Details
**NOTE: THE BORDER CLAY TRAIL EVENT IS HELD AT 13 VARIOUS STUDIO LOCATIONS ACROSS THE TWEED DISTRICT. See program map for all locations**
Border Clay Trail opens studio doors to the Tweed
Residents and visitors of the Tweed region are invited to explore the talents of 25 local ceramic artists on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November as part of the annual open studio weekend presented by Clay Without Borders Inc. ‘The Border Clay Trail’ returns for its second year, bigger and better, and this year will run in conjunction with the Open Studio event held by The Australian Ceramics Association.
The ‘Border Clay Trail’ event encourages art-lovers to have a behind-the-scenes look into 13 homes and studios of artists along the scenic Far North Coast, with the trail extending from Pottsville to Kingscliff and beyond to Murwillumbah and surrounding areas.
Ceramic artworks on show, and available for purchase, include hand-built and wheel thrown functional table décor and dinnerware, contemporary structural forms, whimsical sculptures, distinctive jewellery, and traditional ceramic works using a range of decorative techniques and firing forms.
The ‘Border Clay Trail’ is an opportunity to celebrate connection, community, and ceramics. You will be presented with unique, one-of-a-kind creations that showcase the beauty of the Tweed region, created by passionate artists eager to share with you the wide range of possibilities clay has to offer. You will see why working with clay really has no borders.
