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 email 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 🙂

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 I 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 SHOP or call me on 0438382522 🙂

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

Tuesday Tutorial – handles

Today’s Tuesday Tutorial focuses on handles for mugs, jugs, casseroles- anything that needs a handle!

The video comes from the Ceramic Arts Daily website, and the presenter focuses on a different take on a more decorative handle, but the technique of attaching and paying attention to balance and form are the same for any handle being attached to any vessel, whether wheelthrown or handbuilt.

Enjoy, and remember to drop back in next week for the next Tuesday Tutorial 🙂
