The Pottery Shed

Getting settled in and unpacking the last firing which included this gem. A terra-cotta green man from 1981 now glazed in a translucent glossy green. We’re pleased with these glaze results. -cotta #1981

This pretty much sums up an amazing day of cooperative help from inside and outside of our community putting the new studio together.
Thank you, Nicole, Amanda, Cris (also for this photo), Beam, Stella, Josh, Jack, Ceylon, and the beautiful people working as crane operators and on the de-construction team taking apart the old studio at 7 Nickson St.
Another full day to organize ahead here in-house and then we’ll be back in business.

A calm moment during our hectic move to the new studio. Classes are on 3 July.

Kurinuki style carved clay is one of our group workshops available. The process of stretching the carved surface is amazing to watch.

Real skills for a life-time craft. Focus and patience, everyone can make pottery in a class at The Shed.

Wrapping up 8 years at 7 Nickson St relocating The Pottery Shed to 656-658 Crown St near Cleveland St at the end of the month.

A carved white opaque handled cup recently done. Will make someone very proud…

Thank you Natalie Lauerman for bringing your special style to the Shed. We hope to have you back soon.

Thanks Jack for your help with these 28 cm tall jars. Clay recycled from artist donated material means the world really is good. Have faith and trust yourself, love yourself and give it time.

Well done! Malcolm William Welford’s altered thrown vase. Walker white mid-fire earthenware clay. Glazed in Cesco Aventurine.

Fitted lids… nothing bu****it about these.

Wonderful concentration in this beautiful space.
