THE DANDENONG RANGES POTTERY & SCULPTURE OPEN STUDIOS

Weekend of 23rd and 24th October 2010

Ranges

10 pottery and sculpture studios in and around the hills to the east of Melbourne will throw open their doors during the Annual Open Studio weekend on 23rd and 24th October 2010.

You will have the opportunity to meet ceramic artists in their working environment, often actually "doing their thing". The artists will be happy to talk about their work and demonstrate their various techniques and methods. You will be able to purchase the work on display and come away with a connection to the artist, studio and the treasure you have discovered.

All studios will be open 10am - 5pm Saturday 23 & Sunday 24 October 2010.

Woodfire Tasmania

April 28– May 1, 2011

woodfire

CLAYWORKS is proud to be a Major Sponsor of WOODFIRE TASMANIA 2011.

It is an event for potters, sculptors, students, educators, collectors, curators, and anyone else with an interest in the ceramic arts. Delegates will meet distinguished makers from Australia and overseas, and experience their work and working methods at close quarters.

While convened under the banner 'woodfire', it is intended that the dialogue during WOODFIRE TASMANIA 2011 will extend beyond aspects of making specific to the use of wood as a fuel. The program will grow from the interests and offerings of makers from around Australia and overseas and be a revelation and celebration of the visions, prophesies and imaginings of a variety of clay and fire practitioners. There will be exhibitions, demonstrations, guest speakers, forums, individual presentations, films, and pre and post program offerings.

The idyllic town of Deloraine, situated on the Meander River in northern Tasmania will be the setting for WOODFIRE TASMANIA 2011. Deloraine boasts four pubs and several restaurants and cafes, all of which are within easy walking distance of gallery spaces and conference venues. Camping facilities are located centrally on the river bank, while B&B, backpacker, cabin, and hotel and motel accommodation is available within the town.
