HERE’S a hot tip from “CityNews”. If you like ceramics, you should get along to the Canberra Potters’ Society 2012 Open Day at Watson Arts Centre on Sunday.

This is a great opportunity to see potters in action and to join in too, as visitors are encouraged to have a go at hand-building and wheel-throwing.

Local potters have been firing up their creativity and kilns to present an exciting range of unique, handcrafted ceramics for the Winter Pottery Fair—and that’s the hot tip—you can pick up a finely craft pot for very little outlay.

Highlights of the Open Day will include raku firing demonstrations and the popular “buy a soup bowl, get the soup for free”, where soup bowls sold come with a free serving of home-made soup to be enjoyed in the garden area.

Clayworks and Walker Ceramics will have trade stands and the society’s shop, Potters’ Place, will be stocked with ceramic artworks, jewellery, garden and homewares.

There’ll be children’s clay activities as well and for the adults, Coffee’s On will be selling coffee and tea and for local and visiting potters,

Canberra Potters’ Society’s Open Day & Winter Pottery Fair, at 1 Aspinall Street, Watson.  Open Day, Sunday, June 3, 10am to 3pm. Pottery fair open until June 11, Thursday to Sunday then Monday June 11, 10am to 4pm.
