We will once again be part of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, an annual Cancer Council fundraising event. This will be a great opportunity to socialise with other U3A members and will also raise funds to go towards research and provide support for people with cancer and their loved ones. The Cancer Council has provided us with a speaker who will enlighten us on the fundraising and research aspects of the Cancer Council.
This year we are asking members to bring a small plate to share with other members. Tea, coffee and champagne will be provided for those who would like it. Please bring some cash (yes, cash please!) to donate to this worthy cause.
Learn how to throw on the potter’s wheel. You will also be given a quick tour of the clay studio in order to gain a basic understanding of the process for making pottery. You will then learn how to prepare your clay, centre it on the wheel and the basic steps for making a cylinder and bowls. Studio pottery tools will be available for use and clay will be provided. A basic set of tools will also be available for purchase if you wish.
