Marion is a fantastic teacher! From not having any experience in wheel throwing, we managed to whip up 3 pieces in such a short time with her guidance. A really enjoyable class in a beautiful location. Thank you Marion! We hope to be back to make some teapots!

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her experience of making a smushing platter with 'real clay' at Something At Mary's for her 7th birthday. Marion made it feel easy and fun and it was a mother-daughter time together.

Donna Tarnow-Mordi

What a fabulous introduction to pottery we had! I took my two kids (13 and 16) for introductory class and it was awesome - the 13 yo boy was sceptical on the way there but within minutes he was beaming. Highly recommend

The tea pot making workshop i did last month was easy to follow, using hand building techniques.

Sara Lord

2018-10-12T21:08:02+0000

In the last week I experienced both the Beginners - Wheel Throwing and Wheel Turning classes. Pottery was a bucket list item for years, however I am glad that I was able to tick it off at Something at Mary’s. Marion is an extraordinary teacher. She not only knows her craft but she also knows how to connect with people. From the moment you enter she immediately makes you feel at ease. The first class I experienced was with other students and the second class I had the privilege of being alone. Whether in a class or with a single student Marion utilises the same attentiveness, awareness and care, all with an atmosphere of lightness and fun. If you like me have had giving pottery a go on your bucket list, I highly recommend popping down to Something at Mary’s and allowing Marion to teach you. Oh and don’t worry if your highly analytical or think too much, you will have a ball! Trust me! #illbeback

Cyril Laugeon

2018-10-08T01:55:44+0000

I went there with my gfd as a surprise birthday gift and she loved it! We took the teapot making class which was clay molding as opposed to wheel throwing, but the instructor's experience really made it worth it, and we both now have two pieces! Highly recommended--

Andy Nguyen

2018-10-08T01:19:44+0000

Great fun throwing clay around. We really enjoyed our experience! Thanks again.

Recently did a pottery wheel throwing course with these guys- such a great day trip from Sydney (make a day of it- go bushwalking/picnicking in the Royal NP!) Had such fun and learned a lot- would absolutely recommend!

Raine Gui

2018-09-06T10:48:29+0000

We had a really good time doing the pottery wheel throwing class. The teacher was very informative and provided very clear instructions. Our pieces turned out really well. I highly recommend this.

Had purchased this experience for my gfs birthday based on the outstanding reviews and Marion definitely delivered. Was such a delight to learn pottery with Marion - she made our first go at the potters wheel enjoyable and easy to understand. Can't wait to finally plate something up in my handmade bowls!

Bernadine Brewer

2018-05-19T03:51:51+0000

I had a lovely time at the smushing platter class. An easy intro to working with clay, you get in the zone and the time flies! Now I'm keen to go back and have a go on the wheel too. Thanks for sharing your ceramic skills, Marion!

Peter Do

2018-05-15T06:39:55+0000

Super fun date idea! Was brilliant from start to finish!

Taronish Ghista

2018-05-13T19:49:10+0000

A lovely bonding experience to share with family or friends or even if you want to do something special for yourself! Very supportive environment, there were patient and clear instructions for what you are doing from Mary and also really flexible as I even took my baby along! The size/quality of the teapots we made also exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Lee Turley

2018-05-05T21:18:04+0000

Had a great time at this pottery class on the wheel with my daughter. At the end of the day we made three pieces which actually looked awesome. heaps of fun and would highly recommend.

Marine Roujon

2018-04-30T01:54:47+0000

we did a girls weekend group activity and it was fantastic. we all had fun and we get to keep a souvenir that can actually be used !

Sam Helder

2018-04-22T22:37:18+0000

We went down for the teapot making, and had a great time, I was offered a cup of tea to start with, then we were shown some mould options to start out design. We were free to choose what our pieces would look like, but also advised on things that wouldn't work so well, so that was a good balance. In the end I finished a decent looking piece, which I would not be ashamed of gifting to a friend. Great date idea, and nice location with cafes and the beacv to visit after. Yeah I'd definitely recommend it!

