In Clay showcases the works of teachers, artists and designers who have a connection to the Ceramic Design Studio at Sutherland TAFE College, Sydney Institute. Ceramic classes, initially taught by just one part-time teacher, commenced at Gymea TAFE campus in 1966. Today it is one of the largest Sydney based training centres for ceramic practitioners.
