What you'll do
Established in 1998 these studio based classes are unique.
After a quick tour of the open plan studio, all instruction will be customised to suit your own personal background, ability and preferences, so you can learn and make what interests you, at your own speed. To enable this customised learning, only one or two new students may join a class at the same time. Classes are deliberately small, with a weekly average of 6 students per class, so both you and the regular students receive plenty of individual instruction and assistance. You will progressively master both traditional and contemporary clay techniques with hands on practice and experimentation.
These uniquely structure classes are made possible by the quality of instruction. Tertiary trained, your tutor Graham Hay is an expert in teaching ceramics as well as an international level ceramic artist. He regularly teaches both beginners and experienced students: over 300 primary and secondary schools, TAFE, universities and clay centres across WA, interstate, and in 12 countries. he has led international ceramics conferences and symposia in Hungary, Norway and the US, and has published over 20 journal articles.
As an artist he has participated in 160 exhibitions in a dozen countries, within seven biennales, including during the 2017 Venice Biennale. A recipient of 20 awards, he has artwork In the Art Gallery of WA as well as public collections in six countries. See website for details.
You buy the first class and during it decide how many lessons you want, receiving a beginner discount. Bulk discounts are available and popular with ongoing students. If necessary you can defer starting until you are ready, plus pause and resume when it suits you. These are socially dynamic classes, with faces appearing, disappearing and then reappearing week by week, as all students can happily pause and resume, or change their class attendance to suit family, health, work and travel.
You will enjoy the classes being held within an architect designed light filled, open plan studio, within a green inner city park. Surrounded by friendly, professional working artists, you will receive support and encouragement from our experienced teacher and other students. Get ready to feel welcomed into a supportive community of similar, like-minded students and artists.
Knowledge Required
No prior knowledge is required. Also invigorating for experienced clay users as instruction is individually customised.
What you'll get
Free 10kg bag of soft clay, and use of studio tools and equipment. Three hours free parking, tea and coffee.
What to bring
Bring any drawings, pictures, digital images you might have (optional). An old shirt or comfortable clothes. Covered shoes are necessary as this is a working studio.

Since 13/23/20:
Between classes wipe down all door handles, taps handles, toilet contact surfaces and soap dispensers with an alcohol-based hand sanitiser specially ordered and made by a WA chemist chain.
Wipe down all class desks, plastic chairs, and soak all tools and sponges for at least half an hour with a custom bleach solution prescribed by the Federal Department of Health (https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2020/03/environmental-cleaning-and-disinfection-principles-for-covid-19.pdf)
Currently trialing a bleach solution instead of liquid soap in the bucket students wash clay off hands and tools and the floor mop water.
All cups and coffee/tea plungers are systematically sterilised in the dishwasher between classes and tutor regularly washes hands with soap and water during the lesson.
My thanks to two very considerate but healthy students recently returning from overseas, who had responsibility self quarantined for two and more weeks before returning to their class.
All students will be encouraged to wash hands at the beginning of each lesson, and before the coffee breaks. Instructions on how to this properly have been posted above sinks for a week.
If ongoing students ever feel unwell, or have been in close contact with someone who is, they are encourage to reschedule their class at least two weeks forward via the hot-link in the email confirming their second or subsequent lesson, or 48 hour reminder email. For the last decade ongoing students have been able do this at least two hours before the class, with their class credit is obviously preserved.
For safe handling of some glaze materials, the studio has always had a large stock of and wide range of sizes of free disposable latex and rubber gloves. Students are welcome to use these generally.
Over the last decade the average class size has been six students. It is anticipated that classes will be smaller over this current period of uncertainty, which will further reduce the r
