The term will be six classes on the FRIDAY dates:

If you need to miss a class because of another commitment or illness you can make up the class during any other class in any other term on a Friday or a Saturday.

I will expect everyone to come with their own tools, clay and basic underglazes / glazes. I will e mail you with a list of the tools and materials I think you should have as well as the best places to get them from.

For each term I will set a theme with some specific learning areas and will do demos and specific teaching for some of the classes. Everyone is welcome to either follow my theme or do your own project with help and input from me. I will send out e mails with detailed information about the terms theme and learning areas prior to the term commencing.

Friday 5 April - Friday 12th April 2024

Jane du Rand will lead a 7-day intensive ceramic and mosaic experience in 2024 to fully immerse you in the world of ceramic and mosaic art. You will learn from Australia’s leading ceramic and mosaic artist to design, create and install a collection of significant art planters from start to finish. This is the first masterclass that Jane has run in two years due to exhibition commitments, and also the first to culminate in an exhibition of completed works, so it is not to be missed.

You need not be a master to attend this course, but you will have a strong appetite to live and breathe your art intensively for a full week in order to achieve a rapid progression to take your skills to the next level. This masterclass is suitable for professional artists, as well as developing artists with minimal ceramics and/or mosaic experience. You will leave this course with the knowledge and skills to bring your creative ideas to life for your home, friends or family, and the confidence to plan, design and develop a collection of works for art exhibitions.

This masterclass is held in Plant Empire’s beautiful creative workshop space in the same complex as Jane’s studio. Spaces are limited and bookings essential. For information on an Early bird registration (valid until 31 December 2023) and to book online, click the button below to visit Plant Empire’s website.

A short online course facilitated through The Ceramic School.
