About
Clay Temple.co
Welcome to Clay Temple.co, a creative haven where art, mindfulness & community intersect.
Established in 2023, Clay Temple.co is dedicated to nurturing creativity and fostering a deeper connection with oneself through the timeless art of pottery nestled in the oldest part of Tamborine Mountain, Gallery Walk.
Our story
At Clay Temple.co, you’ll find a warm and inviting space where creativity flourishes. A place where you can explore and refine your skills in a heartfelt, intimate setting through the elements of earth, water and fire.
The name ‘Clay Temple’ reflects the heart of what I wanted to create: a sanctuary for those who seek a deeper connection with themselves through the art of pottery. Here, we celebrate creativity and find solace in the timeless practice of working with clay on the sacred grounds of Tamborine Mountain.
It’s a place where you can come to slow down, be present, and experience the meditative beauty of shaping clay. Think of it as a haven for those who want to explore their artistic side while reconnecting with the elemental forces of nature.
Life is fast.
Pottery is slow.
Small classes
At Clay Temple.co, one of the things we’re most proud of is the intimate & nurturing environment we offer.
Unlike many larger studios with 20 or more wheels & just one teacher, we keep our classes small—capping them at six students. We provide personalised attention & create a supportive space where you can receive undivided attention & guidance when learning the mechanics of wheel throwing.
Pottery for all ages
At Clay Temple.co, we are delighted to welcome children into our creative community.
While many studios reserve wheel throwing for older teens and adults, we are passionate about making this experience available to families, including kids throughout school holidays but all year round.
Our studio is designed to be a fun, safe & inspiring place where all ages can enjoy the joy of pottery together.
What we stand for
-
At Clay Temple.co, we prioritise personal connection over quantity. Unlike larger studios with numerous wheels and impersonal instruction, we offer small class sizes, with a maximum of six students per session. This ensures that each participant receives personalised attention and guidance.

Pottery is more than a craft; it’s a practice in mindfulness and self-expression. We are dedicated to helping our students experience the therapeutic benefits of working with clay.
For Dyllan Joyce, pottery has been a profound way to overcome personal challenges and connect deeply with the present moment. We extend this opportunity to our students, helping them find their own path to calm and creativity.

We aim to build a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone feels welcome.
We are proud to offer pottery experiences for children and families, fostering creativity from a young age and making art accessible to all. We also welcome diverse groups and private events, ensuring that everyone has a chance to experience the joy of pottery.

We are committed to giving back to our community. Through our studio, we strive to support local initiatives and contribute positively to our surroundings.
Our goal is to use our craft to make a difference, whether by hosting community events, offering scholarships, or participating in local charitable activities.
