My Experience
I was told of this club while I was visiting Toowoomba recently for the Carnival of Flowers. They offered to give me a tour and throw some stuff on their wheels.
It is the cutest space across the road from Laurel Bank Park. I popped in and was treated by a shop at the front of the studio where members can sell their works. The first thing I noticed was just how quiet and zen the vibe is. It’s on a very bust intersection but the road noise just disappears when youre in there.
I’m on a bit of a tiny home journey and this pottery studio was calling my name. It was saying “come live in Toowoomba you idiot”.
I am a member of a great studio in Brisbane called Mas & Miek that has everything I need in Brisbane but the pull of moving out to the foothills of Toowoomba is strong.
I’m obsessed with pottery and it is a requirement to ideally be close to a studio space.
If you’re local and interest in joining you can do a class or workshop. It’s a great way to test the waters.
