Such a great time at The Drop in Days!
Everyone had such a great time at School Holiday The Drop in Days!
And the plan is to have more!
Held over the Easter break the two drop in days had lots of happy smiley faces visit. Pinch pots were the project which were decorated with carved designs and stamps. The pots will remain here at the studio to dry, will then be fired and ready for collection. Once they are taken home the pots can be coloured using paints, pastels, textas, pencils, glitter – anything!!
These drop in days will become a regular feature on the ClayMotion holiday calendar, and may even take place occasionally during school terms, so stay tuned!
And remember that the term two program begins next week, so be sure to check out the CLASSES and WORKSHOPS pages for all the information. Hover over the categories at the top of the page to find the class you need.
Here’s some pics of all the drop in fun!
Happy New Year – January School Holiday Program
Happy New Year ClayMotioners!
ClayMotion is back on board after a short break, and until classes begin again the shop hours have changed:
And as always the January School Holiday Program will be running again this year on Wednesday the 17th and 24th with different projects on each day so children can enrol in both for some holiday creative fun.
Wednesday 17th is monster mugs using the coiling technique with applied decoration to create monster features, and the 24th is pinch pot fish with applied decoration to create fish features.

More information on both programs and enrolment information is available in the School Holiday Program page and you can enrol HERE, or drop into the shop.
Also in January the gallery space features an end of year student exhibition so pop in and have a look at what can be accomplished during term classes.
The exhibition will finish at the end of January and will be followed by a new exhibition showcasing new abstract paintings by Dawn Lorraine Lim, a central highlands artist living in Moonambel. Join us for wine and cheese at the opening on Saturday 3rd February.
I am also busy getting in new stock and pottery and art supplies, plus the window is looking fantastic with lots of handcrafted gifts created by local makers, so keep this in mind the next time you need a birthday gift.
And all the dates and times are up for term one pottery and mosaic classes – enrol online, drop into the shop or give me a call.
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

School Holiday Program – Pottery in Ballarat.
Last Wednesdays school holiday workshop went off with a bang with lots of colourful Christmas decorations being made. The decorations were painted with coloured slips (slip is liquid clay) and when fired the colours will be bright and shiny.
This Wednesdays workshop is also Christmas themed and we will be making bowls decorated with Christmassy designs. These bowls will be fired to stoneware temperature so can be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher, so will make a great addition to the Christmas table. To enrol go to the SHOP and click on the School Holiday category.
And for the adults classes begin the following week beginning October 4th. To enrol visit the SHOP and click on the Ceramic Classes category – easy!
Happy Sunday 🙂
