Such a great time at The Drop in Days!

By Comments:1 Comment

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

By Comments:

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.

Christmas Shopping Night at ClayMotion, Ballarat.

ClayMotion has been operating from the shop in Ballarat now for a little over a month, and everything is going well – the kiln is connected and operational, new stock is arriving in the way of art and ceramic supplies, the casual studio space is finished and ready for use, and the gallery space looks great.

Another ClayMotion mission is to support local artists and crafters by taking their creations on consignment and displaying them in the shop window.  We have some fantastic handcrafted gifts, and more are coming for our Christmas Shopping Night on December 8th from 5-8pm.

Pottery in Ballarat – Classes are Underway & Super Busy!

By Comments:

We are half way through the term – where did that go?

It has been very hectic moving into the new studio, and waiting for powercorp to connect the new kiln 🙁 so there has been a bit of to-ing and fro-ing to kiln fire works in my home studio – but no breakages, so all is good!!

Mid term enrolments are welcome, and the dates for term 1, 2018 will be up on the website within the next two weeks, so stay tuned.

And remember the ClayMotion shop in Mair Street has some gorgeous handcrafted gifts created by local makers, so keep that in mind for Christmas! And there are art supplies too, for the art lovers in your life.

In the meantime check out these busy pictures from classes so far this term…. happy claying!
