Winter School, Sturt Uni - Mittagong NSW

Another month has gone by, I can't believe its almost August. Last week I attended the Printing on Clay Winter School with Sturt Uni at Mittagong. It was fantastic! At final count we learnt about 14 different techniques to print onto clay.

Petra Svoboda our tutor was fantastic and our small group were all as enthusiastic as each other, participants came from Tassie, Newcastle, Thailand and Sydney and of course me ... Queensland.

Other than picking up many exciting techniques to broaden my skillbase I also feel I made some great friends who I'll stay in touch with and share my progression as I put my new learnings into action.
The weather was certainlly freezing, getting down to 1 - 3 degrees at night however the studios were warm and my beautiful Cousins house was a great haven to lay my weary head after a day of learning. I feel very fortunate to have had family to stay with while I was experiencing something quite special in my journey of ceramics.
