Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 August 2013
Over this weekend potters far and wide will
open their studios and welcome visitors into the special spaces where
they create. This Australia-wide inaugural celebration of ceramic studio
artists is an event with more than 100 members of The Australian
Ceramics Association participating – a national weekend of clay,
creativity and community! Walk down the street and around the corner to
discover the hidden artisans in your area, or jump in the car and travel
further afield. From backyard studios to artist precincts, you are
invited behind the scenes to experience passionate potters throwing on
the wheel, decorating with glaze or firing their kiln. In a world filled
with the mass produced, treat yourself and choose a hand-made pot to
take home.
