Dandenong Ranges Open Studios- Pottery

Nestled in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges lies the studio of the Treefern Potters. A group formed in 2005, of passionate potters and sculptors, from the amateur, the part-time, and the full time ceramic artist, come together at the Ferntree Gully Community Arts Centre for their 5th Annual Exhibition and Open Studio. Held in conjunction with the Dandenong Ranges Pottery & Sculpture Open Studios weekend, visitors will have the opportunity to meet ceramic artists both in their working environment and exhibition space.

The potters will be happy to share their love of clay and demonstrate the various techniques and methods used to create the many different forms of ceramic art. The Treefern Potters’ work ranges from tiny native animals to large tribal sculptures; from delicate porcelain vessels to chunky stoneware urns; from simple sushi plates to elaborate tea pots and from intricate jewellery pieces to recycled ceramic wall art and all are available for sale. The weekend will also feature the foothills newest indoor art & craft market.

The Treefern Craft Market offers the highest quality, locally hand made art and craft with a variety of items such as soy candles and soaps, patchwork, handmade bags and cards, jewellery, knitted items and much more including face painting. Visitors can enjoy Devonshire Teas and a sausage sizzle while enjoying views of the Dandenong Ranges.
