Well with lockdown restrictions lifted, nearly 200 potters and ceramicists around the country will open their studios to the public for the ninth annual Australian Ceramics Open Studios on November 13 and 14.
Woodbine Cottage Pottery on 64 Ada Street, led by founder Helen Eatough, will open its doors from 10am to 4pm on both days.
Canberra Potters Society teacher Ms Eatough, who has a Diploma of Ceramics and regularly enters ceramics exhibitions and competitions, encouraged the public to attend.
"The studio aims to further explore this art-form whilst inviting others of all levels to experience and participate," Ms Eatough said.
"The studio is fully contained and is a focal point for ceramics in the district allowing other potters to be able to fire their works as well as providing a space for people of like mind to gather and share in their passion.
"It has four wheels for throwing, a huge range of products for producing glazes, two kilns and a dedicated drying room."
The two-day event is a welcome opportunity for the community to step inside a creative space, chat with a local artist and experience the simple pleasures of clay and the making process.
There will be a chance to tour the studio, observe demonstrations in wheel throwing, enquire about classes as well as the chance to purchase some of the locally made pieces or even commission a new original piece.
Light refreshments will be provided.
