SCW by Craft: Ceramics

Sydney has an exciting and vibrant ceramic community and there are ceramic events aplenty at this year's Sydney Craft Week festival. 

Why not have a dining and ceramic experience with Simply Native, or take a slab building class with Denise McDonald, or see the beautiful ceramic work of Cathy Franzi's at Sabbia Gallery? There are open studios, talks, live demonstrations, workshops and exhibitions happening all over town. Discover the many ways you can engage with ceramics by checking out this list of events, featuring ceramics in a variety of shapes and forms!
