This is STILL one of the most popular things we get asked at Arts OutWest. Who teaches ceramics? Who supplies materials? Who has kilns? What groups are there? Here’s an updated local list.
We ran a post on this topic nearly two years ago and it continues to be in the top 10 posts on our website every month.
We again put the call out on Facebook and Instagram and put in the things we already knew and made a list of people who teach, places to learn and kilns in action.
Got something to add. We’ll keep updating this list. Email artsoutwest@csu.edu.au
