Maths and Science Teacher turned potter Brian Started Woodside Ceramics with wife Amanda in 2018. In 2023 opening what is now their Dayboro store Brian began by providing hand made ceramics and lessons to the community. With the introduction of coffee later that year the response from the community was positive and with the growth of the coffee side of the business and the birth of our first child Brian’s lack of time caused the ceramics part to subside.

Always proudly supportive of the arts community 🙂

The Experience

Look at the world through the eyes of an artist:

The calming effect;
As clay is thrown on the wheel, the clay platelets slide over each other. It’s an extraordinary sensation to have a solid form that expands or contracts between your fingers. The slippery beauty of clay is quite addictive.

It is a reasonably physical hobby. Bags of clay weight 12.5 kg, so just lifting those around is a mini-workout. The kneading of clay and upward pulls on the wheel all get the muscles going

Even if a design is to be made repeatedly there are subtle differences between each piece. Every piece of handmade pottery is genuinely unique – that’s why I love it.

After cooking meat, baking clay was the first thing that humans did to chemically alter our environment on purpose. It’s a romantic notion to think of someone digging up my pottery in a few thousand years

love of clay – and the power of touch.

Woodside Ceramics offers some brilliant 1-hour pottery introduction sessions. Be sure to visit their website to book your experience 🙂
