and some people get it faster than others. I was a slower one but there was a huge difference in my final products the second term. Now I’ve completed my 4th and still loving it, still have bad days and good days but it absolutely takes you out of your headspace to a place of concentration on “now”. Not to mention that you will have great hand made with love gifts for friends and family.
We have just completed the beginners wheel course and my daughter Elle and I had such a great time. Sarah was so positive, relaxed, friendly and made Elle feel right at home from the moment she walked in the door.
