Cairns Potters Club

Last updated April 2026

Watch your child’s face light up as they get their hands dirty at the Cairns Potters Club in Parramatta Park, where messy, creative fun meets real pottery skills. These hands-on sessions let kids mould, paint and fire their own creations in a bright, airy studio designed just for little artists. No experience needed — the friendly instructors guide each child through pinch pots, slab building and glazing, turning clay into keepsakes they’ll treasure for years. Perfect for rainy days or when you need a break from the Cairns heat, the studio’s central Parramatta Park location makes it an easy add to your school holiday plan. Whether it’s a weekend craft session or a special birthday party, this is the place where memories are made from clay up. A must-visit for kids activities in Parramatta Park, Cairns. **What to Bring** Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained — clay and paint are part of the fun. Bring a water bottle and a light snack. Closed-toe shoes are best for safety around the pottery wheels. If attending a longer session, pack a change of clothes just in case. **Best Age Range** Best for 4–12 year olds. Toddler sessions are available for ages 2–3 with parent participation. **Good to Know** Book ahead in school holidays — classes fill quickly. Sessions run for 90 minutes. Cost is around $28 per child. Adults can join a session for $15 if they want to create too. Paid parking is available nearby. **Nearby** Stroll through Parramatta Park in Cairns for a picnic after class. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in and avoid rushing. Book siblings into the same session to save on fees. Let them wear an apron or old shirt — clay stains are inevitable.
