The Wheelhouse Studio

Great little studio. Dean is so patient with new students. I've done a 4 and 6 week course, both were great. Making pottery on the wheel is so therapeutic.

4.5 Stars.I completed a number of ‘terms’ here at the Wheelhouse. Belinda is a fantastic instructor - she adapts her teaching style based on the students goals/learning style. I started off in her class, and continued enrolling in terms with her.The Friday night class was mostly other young people, and was a great vibe to end the week. I would definitely recommend. I think it is reasonably priced.The reason for deducting 0.5 stars is because it is very difficult to do a makeup class (they do have one class a week) - there’s not really a lot of flexibility, which can be challenging in an 8 week term.There is free street parking in the evenings.

The Wheelhouse is great whether you just want to try out pottery or you want to gain skills and learn how to create some amazing pieces. The teachers are all incredibly talented artists, patient and you can tell they love teaching. From booking your classes, to walking in the door you feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. A great place to learn, meet new friends and let go of all the other stuff going on!

Such a rewarding experience, kind teachers, lovely owners and a beautiful space to learn. Our group in the intro class had such a good time and everyone was so thrilled to be creating together. Our finished products turn out great and the studio was kind enough to let us take some of the previous classes forgotten works home. Can’t recommend this experience enough.

Beautiful and inclusive space with amazing and talented teachers!I have been taking term wheel classes for a year now and I have always felt very welcomed and at home in the studio. The space is light and airy with a calm and fun vibe but what really makes The Wheelhouse is the people! Dean, Garry and the team create a judgement free space for learning and I have been lucky enough to be taught by Fleur, Dean and now Belinda. They are all incredibly skilled creatives with unique styles and approaches and are all very encouraging, patient and kind. I had never tried pottery until joining the studio but my creative confidence has grown hugely in such a short time because of this amazing team! If you have been thinking about trying out ceramics, The Wheelhouse is a must! Can’t rave about my home away from home enough!!

I was lucky enough to take a 2 hour introductory class in the one weekend The Wheelhouse was able to be open between state-wide lockdowns, and had an absolutely fantastic time. Dean is a wonderful teacher, he is very patient and extremely talented in teaching new techniques to those who had never experienced the pottery wheel. His passion for what he does is evident and inspiring. The cost of the class was so reasonable and included the glazing and firing of one piece (additional pieces only $10 more). Thanks for a wonderful morning and I will definitely be signing up for a 4 or 6 week course once live goes back to normal!

I had the best time doing a private class with Dean at The Wheelhouse. The owners Dean and Garry are some of the best humans alive and they are so passionate and authentic. They are super knowledgeable about pottery and genuinely want to share this with the world. Totally the kind of business I love to support. If you are in Melbourne and looking for a pottery class that has good practices, good people and good experiences, I would highly recommend the Wheelhouse over others ♥

If you’re looking for a supportive, fun pottery studio then you can’t go past the Wheelhouse. The team are super friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve been a student for a year and it’s the highlight of my week! You learn something new every class, it’s completely addictive and awesome to see how you improve over time. Couldn’t recommend the team enough!

My friend and I had a fun date playing and making cute art pieces at The Wheelhouse Studio.Thank you Dean and your team for your patience and for creating this beautiful space for us to try and to learn new skills. It's a rewarding experience, and is highly recommended.
