Intro to coloured clay

In this hands-on one day workshop, participants will learn how to colour clay using ceramic stains, blend hues, and apply simple colour theory to create their own unique palettes.

You’ll explore bold and subtle pattern-making through nerikomi techniques and use coloured porcelain to hand-build a refined cylinder vase.

About Larissa Warren

The workshop is led by ceramic artist Larissa Warren, who has worked with coloured clay for 13 years and is nationally recognised for her exhibitions, publications and presentations. In 2024, HOTA: Home of the Arts acquired a major body of her work comprising 23 vessels; she was a featured artist in Nerikomi by Thomas Hoadley (2023) and winner of the Siliceous Award for Ceramic Excellence (2018).

What to bring and what is included?

The workshop includes morning and afternoon tea along with clay and coloured stains. We will have all other equipment needed.

Participants need to bring 1 x worn, soft cotton (eg an old pillowcase) and 2 x 40cm x 40cm squares of cotton. Lunch and firing are not included (we have a fridge and microwave in the studio and there are take away restaurants at the nearby Benowa Gardens shopping centre).

Larissa will gift each participant a clay cutter.

Please arrive at 9:45am ready for a 10am start.

Refund policy

Gold Coast Potters Association Cancellation and Refund Policy Classes, Workshops and Events INTRODUCTION In accordance with Australian consumer law, the Association is not required to provide a refund if you change your mind. However, we recognise that unforeseen circumstances arise which requires people to reassess their priorities and commitments. This policy specifically applies to classes, workshops and events in which members of our community have registered and paid to participate. The circumstances under which a refund is granted, and the applicable cancellation fee, is based on the following considerations: • Classes, workshops and events require a minimum number of attendees to ensure the financial viability of running that event. • The closer we get to the scheduled date of the event or commencement of class term, the more difficult it is to substitute the places left vacant as a result of attendees cancelling their booking. • Withdrawal from classes, after the commencement of term, may result in loss of income for the Association’s teachers. • Cancellation of classes, workshops and events creates additional work for our teachers and volunteers. • The Association is accountable for cancellation fees that workshop facilitators may impose. NOTIFICATION and CANCELLATION FEES Notification of cancellations must be in writing, via email, even where that notification is first given face-to- face or by phone. The date of cancellation is taken from the day the email is received. The primary contact email for cancellations is info@goldcoastpotters.com along with the respective teacher and/or markets (markets@goldocoastpotters.com ) or events coordinator (events@goldcoastpotters.com ) depending on the type of event cancellation. Where cancellations occur, the following refund and fees apply: • Greater than 30 calendar days notification - 100 % refund. • Between 15 and 30 calendar days notification - 50% refund. • 14 or less calendar days notification – No refund. For example, if a $200 workshop is cancelled 15 days prior to the event, a $100 refund is granted. Refunds are typically processed with 14 working days of written notification. FORCE MAJEURE Where unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters, health pandemics or other uncontrollable events occur, the Association has the discretion to review the above terms. SUBSTITUTING and BACKFILLING A person cancelling their classes, workshop or event may choose to arrange a substitute person. A full refund is provided 14 days following receipt of the substitute’s payment. Reviewed November, 2024 – v1.0 When cancellations occur, teachers and volunteers of the Association undertake their best efforts to back fill and re-sell the vacancy (classes, workshops or events). Where tickets are able to be re-sold, a full refund is provided within 14 days. DISCRETIONARY CIRCUMSTANCES The Association’s Cancellation and Refund Policy is the standard for managing cancellations however exceptional circumstances will be considered. For example, medical emergencies, death of immediate family member. In extreme circumstances, the Association will consider refunds, rescheduling and/or holding funds to be applied to an alternative event in future. Individual teachers also have discretionary approval to make alternative arrangements so long as the loss, resulting from the cancellation, does not impact the financial agreements made with the Association. GCPA CANCELLATIONS In unavoidable circumstances where it is the Gold Coast Potters Association that cancels a class, workshop or event, then refunds will be granted. The cause of such cancellations may relate to extreme weather, pandemics, or injury and illness. In the case of classes, the refund would be on a pro-rata basis. That is, if classes have commenced, the refund is for the remainder of the term or specific number of classes that have been cancelled. Reviewed November, 2024 – v1.0
