Ceramic painting in Auckland: price guide
Ceramic painting in Auckland varies in price depending on the location and duration of the class, as well as the materials used. (For example learning to paint your own mug might cost less than pot painting, simply because of the size of the objects.) With so many ceramic painting classes in Auckland, you can choose a workshop to suit your budget. Some clay studios charge $60 per person for a basic two-hour session, including a small piece like a mug or decorative plate. At the higher end of the price scale, you'll find pottery painting workshops for around $150. These are often more comprehensive classes in which you'll receive two to three pre-made pieces of pottery to decorate. At the end of the class, these pieces will likely be bisque-fired, clear-glazed and glaze-fired for you by the studio, making them fully-functional ceramic artworks.
