My wife took me by surprise when she had planned a trip to Bundeena for my birthday, little did I know that there was a hidden gem! A small intimate outdoor studio that offered so much fun, excitement & joy, all in what I like to call a "crash course pottery session". Marion was such a wonderful lady and an excellent teacher! In such a short time she had taught us so much and we grew great appreciation towards pottery. This was most definitely enjoyable and would highly recommend this to anyone! Thank you so much for the experience, we can't wait to see our masterpieces!

Great day out and gift idea! I booked this for my Fiancee's birthday as we had discussed doing something similar and it was so much more fun then initially expected. We will be back for some more advance throwing for sure.

Customer service is great and I really learnt a lot from her. I have always been into pottery and Something at Mary's really helped me fully appreciate this art.

I would recommend this for anyone. I took my son who is only 12 and had never done this before we both had a fantastic time we are planning on going back for sure.

After some consideration I decided to attempt the art of pottery with my wife for her birthday and I was pleasantly surprised how fun it was. It is definitely much harder than it looks but after some practice I was getting the hang of it. The class was small and intimate so it was easy to ask the teacher for help (which was much needed). My wife and I would happily go back for more lessons!

Had a great time at Marion's learning pottery tips and tricks and sharing some great stories. Thanks for soldiering on despite your injury.

A beautiful space and a great teacher makes a workshop at Something at Mary's a very enjoyable experience - and my pottery pieces look amazing, too :)

We had a great time. I had been so looking forward to the class and it did not disappoint. Marion was so friendly and patient and we had a few good laughs. Would love to go back and would definitely recommend.

I was bought this as a birthday gift from my partner and it was one of the best presents I have ever received. The small groups make it a very intimate learning experience and has grown my thirst for learning more pottery. Would highly recommend this to anyone. The calming outdoor studio also adds to the experience in Bundeena. Thanks so much for the experience!

Marion is a great teacher, despite having some experience in pottery I learned lots of new techniques and tips. Will be back !

My boyfriend had booked us a class with Marion for my birthday and it was perhaps the best gift ever. Marion was an excellent teacher with great banter and made the whole experience a lot of fun. I highly recommend booking this in and getting your hands dirty. Thanks again Marion! I can't wait to see how our ceramics came out.

I had a wonderful two days with Marion. I loved the wheel and Marion's teaching is easy to follow. Thank you so much!

My mum and I had a fabulous afternoon with Marion. We made a weekend of it. Staying at cronulla beach for the night, catching the ferry from cronulla to bundeena and also having a wander around the beautiful town. Marion had a wonderful ability of being able to break down the tricky steps that are involved into very simple easy and achieveable tasks, with a sense of calm and fun too. We left very happy and shocked at how great our pottery pieces actually turned out in the end. She made us instant pros! Well kind of :) we will be back Thankyou! Highly recommend.

Went to Something at Mary's back in September with a friend and had a fantastic time. Marion organised a private lesson and was extremely accommodating in allowing the two of us to make different things on the day. My friend made a vase and cups on the turning wheel and I made a teapot and all the ancilliary parts on the wheel. In addition to demonstrating, Marion assisted us in turning our creations and was extremely patient in ensuring we both completed something we would later be able to show off at home (especially considering I collapsed at least 2 attempts). A bit of a hike to Bundeena but a really fun day and well worth the drive through the national forest from Sydney. Thanks Marion!!

Went to Something at Mary's with a few family members and it was great. Marion is lovely, has a sense of humour and is a great pottery teacher. We didn't realise we had gone well over our time as it was very comfortable sitting and chatting whilst making pottery. Can't wait for the next visit :)

This was a definite must do experience! Such a lovely area and a fantastic weekend being messy and creative. Would do it again!
