Connect through clay at ceramics workshop with Yuggera, Biri, and Warangu artist Jody Rallah.

An event that's fun for the whole family, learn to create your own unique ceramic vessels.

You will learn techniques such as:

  • pinch potting
  • sgraffito
  • embedding

This workshop is on the final day of the exhibition Heat, which features the works of contemporary artists who utilise air, sun and fire to create.

These sources of heat are essential for working with clay. Final workshop creations will be fired by Jody and returned to the gallery for participants to collect post-workshop.

"Clay is an Earth made material my Ancestors have used in various ways for thousands of years in cultural practice. Connecting with clay bodies is a way to connect with Country and yourself." - Jody Rallah
