Big and Beautiful Weekend Workshop
Saturday 2 Aug, 9.30am-4pm
Sunday 3 Aug, 9.30am-4pm
Join John Brighenti and Carys Martin for a weekend masterclass where you will learn how to ‘throw big’ and the surface decoration techniques to make your pieces beautiful.
This will be an intensive weekend of learning to start the year levelling up your skill set. You will work in a small group switching between tutoring from John and Carys in their respective specialties – large scale throwing and surface decoration. The outcome of the weekend will be two final pieces – one thrown by you on the wheel and one that John has thrown for you before the workshop, each of which you will adorn with detailed surface work under the expert eye of Carys. After the workshop Carys will biscuit fire your finished pieces, glaze with your chosen glaze and fire it a second time, ready for you to collect.
Book your workshop.

Coming June 2025, Melaleuca features a country town, a brutal murder, a shameful past, a reckoning to come...
The injustices of the past and dangers of the present envelop Aboriginal policewoman Renee Taylor, when her unwilling return to the small outback town of her childhood plunges her into the investigation of a brutal murder.
Renee is planning to stay the minimum amount of time in her remote hometown -- only as long as her mum needs her, then she is fleeing back to her real life in Brisbane. Seconded to the town's sleepy police station, Renee is pretty sure work will hold nothing more exciting than delivering…
