Mums and Bubs Session with the Gordon Playgroup.

By Comments:

This morning I travelled out to Millbrook, only a ten minute drive from the ClayMotion studio, to workshop a mums and bubs session with Mums from the Gordon Playgroup at the Millbrook Community Hall.

The community hall was once a primary school established in 1877, I guess during the prosperous gold rush era. The grounds also boasted a time capsule, marked by a stone and plaque, due to be opened in 2035 (I think, off memory). I wish I had taken a photo!

Mums made a plate which they decorated with coloured slip and decorative stamps…. plus baby handprints or footprints – a great and treasured lasting memento! There was even a grandmother participating who created a plate with her grandchildren’s prints.

Everyone had a great time with the group deciding they would have future sessions where we would make different clay mementos.

Mums and bubs sessions can be conducted from my studio or where your mothers group meets on any day of the week that doesn’t clash with my studio classes – simply contact me to discuss your needs 🙂

And finally, here are some photos from the session 🙂

Time is flying despite the cold Winter we have had in Ballarat – and even colder here at the studio in Dunnstown! The fire, however, has been keeping the studio cozy warm.

Winter ClayMotion Birthday Parties in Ballarat – Cozy & Warm!

By Comments:

As local Ballarat people will know we have had a freezzing week here, including snow, and on the outskirts of Ballarat it has been even colder – but, never fear, the ClayMotion studio is cozy and warm as it was for last Sunday’s birthday party.

ClayMotion Ballarat Cozy & Warm

Alex turned 8 and his party theme was Paw Patrol, a popular cartoon for children – so he had a Paw Patrol cake, cups, serviette, plates – you name it! Some of the parents hung around for the party fun and they indulged in bickies and dip, chockies, coffee and tea. Very warming for a chilly day!

ClayMotion Ballarat Parties

The children had a great time, as they always do, and showed fabulous creativity with making their treasure boxes and decorating them – one of the decorations being a huge black spider!!!

Hope that spider didn’t shock you too much!! Here’s some cake to calm you down!

School Holiday Program and Term Three

By Comments:

Term two is over for children’s classes and there is one more week left for adults classes – that sure went fast!
It was a great term with students being so patient with the delays of the kilns being connected after the studio renovations – which you can read about HERE. Thankyou students 🙂

The CLASSES page has been updated for term three, and the SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAM page is updated for this coming holidays, and you can enrol easily via the SHOP.

This school holidays classes are all about Fathers Day which is on September 4th this year. Make dad, grandpa or an uncle a mug and key chain or a pencil holder and coin dish…. both classes are different, so the kids can join in both.

Meanwhile, here are a few photo collages from during term two children’s classes to tempt you!
