Adults pottery classes began this week for term three, and despite the cold Ballarat weather all the classes were busy and full of creative enthusiasm! Over the break I caught up on most of the firing, and after this first week the shelves are full again!!

Childrens classes start next week. There is definitely a Saturday morning class and the Wednesday afternoon class will depend on numbers. Visit the CLASSES page for more info or the SHOP to enrol.

Tuesday Tutorial: Using Kitchen Gadgets and Textured Slabs to Create Square(ish) Nesting Bowls

By Comments:

This weeks Tuesday Tutorial comes from the Ceramic Arts Daily website and is a great project using everyday kitchen objects as tools, and incorporating textures. It is also a great introduction to cutting darts in clay in order to make different and diverse shapes.

I am a great advocator of using kitchen gadgets and found objects when hand building, and use skewers, toothpicks, chopsticks, spatulas, forks and any interesting plate/bowl shapes that can be used as moulds.

This tutorial is easy to understand and has a photo essay of the steps so is easy to follow…. enjoy 🙂
