On 6th of October, I attended a workshop facilitated by Clairy Laurence, a Brisbane ceramicist. I was joined by a couple of good friends, one much more practised in pottery and ceramic art than myself.
The workshop was run out of Clairy's breezy studio in Paddington Brisbane and was limited to eight attendees. This specific day was dedicated to creating a ceramic skull. We spent the first half of the workshop building the foundation for the skull before pausing for morning tea and coffee. I really loved the mugs, they were so cute!
I decided to try my hand at creating a ceramic frog, which was a challenge. Many of the attendees adorned their ceramic skulls with ceramic flowers and insects. As I was finishing my little frog it was around lunchtime and we strolled down the street to a nearby café for lunch.
After returning from lunch Clairy provided a demonstration on how to best glaze the skulls. We spent the afternoon completing this. I went for a minimal look to let the natural clay show through and I am looking forward to seeing how the finished piece looks.
Clairy runs a variety of events in Brisbane and you can book through her website clairylaurence.com.
