Visitors are invited to explore the studio and gallery space of ceramic artist Anne Masters, where her distinctive hand cast bird sculptures will be on display. Anne will demonstrate the slip cast process she uses to create her birds, and a loaded kiln will be on hand for visitors to gain an insight into the firing process.
Adjacent to the studio is an intimate gallery space, a former 1960s laundry lovingly transformed by Anne and her husband Adam into a small but striking exhibition space of six square metres. The gallery will be filled with a selection of small and affordable works, perfect for gifting or keeping.
