Pottery Classes Shellharbour
We are opening a new ceramic studio in Shellharbour!
A little more clay, a little more creativity.
We’re bringing the joy of making with clay to Shellharbour!
At Black Duck Studio, we believe there’s something special about slowing down, getting your hands muddy and making something from scratch. It’s time away from the everyday, a chance to try something new and the satisfaction of creating something that’s entirely your own.
We’re working towards bringing a permanent Black Duck Studio space to Shellharbour, but we’re not waiting until then to get the clay out!
From festive Christmas workshops to beginner clay courses and creative experiences, we’re excited to start building our local clay community — and we’d love you to be part of it.

A new chapter for Black Duck Studio
