CCPS Open Day 2017

Our Open Day held on Saturday 19 August was part of the Australian Ceramics Open Studios (ACOS) event hosted by The Australian Ceramics Association, where hundreds of ceramic artists across Australia open their studios to the public over a weekend that is a celebration of clay, creativity and community. That is exactly what we had, a celebration of clay, creativity and community. 
The CC Handweavers, Spinners & Textile Arts Guild, The Makers Studio and the Family History Group all joined with us as the Gosford Community Precinct holding one huge Open Day.  There was so much to see; the studios, demonstrations, wonderful work, great food, good company. It was lovely to see old faces, new faces and listen to the enthusiasm of guests that would like to come back for more. One comment I would like to share, ‘the whole precinct came over as modern, progressive, and welcoming’. What more could we ask.  Thank you to all those who participated.  It was a brilliant day. 
Unfortunately, we couldn’t hold the pit firing last Wednesday as it was way too windy. Hoping it all bodes well for this Wednesday.
