Join me at the Fleurieu Arthouse for this special workshop exploring clay as a landscape medium.
This two hour workshop will introduce you to some basic steps to responsible foraging and processing of raw materials that can be used as part of a ceramic practice. This process echoes my workForest Ochre on Open Form that won the 2024 Fleurieu Biennale Art Prize.
We will work on a series of smaller pinched pots that will hold memories of places. I’ll bring a selection of foraged clay and oxides, and I’ll also send some instructions closer to the workshop for those of you who would like to bring your own foraged clay or oxide.
This workshop will be perfect if you’re new to pottery but love landscapes and anything earthy toned. And if you’re a potter who is new to foraging for raw materials this will serve as a great starting point on this beautiful journey.
