A note of firing:
Pottery can be a challenging hobby, sometimes on the first go, you might not create something you love. We will do our best to help coach you along the way. Ceramics can sometimes be unpredictable. Due to this, there are limitations on the size of your items, sadly pieces break during the firing process and we want to ensure you have a beautiful and functional piece. Trust us, we have had to learn from heartbreak!
House of Hobby works with some of Perth's best creatives to ensure an unforgettable creative experience.
