the big clay day out...

A Big shout out to my friend Darren Williams Photography for these! 

some moving stills from the day…

We had an amazing crew, kitchen, studio and firers they were all just brilliant and made for a great environment. I still cannot believe the response we had for the event, so big shout out to all who came and made it such an enjoyable day. It was a pre 9am til well past midnight thing for some of us.

There was a lot of permissions to get for the day and the council were very helpful in making sure all of those safety needs were met. One big huge shout out to Kevin who without none of this would have happened. He is one committed and brilliant Safety Officer and all round mentor to loads of students. 

A Big Thank you to all!

Kevin and I were at the club on holiday monday digging the pit, well he was digging and I made some shocking tea...so after totally wearing out our safety officer he tells me the posi needs new and younger blood....nup just kidding I'm sure I can talk him into another year of service :)

The volunteers meeting is next monday night where we will be divvying up tasks and catering ideas...it's all so very exciting!! after seeking the relevant council and firery approvals and filled in all the paperwork I can hardly wait! We have loads of excited peeps looking forward to a day of raku and pit firing into the night. 



Just $5 gets you in to participate and we have sample pots for the locals to have a try. Complete with a capable kitchen crew there will be soups, a bbq, coffee and cake and spuds on later in the day. 

Arrival at the gate is 10am and quite possibly you will be greeted by some scouts eager to see the action. Demonstrations throughout the day and pit loading at 10am. Stay in touch during the event on facebook and instagram #thebigclaydayout...
