A boutique pottery school in the native bush of Hunua Gorge, Half Pint Pottery at 245 Hunua Road is also a studio, a mug shop and a gallery, with a kiln firing service.
Adult classes cover beginner pottery, hand building and wheel workshops, with individual attention. Weekend workshops run, and small team corporate events are held during the week. A group of five can request a special workshop. The firing service fires bisque at cone 06 and glaze at cone 6, for potters and the public. Work can be dropped off or sent with an email request, and an invoice comes by email. The site has a bee garden, a pond, outdoor sculptures and a glasshouse made from recycled windows. The studio is about 35 minutes' drive from Auckland CBD on weekends.
