Ceramics Main Studio
Join Greg Crowe for an engaging 8-week ceramics experience designed for intermediate to advanced makers ready to refine their practice.
In this open studio style course, you will deepen your wheel throwing skills, focusing on precision, consistency, and more complex forms. Through guided demonstrations and individual feedback, you will expand your understanding of centring, shaping, trimming, and surface finishing at a higher level.
Students are encouraged to develop and pursue self directed projects, with support in refining technique, exploring form, and strengthening a personal creative voice. With a balance of technical development and independent exploration, this class provides the space and guidance to push your ceramics practice further.
What to bring:
One bag of clay is included in the cost of this course. If you need additional clay, you’re welcome to purchase more—your tutor can recommend where to buy it locally.
Students must wear appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and tie up long hair for safety reasons.
Firing & Glazing
Please note that it’s not always possible to fire and glaze all pieces before the end of your course. Several factors can affect when and whether your work is fired, including drying time, thickness, size, the volume of work submitted, and when pieces are completed—especially toward the end of term when kiln space is limited. We do our best to fire as much work as we can each week, but we encourage students to plan ahead if they wish to glaze in their final class.
Once your work has been fired, it will be placed on the collection shelves and you’ll receive an email with collection times. Please make sure to identify and collect your own work.
If you’d like more time to finish your pieces, we offer stand-alone glazing classes each term—these are a great option for returning to complete your work.
Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre is a heritage-listed building with access limitations. While there are no lift facilities within the main building, the ceramics studio is wheelchair accessible.
We acknowledge these limitations and are committed to improving accessibility where possible. We continue to explore ways to make our programs more inclusive and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions.
Should you, or the person you are enrolling for, have any other additional requirements, please include these details when booking.
