You will be taught the foundation skills needed to make vessels on the wheel.  This workshop is fun, informative, and experiential.  You'll get the chance to experience the feel of clay and what it's like to work on the wheel.

Georgina Yen Qin Lee is an emerging ceramicist based in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia. Her practice explores the intersections between form and function, creating pieces that can standalone as objects to be appreciated aesthetically, but also fulfill a functional purpose.

In her works, Georgina leans into the unpredictable moments of the ceramic making process by applying a considered yet incidental approach to shaping the clay on a potter’s wheel and intuitive methods of mark-making and glazing to create truly one-off pieces.

Georgina is an Australian-born Chinese Malaysian with ancestry from China's Fujian province. She seeks to honour the long lineage of ceramic culture and tradition of her heritage, passing on their stories whilst exploring the new.
