Bellbrae Clay is located on Wadawurrung Country,

a gorgeous 6 acre bush property on the iconic Great Ocean Road, Bellbrae.

Bellbrae Clay was born from the need to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, nature and our community.

Working with clay in its natural form involves nurturing to manipulate the mud and sculpt to your desired result. To be still, focus your mind and play. Getting back to nature, fresh air, mud in hand and chats with friends… Bliss!

During our workshops you will learn the core hand building techniques, all workshops are suitable for beginner to advanced level. Small class sizes allows us to work with the ability of each student.

Clay is a slow process, we are so use to having everything we want at the click of a button… We can’t rush clay like we can’t rush our plants to grow. Your work may take up to 4-6 weeks to be ready for collection depending on nature (drying process) and the size of your forms.

Good things take time. remembering this is an ancient form of making when life was slower and some may say easier… Clay is about the process not just the end result and that to me is meditative in itself.

Head to our store to book your workshop and let’s start creating!

Play - create - connect.

*Please note: whichever workshop you choose, you will not be taking your work home on the day. Clay is an ancient method of making which takes time to dry before your work is fired (in a specialty kiln). Your pieces will then be glazed (painted) depending on the course you choose. Please be aware your pieces will take between 4-6 weeks until they are in your hot little hands. I will take care of your precious work until then.
