Hi friends!
It's been another fantastic week here in the best little club in the world! We've had heaps more kids join us for the School Holiday workshops, and the kilns are running hotter than ever.
Our Term 4 classes start next week, so be sure to check the schedule below to see when the Members' Open Studio sessions are before you head into the studio.
Kids' Play with Clay
Our Kids' Play with Clay sessions are starting up again next week, with the first session taking place on Wednesday 8th October 4pm - 5.30pm.
They operate in a similar way to our normal Play With Clay sessions, except they are designed for kids (of course!) and there will be tutors on hand to help guide them through their chosen projects each week.
The price is $15 per participant, and includes clay, glazes and firing of pieces made at the session.
There's no need to sign-up for a full term of classes, you can just come to one session, or as many as you would like to attend.
We have a limit of 24 participants in each session, and while we're happy to accept last-minute walk-ins on the day if we have places available, we recommend you book online to reserve a spot. Online bookings are open until 12noon on the day of the session.
Another Phoenix Firing in November
This will be last WSP Phoenix wood firing for 2025, so jump in and book your spot! Suzy Dunser is our Fire Master for this one and she has masses of firing experience - you're sure to learn a lot along the way.
These are the dates you'll need to be available for the prep and firing days:
Saturday 1st / Sunday 2nd November (date TBC): Prep day: organize wood, prep shelves and kiln
Saturday 8th November: packing kiln
Sunday 9th November: firing kiln
