Some Finished Works from Term One – Pottery in Ballarat

By Comments:

Term One was a short term due to Easter, and it went so fast!

The dates for term two are on the CLASSES page and I suggest you enrol soon, as places are filling fast. I am contemplating putting on another adults class so the sooner I know numbers the easier it will be to organise times.

There is also a SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM these holidays focusing gifts for Mothers Day, so be sure to check that out.

I have scheduled some WORKSHOPS for term two and term four, both suitable for beginners, so check that page out for more info.

I’ll leave you with some pics of finished artworks from term one, and look forward to term two 🙂

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.

Tuesday Tutorial – handles

By Comments:

Today’s Tuesday Tutorial focuses on handles for mugs, jugs, casseroles- anything that needs a handle!

The video comes from the Ceramic Arts Daily website, and the presenter focuses on a different take on a more decorative handle, but the technique of attaching and paying attention to balance and form are the same for any handle being attached to any vessel, whether wheelthrown or handbuilt.

Enjoy, and remember to drop back in next week for the next Tuesday Tutorial 🙂
