Mark Making brings together nine Australian artists whose work feature diverse techniques that demonstrate their own unique maker’s marks. Each artist has a distinct, almost subconscious style that has become indicative of their work. In ceramics, the makers mark is heightened, as the form can feature the mark of the hand, as well as how it is then decorated.Featuring: Sandra Black, Bronwyn Kemp, Pippin Drysdale, Louise Boscacci, Janet DeBoos, Gerry Wedd, Mitsuo Shoji, Alison (Milyika) Carroll & Carol (Anilyuru) WilliamsMAIN GALLERY 20 July – 13 August120 Glenmore Rd

One Day Winter Workshops
With only only 5 participants per workshop this will be an intimate, hands on exploration of decorative surface techniques. The workshops will begin with an introduction to the beautiful, translucent porcelain and then we’ll plunge straight into creating. We will discuss design, pattern, surface texture and imagery in order for you to create two porcelain bowls with your own design. What we are aiming for is a reflection of your own unique personality with all it’s complexity, in your final design! But the day can’t be all about work and there will be plenty of demonstrations and a delicious, vegetarian lunch.
I’m running the workshops from 9.30 until 3 so they are convenient for those with school children.
Work will be fired and available to pick up or be sent to your home.
So, bring a friend and come along for a lovely day in the country and enjoy the creative chaos of the studio while making your very own translucent porcelain bowls. Shannon Garson Porcelain – Winter Workshops Tuesday June 21st , Tuesday June 28th and Tuesday July 5th My studio in Maleny 9.30-3.00 $130 per person Find out more here.
