Why visit?
Open Studio events are invaluable, providing me an opportunity to connect to the local community and to you! It means so much to me when people travel to see what I have been up to in my creative space.
What will be available?
With each Open Studio Event, I make limited and exclusive small collections available when you visit my studio. I am currently working on new cups and new, unique and extra special ceramic boxes/jars.
Demonstrations + Artist Talk
This year will be a little different for Craft + Design Open Studios where I will offer deeper insight into the way I work. Don’t miss two demonstrations and an artist talk about the techniques that I have refined and personalised over the years of my ceramic practise. There will also be a Q+A!
Saturday 9 November 11.30am - 12.30pm | Handbuilding Demonstration
See first hand how I start my large scale coil built works, including designing, planning, hand-rolling and using an extruder to make coils.
Saturday 9 November 1.00-1.45pm | Surface Decorating Demonstration
Watch how I create intricate and detailed patterns on my works using coloured underglazes and a slip trailer. There will also be the opportunity for you to try your hand at slip trailing - it is much harder than it looks!
Sunday 10 November 1.30 - 2.00pm | Artist Talk and Q+A
Hear from me as I speak about the inspiration behind my works, how my style have developed over he years and a preview of what I am envisioning for a solo exhibition planned in 2025. Also a great opportunity to ask any burning questions you might have!
