AUSTRALIAN CERAMICS TOOLS FOR PRACTICE, SERIES 2
From 11 October to 15 November 2022, The Australian Ceramics Association (TACA) is excited to host Australian Ceramics Tools for Practice, Series 2!
Series 1, held in February 2022, was extremely successful and we are thrilled to have six new online panel discussions on topics related to establishing or enriching a professional ceramics practice starting next month.
The series is free to attend and aims to support emerging practitioners in our community by sharing the learnt experience and knowledge of a large variety of active practitioners. The discussions will be conversational, informative, insightful, and inspiring.
We invite emerging practitioners to attend the series and be a part of the conversations, with an opportunity to gain insight into various areas of studio practice as well as having the opportunity to ask questions.
The weekly sessions will run on Tuesday evenings from 6–7.30pm AEST, starting 11 October 2022.
