Established in 1998 by Graham Hay these small 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 any 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. With seven years tertiary training in ceramics, your tutor Graham Hay has over 20 years in teaching just ceramics as well is an international level ceramic artist. He regularly teaches both beginners and experienced students: over 350 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 four ceramic biennales, as well as 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.
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.
