Online Art Classes at ClayMotion – Term Two is Underway and Enrolments are Still Open

By Comments:

Online Art Classes at ClayMotion – Term Two is Underway

Hello ClayMotioners, I hope you and your families are staying well.

This certainly is a challenging time for everyone, and ClayMotion has been working hard to deliver our art classes online for both adults and children, and at three weeks into term everything is going great. I felt it important to get the classes online, not only in an attempt to keep ClayMotion viable during this economically challenging time, but also because I believe art to be the perfect conduit for channelling our uncertain thoughts and emotions by providing  a means of self expression, self satisfaction, and boosting confidence… it is certainly what has kept me on the rails over the years!

After a few teething problems, which were expected (and thankyou for your understanding), I have now settled on the delivery platform for the classes as Microsoft teams. It is simple to use and saves a recording of the class to a ‘chat’ for the group where you can view it afterwards if you want to review anything or refresh your memory.

And because we are recording the classes it means you can join at any time… any missed classes can be caught up on, or if you work or are unavailable at the scheduled class time, you can complete the entire course at your own pace. If you choose this option you will still have access to all the other enrolment benefits – all materials supplied, assistance available via text, email or Facebook, access to the private Facebook group where additional tips and bonus projects will be made available, plus you can connect with others in the class, and access to Microsoft Teams.

Classes on offer this term are for adults POTTERY WHEELTHROWING  POTTERY HANDBUILDING  MOSAICS DRAWING and for children POTTERY

Follow the links above for more information or go to the ENROLMENTS page to browse the different classes.

We look forward to seeing you in cyberspace for the next instalment of this new adventure!

Online Term Two Classes Now Open for Enrolment – Adults & Kids

By Comments:

Online Term Two Classes Now Open for Enrolment – Adults & Kids

Well, it has taken a bit of time and now the online term two classes are on the website and open for enrolment.

All classes will be live streamed at the times specified in the course description, but don’t worry, if you can’t make that time all classes will be recorded and available for later viewing by enrolled students.

I have structured the pottery classes with projects that are suitable for both new and returning students, and there is also the flexibility to enrol in only some of the classes. This is not the case with mosaics and drawing as within the class we are all working on the one project.

I am still working on the children’s art classes and they should be available in the next week. I am also developing a new “Pottery for Gardeners” course so stay tuned for that!

Upon enrolling you will receive the link to the online classes…. your fees include all materials (for pottery students that is your first bag of 10kg clay and a basic set of pottery modelling tools), personalised tuition and feedback, access to feedback outside class time via email and FB messaging and membership to private ClayMotion Facebook groups.

Adults Pottery Classes have been broken up into wheelthrowing classes and handbuilding classes – all the info can be found HERE

Children’s Pottery course outlines and enrolment details can be found HERE

During the Mosaic class we are making a gorgeous hanging mosaic sphere – check out all the info HERE

And the popular Adults Beginners Drawing Course info can be found HERE

Online Classes – the school holiday program and term two will be online

By Comments:

Online Classes – ClayMotion Classes are ceasing this Week – the school holiday program and term two will be online

I am so sorry to be closing our classes for the remainder of term one and most likely term two…. but I do have lots of ideas in the pipeline to help us all stay connected and happy … click on the image below to check out the video for more info and scroll down to read more info.

So here is what’s happening in dot points

  • ClayMotion will be open 11-3pm Tuesday to Friday for buying clay and art materials and care packages. Once online classes begin works created can  be dropped off for kiln firing. Hygiene protocols and social distancing will also be observed during these short visits.
  • Pottery, mosaics and drawing students will be affected by this last week cancellation and will be contacted individually with info about an online tutorial for this final class.
  • The school holiday program will go ahead online as much as I can – by that I  mean the time I have to make online tutorials…. I will doing my best to get all the info out so people can enrol.
  • Term two will be online classes …. I will try to get as many videos up as possible for pottery, mosaics, drawing, acrylic pouring, etc – enrolments will be taken online or over the phone as has always been the case. I will put out another newsletter when all this is in place.
  • Arty Crafty Care Packages – these packages will be available online & in store. If purchased online they will be picked up from my door and delivered to your door with touch-free delivery. These care packages are great for the school holidays, for those self isolating, if you are preparing for self isolating or know someone who is,  and make great gifts. They are not on the website as yet and I am working hard to get everything in place – another newsletter will be sent to update you on their availability.

Arty Crafty Care Packages ClayMotion Ballarat Victoria

Finally – the situation is very dynamic and the above could change at any moment, such as the shop front remaining open – but even if this happens I will be working from home to create online classes and prepare care packages as I believe doing arty crafty activities helps us refocus our mind and this helps alleviate stress and anxiety which allows us to relax, and this is very important in our current worrying situation where the news and our thoughts seem saturated with just one thing – both for me and for you too.

Stay positive and healthy everyone and stay tuned for future updates.

Term One Classes & Workshops at ClayMotion

By Comments:

Term One Classes & Workshops at ClayMotion, Ballarat

Start the new decade off with a creative boost!

Art is a great developer for both adults and kids – it teaches us to think creatively (outside the box), refines motor skills, aids in spacial awareness skills, overlaps with maths and geometry and develops deeper communication and social skills – what’s not to love! Art is also a great therapy for both emotional and physical stresses in our lives.

We have a great range of classes and workshops on offer for term one at ClayMotion, for both adults & kids, which starts this week!

There are a few spots left in the pottery courses and the Thursday morning mosaics class – all of which start this week.

Mid term enrolments are welcome for the pottery course as we are all working on an ongoing range of projects…. but in the mosaics course we are all working on the same project so it is recommended that you enrol the full 4 weeks.

Other courses on offer this term for adults include Drawing for Beginners, Acrylic Pouring for Beginners, Eco Dyeing, Kokedamas and Macrame.

As well as the Children’s Pottery Classes we are excited to be offering a Children’s Art Course during term one where the Children will learn a new art making process each week. The course runs for six weeks and will be lots of fun plus creative learning.

Click on the hyperlinks in the above to check out all the details of the courses and to enrol or call me on 0438382522.

Alternatively visit the ENROLMENTS page and browse what is on offer for term one.

Here’s to a creative start to the new decade!
