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.

Playing with fire
We
have five talented presenters who will provide instructions on
alternative firing surfaces, firing processes and different types of
kilns. We will be doing three hands on firing sessions: raku, aluminum
foil saggar, and pit firing. You’ll learn skills to create your own
approach to surfaces and how they relate to different alternative
firings. Presenters will show you how to play with fire and have you
ready to experiment in your studio.
Whether
you throw or handbuild, this conference has something for you to take
back to your studio. This conference is open to artists at all levels:
from enthusiastic amateur, to the teacher, and for the professional. No
matter your skill level, if you’re open to learning and connecting with
other ceramic artists then this is the conference for YOU!
