22.01.2022 Due to an interstate request there will be a WA Paper Clay Master Class on Sunday 27 October (for those already using paper clay, or very experienced with clay). The next popular Introduction to paper clay will be next on Sunday 1 September. Links to both at https://www.grahamhay.com.au/workshops.html

22.01.2022 You dont have to be a genius to be creative. No meme, just a thoughtful article.

20.01.2022 Enjoyed his work, nice to get the back story. Makes sense.

19.01.2022 My apologies, the Sunday day paper clay revolution workshop on 27 Jan18 sold out in Nov17. While the early bird spaces for the 17 Feb18 workshop were snapped up early December, theres just a few spaces left (therell be another workshop once Im back from teaching overseas, sometime in April).

13.01.2022 Anyone know if potters clay does this too??

13.01.2022 Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Creative Year to all. I started these studio classes back in 1998, so 2019 will mark their 21st year! Celebration suggestions?

12.01.2022 Few spots left in this Sunday paper clay workshop: Hands-on, information packed fun!

12.01.2022 Heads up current students. I have just 27 images uploaded of unique students work completed fresh from the kiln door in the last month. (apologies everyone else, this is into the private Perth Pottery and Sculpture Class Gallery group for current students only-so students away any week dont miss out seeing their peers final work once it has been fired and gone home).

10.01.2022 While there will be no classes 26 Feb - 21 March 2019 as I have been invited to participate in a ceramic symposium in India next month. Also been invited to give a Raku & Paper clay Workshop with Kim Young-Soo in Kolkata/ Calcutta while there. Classes will run up to this time and then continue afterwards. This link gives you more: https://www.grahamhay.com.au/internationalworkshops.html

10.01.2022 While waiting for the video classes to start: Some light, non work reading that will keep you away from Netflix binging Free library of pottery textbooks: National Emergency Library - Internet Archive is a non-profit library of millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more. Access Free Pottery Books here https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary. Thanks to CAAWA and NZP for sending the link on the same day

09.01.2022 My apologies: Yes, class are running in 2019. Please dont write questions here or messaging me. Why not? My information packed class webpage (see link) which has been polished over the last decade to answer ALL your questions; where, times, dates, how the classes are uniquely organised, current vacancies, immediately enrol online, automatic wait list, and so on. ... Its quicker to just read the webpage, not write questions here and wait until I eventually find your question and reply. Why i am I so slow? Ive been carefully teaching these 4 studio classes a week for 19 years; and the rest of my week is jam packed creating my own art, commissions, meetings, exhibiting, public speaking, writing ceramic education journal articles and responding to overseas requests to teach and exhibit, coordinating the studio and this year postgraduate studies. In any class I am much more responsive and helpful and you have complete access to my expertise and assistance. Just remember: ceramics is both a relaxing and demanding art form, and your persistence will always be rewarded. I wish you well on your creative journey. Hope this saves you time. Cheers, Graham PS. https://www.grahamhay.com.au/classes.html

09.01.2022 After an 8 week nap" classes quietly resumed with safe studio habits. See weekly studio work fresh from the kilns on our new Instagram feed: https://www.instagram.com/perthpotterysculpture/

09.01.2022 Even Art Critics are doing it I took classes so I could have a mental break, and make something thats both useful and beautiful, she says. Its a way of slowing down, a meditative process, and about using your hands and your eyes both consciously and intuitively. You can see it as a counterpoint to the fact that were sitting in front of computers every day and craving more contact, literally, with the earth.

02.01.2022 Near to, or use the park? https://saverobertsonpark.com//Save-Robertson-Park-brochur

02.01.2022 Few calls about how the classes run: Once you have enrolled online, attended the first class and bought any of the bundles of classes, you can pause and resume your class attendance any time. You can even jump between class days and times. This is because you are learning and making what you want at your own pace. No waiting, or trying to keep up with other.

02.01.2022 You and a friend are invite to an art exhibition celebrating Robertson Park Artists Studios 20 years as an independent Artists Run Initiative. (Note the exhibition is just a few blocks away from the studio)
