About Mayfield Studios
A neighbourhood ceramics studio with heart and clay-stained hands.
Mayfield is a creative home for anyone looking to slow down, get their hands in clay, and connect through making. From beginners to experienced potters, kids to NDIS participants—everyone’s welcome.
We offer:
Weekly pottery classes and one-off workshops
Studio access and memberships
Kids programs and NDIS-supported sessions
A place to learn, belong, and create together
Whether you're shaping your first bowl or returning to clay after years, this is a place where stories unfold slowly—one piece at a time.
Our Story
Mayfield Studios began with a simple idea: that creativity has the power to ground us, connect us, and slow us down.
Founded by Sally Ninham and her brother Michael, the studio grew out of a love of local making and community learning. Our classes are about much more than pottery—they’re about showing up, sharing space, and making things by hand in good company.
Our Space
Tucked into the heart of Abbotsford, our studio is full of warm light, good conversation, and the gentle rhythm of making. We’ve got wheels, tools, glazes—and always a kettle on.
Come in, say hello, and see what you might shape with us.
Inclusion Matters
We welcome participants of all backgrounds and abilities. Our studio supports NDIS access and strives to make creativity available to everyone.
"I didn’t just learn to make bowls—I found my rhythm again."
