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

Class times, what to bring, booking fees, missed classes — it’s all here. Still stuck? Give us a call or flick us a message.
In most of our courses, we charge a booking fee to lock in your spot in the class and the remaining amount has to be paid on the first day of the class, via bank transfer, cash or card.
NO, We provide all the materials needed to make pottery, just bring an old towel and an apron if you present yourself.
A catch-up lesson will be offered on another day with another group. If you are unable to attend on another day, a private lesson can be scheduled for a fee of $70.
Absolutely yes, the course is designed to suit all needs and levels. From beginners to intermediate/advanced students, we will have something new to show you and help you improve your ceramic skills.
Not really, but children should be concomitant by an adult.
First, you can try to offer it to a friend of yours and see if they want to take your spot, if that doesn’t work, if you give us 10 days notice before the class starts, you can reschedule your course for next month.
The booking fee in non refundable.
We are located at 4 Dixon St, Royal Park SA 5014.
In the 4 week course, we will teach you all the steps from making ceramics, from clay to final product. Its going to be two days of throwing pots on the wheel, one day of trimming your pots and one day of glazing them.
You can finish the course with up to 4 pots that you crafted from beginning to end.
Birthdays, team building, hens, celebrations, creative get-togethers or something completely different. Bring the team — the more the messier.
