Last updated April 2026

Pottery Penny in Elsternwick is a creative haven where kids aged 5 to 12 can shape their imagination into clay masterpieces. Little artists love crafting everything from whimsical teapots to fierce dinosaurs in a bright, welcoming studio, and parents adore taking home a unique keepsake the same day—no waiting for kiln drying here! **What to Bring** Comfortable clothes (clay can be messy!), a water bottle, and a smile. **Best Age Range** 5–12 years **Good to Know** Bookings are recommended, especially during school holidays, as sessions fill up quickly. The studio is air-conditioned, making it a perfect indoor escape on warmer days. **Nearby** Elsternwick Park (great for a post-class picnic), Rippon Lea Estate (historic gardens), and Glen Huntly Road (for a post-pottery treat). **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in—kids get excited to dive straight into the fun! If it’s your child’s first time, mention any allergies or sensitivities when booking, as some glazes may contain mild ingredients.
