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

We made our own teapots for my birthday with my 8 year old daughter. Marion was really good in helping us create our masterpiece :) and bringing an 8 year old's crazy idea (unicorn teapot 🦄) into reality. Highly recommend, great bonding activity

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

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--

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 :)

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!
