Sample dates for this demo.
First time / River celadon
Never touched clay? Most people haven't.
Every workshop starts at the big bench, getting the feel of the clay, then moves to the wheel with one of us beside you. Six people at most, so nobody is left alone with a lump that won't centre.
You'll make two or three pieces. We trim them, you pick a glaze from our five, and they go through two firings.
They're ready about four weeks later. Collect them from the studio, or we'll post them anywhere in Australia for A$18.
Five glazes, all mixed in the shed.
Every piece we make, and every piece you make in a workshop, goes into one of these five.
Saltbush ash
Made with ash from saltbush prunings sent each winter from a farm near Hay. A soft grey-green that pools darker in the well of a bowl.

A pale blue-green that thins over carved lines and gathers in the hollows, like the Bellinger after rain.

A rust brown, heavy with red iron oxide and speckled darker where the iron gathers.

What people say
“We came for a weekend in Bellingen and the workshop was the bit we talked about on the drive home. My wonky bowl is my favourite thing in the kitchen.”
