CPS OPEN DAY
Sunday 6th June 2010
Canberra Potters’ Society opened its doors at Watson Arts Centre on Sunday 6th June for its 2010 Open Day. The annual open days are always a great opportunity to see potters in action and to join in a range of fun activities and this year was no exception..
In the main workshop there were demonstrations of hand-building and throwing on the potter’s wheel throughout the day. Visitors were encouraged to have a go themselves with many taking up the opportunity to get their hands into clay. Outside, raku firing demonstrations saw some lovely fired pieces taken home by visitors.
In the gallery we did roaring trade selling bowls for soup and many items from the Winter Fair. Outside on the verandah the bowls were filled with a variety of delicious soups, just the thing to keep out the winter chill. Many people enjoyed their lunchtime soup listening to the sounds of music provided by a local CPS potter and friends. Throughout the day Nancy Harrison of Coffee’s On provided tea, coffee and other refreshments on the verandah.
For local and visiting potters, Clayworks, Potters Needs and Walker Ceramics graced us yet again with trade stands. This is always a good chance to talk to the experts and browse their wares and I know many people took up this opportunity.
With fair weather and masses of people the day was a great success.
