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!
