Come learn how to make pottery with us, in Adelaide!

Hi there, I’m Rodrigo Kimelblat, the founder of The Potters’ Shed, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my creative space!

My journey with pottery began 5 years ago when I first got my hands into clay. Before that I had a background in marketing and music, which taught me the power of community and the importance of following your passion.

The Shed has since grown into a community where people of all skill levels come together, learn new techniques and make pieces they’re proud of. Whether it’s wheel throwing or hand building, I’ll guide you through every step — from shaping your first bowl to trimming and glazing your final piece.

Come join us, get your hands dirty, and let’s create something special together!

Events for big groups

Birthdays, team days and community events — up to 50 people at the hand-building tables.

Easy lessons

Small classes and a teacher right beside you. Wonky first pots welcome.

I started at the Potters shed doing a one day course, then a 4 week course, then 8 week, and now I’m part of the potters club, hanging out every Sunday making art. … Rodrigo has created a supportive and inclusive community…

Had such a great time at The Potter’s Shed! The pottery class was both relaxing and a lot of fun. Glee and Rodrigo were incredible instructors — super patient, encouraging, and full of great tips.

Such a great experience! Thank you, Rodrigo, for teaching us how to throw on the wheel. It’s been a pleasure being part of this 8-week course — learning how to work with clay and spending time with such lovely people. I can highly recommend this course and will definitely be coming back for another round soon ☺️

Beautiful space with an inclusive collective of creative potter’s who love to share their craft. Took a 4 week course to try at first and I’ve kept going back! The artists/instructors are helpful and it’s a relaxed and supportive space!
