Welcome

Castlemaine Clay Studio

Castlemaine Clay Studio

Slow like clay

Grounding our days

Centering always

And making our way

The conceptual seed of Castlemaine Clay was planted when a huge top hat kiln was gifted to Mark Anstey of Lot 19 Art.

A group of ceramic artists, would-be ceramicists and ‘lovers of mud’ decided that we needed something in Central Victoria where people could get their work fired and have a common space for ceramics.

We are a non-for-profit member based community organisation run by generous and passionate volunteers. We want to bring the clay lovers of Castlemaine and surrounds together. Castlemaine Clay is a "from the ground up" work in progress and may evolve over time, depending on what our community wants.

♡ Mission Statement ♡

Castlemaine Clay is a not-for-profit cooperative set up to provide space and resources that will foster a sense of community around ceramics.

Castlemaine Clay is an inclusive group, providing a meeting point for people to share ideas and skills amongst themselves. We aim to develop and sustain ceramic traditions as well as encourage new innovations.

To fulfil these objectives, we will be providing a studio for members, kilns for firing works, classes to learn new skills, talks and workshops with ceramic artists, plus much more. Castlemaine Clay is a group for anyone interested in ceramics, from absolute beginners to professional makers.
