Pottery workshop for carers

A two-session pottery workshop designed for people in caring roles, paid and unpaid.

Treat yourself or a carer you know to a gentle time of recharging, connecting and creating with clay for fun.

Join Saskia for a two-day pop-up workshop for people who are in caring roles including:

• Grandparents
• Parents or family members
• Disability and aged care support workers
• Volunteers.

What to expect:

• Friday 6 February, 1-3pm
  Create your own cup to symbolise 'filling your cup first' before giving to others.
• Saturday 7 February, 1-3pm
  Return to complete your creation and decorate with underglaze.

Your pottery will be fired and brought back to Gallery 1855 at a later date to collect.

This workshop is delivered by Being with Saskia, in partnership with the City of Tea Tree Gully to provide high quality arts programming for the community.
