Whimsical Ceramic Teapot workshop

Come and spend the most beautiful day with me making your very own whimsical ceramic Teapot from Porcelain and coloured clays. All the while sipping on the Blue Mountains selected Teas and local sweet treats. Honestly, what more could you want!!

To construct your teapot you will be taught hand-building basics… How to make a pinch pot, how to coil with clay, attach handles, legs etc. and how to make sure your pieces won’t blow up in the kiln! I promise you’ll leave having created a unique teapot with a story as you are guided step by step.

> About me:

Sharron is a ceramic artist and educator of over 30 years. She has a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) and a Diploma of Education, Visual Arts. Her Ceramics studio is at Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains NSW. Sharron finds her inspiration comes from the markings and observations in the natural landscape along with her commercial wares stocked in a range of creative retail outlets. She continues to work on her fine art pieces which are more abstract and sculptural in approach.
She is grateful to have my work featured in a range of retail outlets including the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, Blackheath Creative, and the Hawkesbury Remakery which support artists and artisans across Australia.
