CERAMIC artists and potters are preparing for the Australian Ceramics Open Studio on the weekend of 8-9 November from 10am to 4pm.
The event gives visitors a glimpse into each potters’ practice.
“Claymakers throughout the area are busy preparing their creative spaces to welcome visitors,” said Open Studio participant Jane Northway.
There will be a diverse range of processes to observe, demonstrations, activities to participate in and completed pieces available to purchase.
The local potters are Luke Ford in Coffs Harbour, Allan Casey in Woolgoolga and numerous participants in Bellingen, including Reanne Brewin, Clare Danby, Bellingen Pottery Collective, Gloria Malone and John Tuckwell, Jane Northway, and Dubrawka Sabljak.
Each artist encourages visits from the public and fellow potters, to chat and watch their process.
The participants say they enjoy the authenticity of having conversations while they work and welcome other ceramicists willing to share their knowledge.
Australian Ceramics Open Studio is an annual, nationwide event, fostering local community connections.
