A Successful Workshop making wombats

Twelve lucky PHP members gathered at the Hazelhurst Arts Centre pottery studio to take part in a slab building sculpture workshop with Tammy from the Pipers Creek Pottery.

Tammy led us all step by step through the process using a red raku clay and a series of slabs and additions.

We look forward to seeing the fired results.

The big event has arrived - Australian Ceramics Open Studios 2025

 this weekend will be a big one for our members as we take part in the Australian Ceramics Open Studios 2025.

This is a national event and potters and ceramic artists all over Australia will be taking part.

We will be open for you to visit us both days, Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November, from 10am to 4pm both days.

Our address is 5 Gibbs Street Miranda 2228 near the entrance to the rail commuter carpark and a short stroll from the station.

Not only will our members have their creations on display and available for you to purchase, we will also be conducting demonstrations of wheel throwing, coiling a vessel and making flowers in clay.  

For those contemplating joining us you can do so on the day, inspect our kilns which members can hire (after training) and generally chat about our love of creating with clay.

Hope you can visit and bring your friends...
