Busy Start to the Year – Pottery Classes in Ballarat

By Comments:

Well, here we are past the half way mark of the term, and it has gone so fast! Classes are all full and if many more adult enrolments come in for term two I may have to add a fourth class! I feel a studio extension coming on!!

There has been a wide variety of artwork produced in classes this term – various handbuilding projects, sculpture and wheel throwing.

The CLASSES and SHOP pages have been updated for term two dates and prices, so to enrol or re-enrol simply visit those pages. Please note the adults term is an eleven week term due to this term being only nine weeks due to Easter. This means the fee is a little more, but it was a little less this term.

So without further ado I shall leave you with some pics from the classes during this term – have a great week 🙂

Children’s Pottery Classes Begin this Week

Children’s Pottery Classes Begin this Week – Ballarat & Surrounds

Term One is always a bit of a blur with recovering from Christmas and school holidays, school fees, new school books, new school uniforms… the list goes on!

And yes, pottery classes start this week too!

But don’t panic, there are still spaces available, and if you’re not organised enough for this week the following week or mid term enrolments are welcome. Your child won’t have missed out on anything. Children within the class work at their own pace and are different levels, so nobody feels left behind.

If you enrol in week two or mid term I simply adjust the term fees to reflect how many weeks are left in the term. If you enrol online this can be credited back via clay and/or firing fees.

Children’s classes are held on Saturday mornings or Wednesday afternoons.

You can enrol online via the SHOP or call me on 0438382522 🙂

Meanwhile here are some pics of works made in the children’s class from last term.

School Holiday Kids Class

School Holiday Kids Class – Pottery in Ballarat

It was a hot windy today  – 40+ in fact!

This mornings class started at 10am, before the heat of the day, so the studio was reasonably cool, and though a small group they were enthusiastic about creating fantasy creatures!

The brief was hand modelling a basic shape, then adding detail and painting with coloured slips – I will then dip in a clear glaze to make the finished works shiny. And I must say the children’s creations look fantastic!

There is anther school holiday next Wednesday 20th January – details are available on the School Holiday Workshops Page 🙂

Childrens Pottery Classes: finished artworks

Childrens Pottery Classes in Ballarat: finished artworks

Wow, where has the time one? there are only two more weeks of term and I haven’t posted any images of finished artwork! I promise to be more vigilant in future…

In the children’s class this term there have been lots of fantasy creatures, which is great. I love it when clay is used as a sculptural medium (as opposed to functional wares, such as bowl & cups – which is also great) and kids imaginations are so fluid!

There will be some children’s school holiday workshops scheduled during January, so be sure to stay tuned by becoming a ClayMotioner and subscribing to the blog 🙂

You can also follow ClayMotion on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram

And without further ado here are the promised creature pics 🙂
