Sculptural Vases with Studio Mulders

Join local Walyalup (Fremantle) artist Annemieke Mulders in this fun ceramic class which takes you right through to glazing and finishing. 

Assisted by Annemieke you will build a freeform vase using the coiling technique adding handles, textures and embellishments as you please. In the second class your vase will be ready for glazing.

You'll be taken through the glazing process, and get creative with 3-4 coloured glazes to choose from.

All tools, materials and light morning tea will be provided.

There are no previous skills required, simply bring your authentic self.

Takeaway

• Two sessions in our warehouse with incredible local artist Annemieke Mulders
• A vase of your own design - built, fired, glazed and finished
  
• Coffee and cake from our cafe each session
• The skills and confidence to continue at home

Important details

Your piece will be glazed and fired at Anne's home studio using solar power. Cost included in your ticket. A huge amount of care is exercised when finishing off your precious hand-made items. Please note that clay is unpredictable and on rare occasions, items break in the kiln. This is all a natural part of the fun of perfecting your craft.

Works will be available within ~4 weeks of the class date from the Stackwood store. You will be contacted when they are ready to pick up.

For any classes after the 4th November 2023, we cannot guarantee works to be finished and returned by Christmas. They will be available in the new year (2024). See here for opening hours.

About Studio Mulders

Annemieke Mulders studied the Netherlands and worked as a scientist in various countries while continually taking art evening classes. Her ceramic career started ten years ago in Perth, and she has since opened Studio Mulders.

Annemieke makes functional ware with forms that follow the plastic distortion of the clay and vibrant glazes, recently she has begun repurposing plaster moulds to create sculptural vessels. Annemieke is driven by a need to understand the intricacies of world. Her process is one of destruction and rebuilding - textures and forms are made through dividing, smashing and chiselling, followed by a careful rearranging and reassembly. This method brings a radical freedom and breaks away from conventional design elements. Annemieke regularly exhibits nationally.
