24.01.2022 UPDATE ON WORKSHOP DATE: 17 October We are offering a free workshop for GCPA members (non-members' fee $50) with much thanks to our wonderful teacher, Shirley Battrick! If you a GCPA member who plans to hire the members' kiln at Mudgeeraba you must attend a Kiln Workshop before you are able to do so.... You will learn how to load for different firings, firing schedules, use of the controller, recording procedures, caring for the kiln and more. Bookings essential.

09.01.2022 With my enforced stay in Australia due to Covid-19 now at the 12 week mark, I am adding another lustre workshop for the weekend 15-16 August. I live with the o...ngoing hope that as soon as the Japanese border opens again to the rest of the world, I will be able to be with Tatsuya again. This workshop is designed to be able to be taken with no prior knowledge of ceramics and all work is completed on commercial tiles. Numbers are limited and Covid-19 protocol will be strictly observed.#lustre, #overglaze, #skills, #decoration
