OPEN STUDIOS OF THE WEEK - VIPOO SRIVILASA, STEPHEN BENWELL, GARY HEALEY, CHRISTOPHER HEADLEY

Open Up

Oh we could not be more excited about the Australian Ceramics Association Open Studio weekend. There is nothing we like more than to peek into the workspaces of our favourite makers.

The wonderful work of Vipoo

As expected Victorian makers are spread far and wide. We'll be concentrating on the South side with a visit to Vipoo Srivilasa, who hasn't opened his studio for ten years so there is sure to be treasure there!

master craftsperson Stephen Benwell
Also the amazing Stephen Benwell who currently has a major exhibition on at Heide Museum of Modern Art.  What a treat to see behind the curtain. We'll be interested to see his sketches and notes (do you think he'll let us peek?)

glaze master Gary Healey
Then Christopher Headley whose installations have always intrigued us. Then a duck into the eastern suburbs to see Gary Healey in Balwyn before heading home. This is just day one for us. We'll tell you more about day two on Friday.

the always witty Christopher Headley
There seem to be pockets of activity northside and in regional centres too so make sure you plan your trip wisely and go and support our wonderful ceramic artists. It's a big deal to open your studio door, and it takes more than just a quick clean up the day before. Can't wait to see you all out and about on the weekend! RAMONA

If you go here you'll see a full nationwide list of who you can visit.
