Felicity Ceramics

Hi my name is Felicity, it means happiness

I am an Australian Contemporary Ceramic Artist, I’ve worked in clay and painterly glazes to tell my stories for 36 years. My process is driven by the joy and freedom of a naïve approach. Inspired by the idyllic life I have created in order to heal; my works narrate the fun and beauty of my animals and nature I share the land with. Themes and inspiration come to me through stories I’ve connected with like, Alice in Wonderland, the Secret Garden and Narnia. I create with the user in mind, my work is to be enjoyed, used, lived with and to become part of the owner’s stories. A favourite mug that becomes a daily ritual drink, a mirror or candlestick that brings joy and light from the dark.

Pottery Wheel and Hand Building Classes

I am a practicing ceramic artist with a bachelors degree in Ceramics and am a passionate and experienced teacher. All classes cater for people wishing to learn pottery wheel throwing and all hand building techniques. You are welcome to focus on just one or try any and all of them. Pottery is a three step process, working in the mud stage, finishing the leather hard work and then glazing.

I offer a fully equipped, professional pottery studio with seven pottery wheels, a slab roller for sculpture and drape moulds, two kilns and a large variety of glazes and decorative techniques.

I teach people at any stage from beginner to experienced, my lessons focus on your individual and skills and creativity. Lessons commence in your own time ( as places become available) and begin with a series of 3 -5.

There is no need to book consecutively or on the same day but do keep in mind your work in progress can be kept damp to work on for 2-3 weeks. From time to time I am able to offer group workshops and one off classes to build a mug or butter dish in a single class where I prepare some of the behind the scenes work before and after.

My studio is in a restful 40 acre forest surrounded by wildlife and animals. There may be pets present at lessons from time to time but the bigger dogs rest in the orchard during this time.

Hand building and shaping the clay is a wonderfully relaxing and grounding activity, my studio is a fully equipped pottery studio surrounded by creativity set in a peaceful bush location.

A fun activity on Valentines day with friends or a sweetheart or just because pottery is AMAZING!

In this 2 -2.5 hour class you will learn to hand build a mug and attach a handle then decorate it with coloured underglazes or add stamps and texture ready for magical glazes of your choice to be applied.

After you have completed building, shaping and smoothing your mug we have a break while the mug has a flash dry ready for you to unleash your creativity or be guided in a prepared design to paint colourful underglazes onto your piece or carve stamp and embellish ready for glazing.

After your class and when your mug is dry it is fired in the kiln, covered in glaze and fired again so it's fully functional for you to love using every day. This process can take 2-3 weeks then it will be ready to collect.
