Clay Throwing
with Sandy Lockwood
4 - 9 January 2011 Mittagong
Sturt Workshops
As part of the Summer school program this course will cover the design and making of teapots in detail. Teapots can be challenging but they offer an opportunity to explore and resolve issues of design and function. They also have to work on an aesthetic level and provide a wonderful vehicle for creative expression. The skills learnt from making ''teapots that work'' can be applied to all forms of functional ceramic making.
Slow Clay
7 February - 7 April 2011 Melbourne
Jane Sawyer
