Well that was a whirlwind week for week one of term four – I can’t believe it is almost the end of the year!!
Anyway, here is what students got up to for the first week of making: pinch pots, coil pots and glazing!
And remember that childrens classes start this week too – tell your friends 🙂
I’m a bit slow with this weeks school holiday workshop update – that is because my NBN has been down since last Thursday!! I was doing minimal stuff thinking it would be resolved by now – but NO! So I am now chewing up my mobile hotspot coverage (yes I will be demanding compensation) to share the FAB plates & bowls made during the workshop 🙂
And, remember adults classes start this week, and there are a few vacancies available – so visit the SHOP and enrol 🙂
Last Wednesdays school holiday workshop went off with a bang with lots of colourful Christmas decorations being made. The decorations were painted with coloured slips (slip is liquid clay) and when fired the colours will be bright and shiny.
This Wednesdays workshop is also Christmas themed and we will be making bowls decorated with Christmassy designs. These bowls will be fired to stoneware temperature so can be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher, so will make a great addition to the Christmas table. To enrol go to the SHOP and click on the School Holiday category.
And for the adults classes begin the following week beginning October 4th. To enrol visit the SHOP and click on the Ceramic Classes category – easy!
Happy Sunday 🙂
There are a series of workshops coming up at the ClayMotion studio over the next month or so:

Hope to see you soon 🙂
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.

And here are some fantabulous finished works from ClayMotion students 🙂

Well term three is underway, after a snowy start to the term, with adults classes beginning last week and children’s classes stating this week.
Just a reminder that mid term enrolments are welcome – you will only be charged for the number of weeks left in the term 🙂
Here is a collage of whats happened so far this term….
And some pics of finished student works from last term….
Wednesday mornings school holiday class was a great success with seven happy children making presents for dad. We made pencil holders and coin dishes which were painted with coloured clips. They are now drying before being loaded into the kiln and a clear shiny glaze being applied.
There is another workshop this coming Wednesday 6th July in the afternoon from 2-4pm and again we will be making gifts for dad, grandpa, an uncle or a family friend, whatever dad is special in your life. We will be making a coffee mug and a key/coin dish, so jump on the website, visit the shop and enrol online or call me on 0438382522
Here’s some pics from last Wednesdays class 🙂
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.
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!
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!
But, back to the party! It was great fun with some fab creativity happening! More info on Birthday parties – for both children and ADULTS can be found on the Birthday Parties Page ….. meanwhile here are some pics from the weekend 🙂

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!
Have a great week 🙂
