Earth & KLĀ (KLĀ being the chemical name of ‘clay’; pronounced ‘Keh-La’) is a transformative space curated for you to relax, and to find your rhythm whilst immersing yourself in the art of clay making. Here you get to leave the world behind, and make space just for YOU when you attend one of our relaxing workshops.

We design and craft our tableware here at our Wembley studio in Perth, Western Australia, firing and glazing all our pieces onsite. All our pieces are made slowly, with love. No two pieces are alike – each carrying its own scattered speckles and marks, making it uniquely yours when you purchase your own Earth & KLĀ usable art.

We welcome you to explore our boutique small-group workshops and handmade offerings.

Workshops

We welcome you to explore our class options below.

Testimonials

Anniversary celebration

It was such a wonderful experience. I booked a class for my partner and I for our anniversary and it ended up to be very intimate. We loved how it was broken down into hand making and wheel work. Perfect for beginners. Nellie was so welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely come back again!

Corporate creative day

The Earth & KLĀ team ran a corporate workshop for my team at ‘Lush – The Content Agency’ and the feedback has been the best yet. We’ve done many team corporate days and this one was the best yet. The attention to detail, the space to find creativity and reflect but also come together as a team was exactly the right balance. The catering was fabulous and so tasty too. Highly recommend.

A really relaxing activity

I really enjoyed this workshop. Nellie was a great teacher and it was fun learning how to make something using a pottery wheel. The afternoon tea was delightful. A really relaxing activity, can’t wait to book the next one. Thanks Nellie!

Welcoming space

I recently completed the ‘Down Time’ session and it was a great way to learn the fundamentals of pottery. Nellie is such a great teacher, I will definitely be booking in for another session in the near future. She has created such a welcoming space and the morning tea provided was absolutely divine.

Beautiful attention to detail

The workshop I did with Earth and KLA was one of the most relaxing and fun experiences I have ever tried! Nellie is an incredible (and very patient) teacher. Each workshop is carefully curated with beautiful attention to detail (right down to the amazing morning tea provided). I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to try their hand at pottery or to anyone wanting to share a relaxing and fun experience with friends/family.

“…filled my cup.”

I left todays class truly feeling like I had filled my cup, after a lovely few hours of self care. Nellie has created a friendly, warm and inviting space for her classes. This also reflects in her teaching style, I learnt so much and felt so accomplished creating three pieces. I would highly recommend this class or any of Nellies class. She offers an amazing, informative and creative experience.

Intimate introduction to clay making

A delightful, intimate and extremely enjoyable introduction to all aspects of clay making. From turning to hand moulding and an incredible morning tea, made by the lovely Nellie to boot! I’m officially addicted and will be enrolling in Saturday classes soon.

Group activity with friends

I had such an amazing morning of pottery with 3 friends. Nellie is such a calm and attentive teacher. I felt relaxed and really enjoyed the process of learning to use the wheel and also hand making some things. Highly recommend this as a group activity with friends.

Amazing therapeutic experience

My mum, sister and I had the most amazing experience with Nellie at her studio, Earth & KLĀ Ceramics. We enjoyed hearing about Nellie’s story which was engaging and inspiring. We found the whole experience to be very therapeutic and thoroughly enjoyed creating our own individual pieces. It was lovely to spend time together doing this activity, away from the stresses of everyday life. The workshop was lovely, morning tea was super delicious, and we all highly recommend it!

Themia Sarris

Highly recommended

Spent a lovely Saturday morning with my Mum doing the High Tea Workshop. Nellie is an absolute delight! We felt welcomed from the get go and encouraged and supported throughout the class. Nellie is a wonderful teacher and we were pleasantly surprised with what we were able to create with her guidance. The morning tea was also yummy! Highly recommend! We can’t wait to collect our pieces after Nellie does all the hard work firing and glazing.

Our Story

‘When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery, you return to rhythm with yourself. When you take time to travel with reverence, a richer life unfolds before you. Moments of beauty begin to braid your days’ – John O’Donohue

Earth & KLĀ was founded by Nellie Ting, a former stay-at-home mum of three beautiful children who went on to rediscover herself through the journey of clay making. Earth & KLĀ was birthed out of an innate need to find expression of life’s meaning through the meditative process of ceramic work.

‘The tactile elements of clay work are so grounding, and requires one to be fully present to create. It forces you to return to rhythm with your true self’, says Nellie.

Not unlike clay, Earth & KLĀ is a becoming. It is an invitation for you to discover beauty, and your own syncopated rhythm when you walk through our doors. We look forward to welcoming you here.

Love,

Earth & KLĀ
