Throw back to just a few weeks ago when we all got together to celebrate 25 years of Pottery Expo!

The smiles say it all.

Rob Barron of demonstrating in our Clay Hub how to throw large.

Robert Barron commenced potting full-time in the family pottery at Croydon, Victoria, in 1976.

In 1984, he established Gooseneck Pottery at Kardella, Victoria and with the assistance of a Crafts Board grant built a 1000 cubic ft five-chambered woodfired kiln.

Influenced by the philosophies of Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew, and with a passion for the pots made by traditional crafts people throughout the world, he continues to develop ideas and techniques by exploring the intricacies of woodfiring.

A wonderful workshop in Warrandyte with Cathy Franzi, opening up a world of ceramic surface decoration and design techniques. A great way to learn from the best after the Pottery Expo.

What a weekend!

Despite the windy, soggy start, every exhibitor put so much care into creating stunning displays of their work — and it truly showed. The craftsmanship and creativity were nothing short of stellar

If you couldn’t make it down, you can still support our amazing artists by visiting their socials, websites, or galleries.
