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!
Hares in Clay - 26-04-2025
Our lovable mudd bunnies ...
The Hares in Clay workshop is now second only to the Bathing Beauties in popularity - everyone loves these cute little characters.
In this workshop you will be shown how to create your very own clay Hare, using slabs and coils. Once formed, we will apply oxides and dry glazes to complete your piece.
Kookaburras and Frogmouths - 17-05-2025
Australian Natives
This is a workshop solely designed for you to make a kookaburra, frogmouth or maybe a cute barn owl.
Once fired they can be placed on a deck, tree or simply display them on a log made in clay!

Flying Fox - Mother and Pup - 07-06-2025
New in 2025
Bats have been a Peace of Green staple for decades and a popular choice by the patrons.
Hard to believe that this is the first-ever bat workshop. They look great hanging in a tree. Come along and give it a try!
Price includes clay, bisque firing, glazing and Raku firing.
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!
