Why Auckland locals love Sunnyside Clay

I really enjoyed my clay class today with my daughter. Emily has been super awesome and very helpful. She made the class so much fun.very easy instruction to follow. Will definitely recommend this to my family and friends 😁

Angela Gunn

Emily is an amazing instructor - so kind and funny! We’ve already been here twice and will definitely come back again whenever we need more mugs. Emily takes the pieces home and fires them in her own kiln, which means they’re safe for food use. That’s something we can’t achieve at home. Already looking forward to next time❤️ Ohhh and it’s also relatively affordable compare to other pottery classes!

I was looking for a pottery class in Auckland for a friends bachelorette party, and as soon as I came across Emily I knew she was going to be a perfect fit. All of us had an amazing time. She supported our crazy and creative ideas that we had seen on social media or cooked up in our brains, and as complete beginners helped us actually bring them to life. I’ve just picked the pieces up for our whole group and they look amazing. Highly recommend for any event.

Charlotte Turner

Chose this pottery class as a surprise date. My partner and I both LOVED the experience from start to finish and couldn't stop telling people about it. Emily is a fantastic teacher, she was quick but clear in her instructions and was always willing to further explain or support you with your piece. We enjoyed ourselves so, so much and will very likely be back again. We picked up our pieces today and are so, so happy with them. Thank you so much Emily!!
