Pottery Classes in Ballarat: Week Two – so many creative gems

Week two of adults pottery classes and everyone is getting right into it – creating some fabulous pots.

Mid term enrolments are welcome, simply emailΒ me or phone me on 0438382522 to organise. Everyone works at their own pace within the class, so you won’t be behind within the class, and you will only pay for the amount of weeks left in the term.

In the meantime, enjoy the pics πŸ™‚

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 IΒ 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 SHOPΒ or call me on 0438382522 πŸ™‚

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

Finished Ceramic Artworks – Term Four

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 πŸ™‚

You can also follow ClayMotion on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram

And without further ado here are the promised creature pics πŸ™‚

 

ClayMotion Christmas Break up Parties – try something new!

animated-merry-christmas-image-0259ClayMotion Christmas Party – why not try something different this year for your Christmas break up?

There is nothing better than a glass of wine with a piece of clay in your hand!

This is a great idea for office break ups, sporting clubs, mothers groups, childrens play groups and any social group in general. Packages will vary depending on whether the xmas party is catering for adults or children, but will generally include a range of beverages, finger foods and a clay activity.

Please contact me to discuss your specific needs on 0438382522 or email me on dawn@claymotion.com.au to start the discussion πŸ™‚
