Join sculptural ceramicist Stephanie Phillips, who was a 2024 Finalist in Australia's Next Top Designer, in this one-day contemporary ceramics workshop to create an architectural style sculpture or sculptural vase. Learn some expert tips including coiling methods to make your piece.
Stephanie’s ceramic work is bold, textural, architectural, and always sculptural. She playfully manipulates negative space in and around each piece, making forms that are abstract and jaunty while at the same time monumental. Texture is vital and is achieved by leaving the fired clay in its natural state or with her meticulously developed, signature sandy glaze. The forms, strong colours and surface texture interact harmoniously
