Youth Arts & Recreation Centre

Last updated April 2026

At the Youth Arts & Recreation Centre in Hobart’s city heart, kids dive into hands-on pottery classes designed just for them. The air hums with creativity as little hands shape clay into cups, animals, and treasures they’ll treasure for years. Sessions are run by patient, encouraging teachers who know how to make messy fun feel like magic. Whether a first-time potter or a budding artist, every child leaves with something made by their own two hands. It’s a quiet but joyful corner of Hobart where art, skill, and smiles come together. Search “pottery classes for kids in Hobart” and this is the place parents trust. **What to Bring** Wear clothes that can get paint or clay stains. Bring a water bottle and a small towel. Pack a snack if classes run through lunch. **Best Age Range** Children aged 5 to 12 get the most out of these sessions. **Good to Know** Classes run after school and during school holidays. Book online at least a day ahead. Single sessions cost around $25 per child. Car parking is available nearby on Market Place. **Nearby** Pop next door to the Elizabeth Street Market for fresh treats and local crafts after class. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in and meet the teacher. Let your child wear an apron or old shirt — clay is harder to remove than paint. Keep a camera ready — the finished pieces make perfect keepsakes.
