19.01.2022 Thanks to all who came to our AGM and to a fascinating #ClayStation number 7. It was, as someone said, the best AGM I’ve ever been to! And welcome to our new committee members! Lots of new energy and ideas in the room, and excitement for future steps! Straight after scoffing some yummy @dulcelunar.finefoods sustenance, some of us got stuck into removing @nmwmade’s sculpture so the container can be placed on its footings, and Mark got some more building materials...... with ...the gorgeous 17week old Hazel overseeing operations! All in all a very inspiring (thanks @amykennedyceramics) and productive day! . . . . . . #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #australianceramics #clay #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #contemporaryceramics #kiln #kilnfired #bisquefire #greenware #sculptor #lot19artspace #castlemaine #castlemaineclay #tophatkiln #wheelthrown #clayplay

11.01.2022 Mark from @lot19artspace has been busy during #iso and there is now a pathway from the studio to the kiln room. While the virus has slowed down an already lengthy process, we haven’t gone away and are still making plans. Stay tuned..... we want to do it right and there’s still a lot to be worked out now that we can get together and plan, again . . . .... . . #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #australianceramics #clay #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #contemporaryceramics #kiln #kilnfired #bisquefire #greenware #sculptor #lot19artspace #castlemaine #castlemaineclay #tophatkiln #wheelthrown #clayplay @ Lot 19 See more

11.01.2022 Hi Clay Lovers. This is our foundation, and what a handful of us have been holding until we got approvals and plans and action. It’s been a long time and has taken a lot of energy and personal effort (largely by Mark of @lot19artspace) to get it to this solid foundation. We would LOVE some fresh energy on the committee, if anyone would like to help us, going forward. Please come to the AGM ON Sunday 17th at 10am and/or contact us before then if you’re interested. It would be ...amazing to have a few more people to help with the next very exciting phase of #castlemaineclay . . . . . . #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #australianceramics #clay #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #contemporaryceramics #kiln #kilnfired #bisquefire #greenware #sculptor #lot19artspace #castlemaine #tophatkiln #wheelthrown #clayplay #communityarts See more

08.01.2022 After waiting a STUPIDLY long time to get the permits for the studio building (well over two years), we have gone from a slab to a frame in 4 days, thanks to Mark and his merry band of drop-in helpers. . . .... . . #mudroom #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #australianceramics #clay #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #contemporaryceramics #kiln #kilnfired #bisquefire #greenware #sculptor #lot19artspace #castlemaine #castlemaineclay #tophatkiln #wheelthrown @ Lot 19 See more

07.01.2022 By way of introduction, here’s a #Repost from @amykennedyceramics (we couldn’t say it better than the artist herself) Back in March, on the way to the kiln hall at #shigarakiceramicculturalpark with expert assistance from staff member @yoshikorakusai My project during my 10-week residency was to develop large scale sculptural works with ceramic glass hybrid materials. I specifically wanted to carry out this project at The Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park because of the ...expertise of the staff there, having considerable experience in all facets of ceramics, including the creation, transport, loading and firing of large scale works. (Note: for MY practice these works were large, but not large compared to other work being created at SCCP!) Through my own project and observing others at work I have gained a good understanding (which I plan to build on) and will slowly integrate it into my studio practice here in Melbourne. Thanks to fellow artist-in-residence @barbara_tong for catching us in action! . . . . . #ceramics #artistresidency #japan #internationalartistresidency #shigarakiceramicculturalpark #contemporaryceramics #australianceramicsinjapan #amykennedy #castlemaineclay #claystation #clay #porcelain #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #art #kiln #kilnfired #australianceramics #slowclay #artisttalks #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #handmade #sculpture #contemporaryceramics See more

05.01.2022 And here’s a direct link to our online membership form, for those who’ve been wanting to join but haven’t got around to it yet!

05.01.2022 Hello Clay Lovers. We know you are all waiting patiently for something to happen - so are we! We are still waiting for permits from the Council for the Mud Room to be built. Until that happens, our hands are tied unfortunately. We're still here, but we can't progress anything until we have a space to play with clay! Meanwhile, you can look at our FAQs (https://www.castlemaineclay.com/faq) regarding membership and what we hope to offer, once the build completed. And rest assured, as soon as ANYTHING happens, we will let you know!

05.01.2022 Oooooh..... look what arrived today! Mudroom build is on! . . . .... . #pottery #glaze #madeobjects #australianceramics #clay #ceramicartist #studio #handbuilt #contemporaryceramics #kiln #kilnfired #bisquefire #greenware #sculptor #lot19artspace #castlemaine #castlemaineclay #tophatkiln #wheelthrown #mudroom #ceramicstudio See more
