Upcoming Pottery Workshops in Ballarat & More

Upcoming Pottery Workshops in Ballarat & More

Hello ClayMotioners

We are past the half way mark for term 4 and what a busy term it has been, and it has been fabulous seeing everyone’s faces back in the studio again!

There are still some great workshops coming up, including acrylic pouring and Olla Making, and this weekend we are excited to be offering an outdoor pottery workshop at my home in Dunnstown,  a short ten minute drive from the Ballarat studio.

During this outdoor workshop we will press leaves, flowers, bark and other organic materials into clay and then form them into dishes, plates, vases, jewellery and more.

This workshop is designed to create a relaxing, stress free environment to rejuvenate after a difficult Covid Lockdown.

The workshop will be topped off with a yummy organic, home cooked sour dough apple bread with tea and coffee.

Olla Making is also coming up. Ollas are an efficient water system for your garden, and during this three hour workshop you will learn to make one so that you will feel confident to replicate the method at home and make as many as you need for your garden.

There are two Acrylic Pouring workshops being offered. One is a basic workshop where all paints are premixed and you will create one painting. The other is an Introduction workshop where you will learn how to mix your own paints and will create tow paintings. After this workshop you will feel confident enough to experiment with your new hobby at home.

Online Classes – Pottery, Mosaics, Drawing, and more

Online Classes – Pottery, Mosaics, Drawing, and more

We are, as of yesterday, transitioning back to online classes for pottery, mosaics and drawing for both adults and children.

Pottery classes have started, however mid term enrolments are welcome. Mosaics and Beginners Drawing are starting soon.

Upon enrolment materials can be collected touch free in store, delivered contact free within the Ballarat area or delivered Australia Wide via Australia Post at additional cost.

The day before the class an invite to attend is sent via email which you click on at class time to join – its that easy!

All classes are livestreamed for real time attendance, and are recorded so that if you can’t attend on the day you can catch up on any missed classes. Recording also means that if you can’t do the course at the specified time you can enrol and complete the course in your own time. It also means you can enrol mid-course and catch up or do the entire course at your own pace, and also means all students can watch the class more than once.

Guidance is also provided via FB messenger, text, phone and email.

More details and course outlines can be seen on the product pages in the shop.

See the ENROLMENTS page to browse courses or click to go directly to POTTERY MOSAICS DRAWING

ClayMotion Term Three Classes start next week and we are back to face to face – yay!

ClayMotion Term Three Classes start next week with limited in studio face to face vacancies available and all classes also being offered online!

We are excited to be offering our ClayMotion term three classes face to face for term three, and all courses are also being offered online for anyone who feels more comfortable with this option.

We also have a COVID business plan in place which means you can feel confident that ClayMotion is doing our best to look after you and ourselves.

All classes are limited in size, with hand sanitiser available and no communal accessories being offered, so bring your own towels, aprons and drink bottles. Surfaces such as chairs, work benches, taps, light switches and modelling tools will be sanitised between all classes.

Our COVID plan also means that we ask you not come to class if you feel unwell with flu like systems. So, we are livestreaming classes so you can participate at home, along with our online students. These classes will also be recorded so that if you miss the class you can catch up at home at your own pace.

What happens if we need to go into lockdown mid term? 

We will finish the term online. Term two was delivered online with students happy with the course, so I feel confident that a smooth transition to online is achievable.

What is ClayMotion offering this term?

For adults we are offering our usual POTTERY, MOSAICS, DRAWING, ACRYLIC POURING plus a new POTTERY FOR GARDENERS course which has 3 places still available. All online enrolments are unlimited. See the course descriptions for more information about how the various class options are delivered.

For children we are offering POTTERY with Saturday and Wednesday fully booked, so a Thursday after school class has been added for new enrolments.

The term two pottery and mosaic classes were also recorded and are available for online enrolment with full support offered during the courses via text, email and phone. You can check them out HERE

I am excited to get back to face to face in the studio and can’t wait for the new term to begin – and in the meantime please do keep safe and healthy 🙂

Online Art Classes at ClayMotion – Term Two is Underway and Enrolments are Still Open

Online Art Classes at ClayMotion – Term Two is Underway

Hello ClayMotioners, I hope you and your families are staying well.

This certainly is a challenging time for everyone, and ClayMotion has been working hard to deliver our art classes online for both adults and children, and at three weeks into term everything is going great. I felt it important to get the classes online, not only in an attempt to keep ClayMotion viable during this economically challenging time, but also because I believe art to be the perfect conduit for channelling our uncertain thoughts and emotions by providing  a means of self expression, self satisfaction, and boosting confidence… it is certainly what has kept me on the rails over the years!

After a few teething problems, which were expected (and thankyou for your understanding), I have now settled on the delivery platform for the classes as Microsoft teams. It is simple to use and saves a recording of the class to a ‘chat’ for the group where you can view it afterwards if you want to review anything or refresh your memory.

And because we are recording the classes it means you can join at any time… any missed classes can be caught up on, or if you work or are unavailable at the scheduled class time, you can complete the entire course at your own pace. If you choose this option you will still have access to all the other enrolment benefits – all materials supplied, assistance available via text, email or Facebook, access to the private Facebook group where additional tips and bonus projects will be made available, plus you can connect with others in the class, and access to Microsoft Teams.

Classes on offer this term are for adults POTTERY WHEELTHROWING  POTTERY HANDBUILDING  MOSAICS DRAWING and for children POTTERY

Follow the links above for more information or go to the ENROLMENTS page to browse the different classes.

We look forward to seeing you in cyberspace for the next instalment of this new adventure!

Online Term Two Classes Now Open for Enrolment – Adults & Kids

Online Term Two Classes Now Open for Enrolment – Adults & Kids

Well, it has taken a bit of time and now the online term two classes are on the website and open for enrolment.

All classes will be live streamed at the times specified in the course description, but don’t worry, if you can’t make that time all classes will be recorded and available for later viewing by enrolled students.

I have structured the pottery classes with projects that are suitable for both new and returning students, and there is also the flexibility to enrol in only some of the classes. This is not the case with mosaics and drawing as within the class we are all working on the one project.

I am still working on the children’s art classes and they should be available in the next week. I am also developing a new “Pottery for Gardeners” course so stay tuned for that!

Upon enrolling you will receive the link to the online classes…. your fees include all materials (for pottery students that is your first bag of 10kg clay and a basic set of pottery modelling tools), personalised tuition and feedback, access to feedback outside class time via email and FB messaging and membership to private ClayMotion Facebook groups.

Adults Pottery Classes have been broken up into wheelthrowing classes and handbuilding classes – all the info can be found HERE

Children’s Pottery course outlines and enrolment details can be found HERE

During the Mosaic class we are making a gorgeous hanging mosaic sphere – check out all the info HERE
