Step into the world of clay with Gary Hambleton during Margaret River Region Open Studios 2025. This intimate, hands-on workshop is designed to introduce beginners and clay enthusiasts to the foundational techniques of handbuilding pottery. Whether you’ve never worked with clay before or you're curious to deepen your skills, this experience is the perfect starting point.
