On a quiet street at 5 Souter Place in Weston, ACT, a compact ceramic studio turns raw bisque into glazed, fired keepsakes. Ceramics enthusiasts and first-timers converge at the Ceramic Glazing Workshop for Beginners (Private) to learn the what, why, and how of glazing in a single hands-on session. The workshop runs around 2.5 hours and accepts up to ten people; bring up to five bisque-fired pieces or purchase blanks on site. Deep Blue Ceramics supplies a broad suite of glazes and underglazes, tools, and kiln-firing—your finished pieces will be ready to collect roughly four weeks after class. Inside the studio you’ll find the practical elements that matter: a kiln bank for final firing, benches bristling with brushes and sponges, glazing wells arranged by finish, and stations for dipping, brushing, and sgraffito. The instructor walks students through glaze chemistry in plain language—what glaze does, how to prepare a surface, common glazing techniques and how to pack work for the kiln—so that even nervous beginners leave with the confidence to finish future pieces at home. Sessions are often combined with the final class in Deep Blue Ceramics’ beginner series, making this a natural stop for anyone who has already made pots with a take-home kit. What makes this workshop special is its low-pressure, practical focus and the inclusion of kiln firing. Rather than a one-off decorative tutorial, you get the complete finishing process that turns porous bisque into food-safe, vitrified objects. The studio’s glaze library includes mattes, glosses and specialty effects; the hands-on demos demystify glazing faults and how to avoid them next time. Because the class is private-friendly, it’s an ideal choice for small groups, gift experiences, or follow-ups to home pottery projects. Weston’s suburban setting gives the studio a relaxed, local feel: after class you can walk past eucalypts and suburban parks typical of the Canberra region. This place also sits on the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal people—ask about local craft connections and community classes if you’re curious. Practical notes: public dates require a minimum number of attendees, and finished work is available for collection in about four weeks. Whether you’re finalizing a treasured take-home piece or experimenting with color and texture for the first time, this glazing workshop is a tidy, expert-led way to turn your pottery into finished art. Bring finished bisque pieces (maximum five) or buy blanks at the studio; all glaze materials, tools and kiln firing are included. The class runs about 2.5 hours and suits beginners. Public dates need at least five guests to run, and sessions are commonly combined with the last beginner course. Booking ahead secures space for small groups and private sessions —check email or SMS for last-minute confirmations please.
