The Potters Shed

Last updated April 2026

Watch tiny hands transform soft clay into treasured keepsakes at The Potters Shed in Royal Park, Adelaide’s cosiest pottery studio just for kids. Little potters aged 3 to 12 dig, shape and paint their own creations in messy, magical sessions designed to spark creativity and confidence. Each class is led by a patient ceramic artist who meets every child at their level, whether it’s crafting a dinosaur teapot or a rainbow cup. Parents love the quiet, clutter-free space tucked behind Dixon Street, perfect for little ones who get overwhelmed by big venues. It’s the kind of place where you’ll leave with a car full of clay masterpieces and a child beaming with pride. **What to Bring** Wear clothes you don’t mind getting clay on. Bring a smock or old shirt to protect clothes. Pack a water bottle and a small snack for after class. Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in. **Best Age Range** Perfect for 3–12 year olds. Toddler sessions available for ages 3–5 with caregiver participation. **Good to Know** Classes run during school holidays and after school. Book online 1–2 weeks ahead in peak season. Parking is free on surrounding streets. Sessions are 60 minutes long. **Nearby** Visit the nature playground at Olivewood Avenue in Prospect, Adelaide, for a post-class run-around. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends — it gets busy by 10am. Bring a spare change of clothes, kids always end up with clay in surprising places. Check the Facebook page for last-minute session openings during school holidays.