Becca McClure

2018-04-20T01:38:30+0000

I booked smashing class for myself and my best friend for her 30th birthday, it was honestly the best experience we could have had! We loved everything about it the class was great the teacher (Marion) was lovely a perfect day out

Pablo B. M. Comino

2018-04-10T07:32:39+0000

I went to the Pottery course on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I arrived at Bundeena at 11am and the course was starting at 1pm so I had time enough to enjoy the beach and swim a little. I had never tried any artistic approach and that´s why I was a little anxious. When I got to the venue there was a guy who was gardening and he told me Marion was about to arrive and then the class would start. When she got there we started and the aim was to make three potteries... The aim was targeted! The course was awesome, I definitely recommend it! It ignited an interesting part of my brain so now I´m a hundred per cent sure I wanna boost and develop it. Thanks for the opportunity.

We went to Something at Mary’s for a Hen’s day and had a lot of fun making teacups. Mary was lovely and very hospitable, the studio space was small, but did the job. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Linda Bonita

2018-03-07T03:07:08+0000

Mum and I went and had a fantastic day out together. We were so happy with our teapots, the level of assistance and patience provided by our teacher. We highly recommend this course.

Boris Li

2018-02-26T09:53:35+0000

It was amazing! The instructions were clear even though we are not native english speakers. Finishing the class in the morning then we went to the wedding cake rock. A great day with a good pace.

Tiss Garcia

My boyfriend got me the throwing and turning classes for Christmas. We absolutely loved making our pieces and having a chat with Marion. Our pieces turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier with our while experience.

Katherine Kerr

2018-02-18T09:03:29+0000

I had such a great first pottery experience at Something at Mary’s ! It was a birthday pressie from my partner and I was made to feel so welcome and had a whole lot of fun while creating some beautiful pieces. Highly recommend 👍

Dan DoNt

2018-02-11T04:06:38+0000

My partner and I went for the Saturday throwing and Sunday Turning classes. Marianne showed us how to do the basics and helped us and others get 3 pieces of pottery each made up Small cup, medium cereal bowl and sml/med sized bowl. The classes are small (4 ppl) and are run in a quirky little garage, its small and basic (a bit hot if its hot outside, lol) but the space and the weather soon became irrelevant when we immersed ourselves in the cool clay fun. Marianne went the extra mile and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Amber Boardman

2018-02-07T06:42:22+0000

My partner and I both loved making bowls at Mary's! I bought him this class for our anniversary and also because we had broken most of the bowls in our house. It was his first time trying it and he aced it. Mary was super encouraging and knowledgeable about her craft. A fine teacher. I would recommend to anyone.

Anna Eid

My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our practical experience making pottery and we learnt so much in a short period of time. We were surprised at our end result and made three beautiful bowls. We had such a fun time together and Mary was very skilled and professional. Thanks for the experience!

Alex Siegers

2017-12-07T01:14:19+0000

Mary is so lovely. Her little workshop is very welcoming for potters of all abilities - complete starters to experienced wheel potters. She has such a huge range of kilns and glazes and everything. We had a great day, finished with fish and chips on the beach!

Luke Thompson

2017-11-12T09:22:15+0000

I had a pottery class and loved it so much I brought my son for a lesson as well. Lessons are given with patience and care and a pragmatic easy to grok language. I'd recommend having a go to anyone!

Alex Donley

Devin Liyanage

2017-08-09T06:25:53+0000

A picnic at royal national park followed by the afternoon here gave us a day that was very well spent! She is a great teacher and was perfect for my partner and I who were pretty useless potters. We are very keen to receive our pieces!

David Zhang

Pippa Hughes

2017-05-20T05:51:40+0000

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.

Henry Huynh

2017-05-10T10:58:14+0000

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!

Zead Ghalayini

Channtel McPherson

2017-04-20T07:02:51+0000

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!

Kate Dobinson

2017-04-10T08:30:43+0000

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.

Ellie Vernon

2016-12-11T01:02:49+0000

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.

2016-10-13T14:07:22+0000

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 :)

Stefanie Boensch

2016-04-06T01:15:21+0000

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

Yae Young Jun

2016-04-02T23:53:20+0000

I had my hen's party here (making teapots!) and it was great! I know it's a bit far for Sydneysiders, but it's definitely worth the trip - there's food around the area and a lovely beach close by to either relax or have a picnic at! All my friends who came said they loved it. The people here were very caring and friendly as they were more than willing to make adjustments for us and cater to our needs. They also make the classes quite entertaining and funny! I've just picked up our teapots yesterday and they look amazing <3. Thank you Something at Mary's for making a special day so much more memorable!
