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!

Christmas Shopping Night at ClayMotion, Ballarat.

By Comments:

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!

Children’s classes are now underway at the ClayMotion Studio for term three.

This makes for a relaxed and happy learning environment which is perfect for kids to reach their top potential.

And. yes, mid term enrolments or casual attendance is most welcome – just email or phone me on 0438382522 to discuss your requirements.
