Workshops

Develop your creativity and produce an amazing piece of clay art worthy of proud display. As an aspiring artist, with or without experience, you will make your pottery or sculpture masterpiece from your own creative ingenuity, at your own pace and with plenty of one-on-one guidance from Cathy Spencer, Award Winning Potter and Sculptor.

The Fried Mudd studio runs several workshops throughout the year. You will find a list below of our current workshops. We also cater to private groups – if you have your own group of friends let me know what dates work for you and we can create a one day or weekend workshop just for you!

Curlew and Chick - 21-06-2025

Also new in 2025

I had not seen a curlew until a few years ago on Moreton Island and resolved then and there to make one. We now have one that comes and visits us at the warehouse from time to time.

This is the workshop from those experiences.

Price includes clay, bisque firing, glazing and Raku firing.

Weekend Sculpture Workshop - 19-07-2025

The ultimate sculpture class

This two-day workshop is designed for those that have a desire to reproduce the human form in clay. If you want the time to learn and to spend on the finer details of your work, then this is the class for you.

Spreading the workshop over two days allows greater focus on facial detail, hands, feet and other complex features. The Saturday, will be a full day (9:00 - 4:00), followed by a more relaxed start to the Sunday (10:00am - 3:00pm, or as long as required).

This exclusive workshop is limited to six places only!
