Clay Chat @ Watercress Creek Olives and Limes

Ceramic Arts Qld invites you to join us for a morning of connection and technical insight. Held at a local mountain café, this event offers a delicious catered morning tea and the chance to discuss all things clay with fellow creatives.

Our special guest speaker, David Walker from Walker Ceramics, will lead a Q&A session focused on the specific characteristics of different clay types and how they behave. To support this discussion, David will bring a range of clay samples for attendees to play with. The session will include live demonstrations featuring both a pottery wheel and a hand-building table, allowing participants to see these materials in action.

For those interested in taking a closer look later, samples of the clays and informative handbooks will be available for purchase at reduced prices, with the proceeds going to Cancer Research.

Join us for this engaging event for a chance to network with other potters.

REMEMBER! Bring one of your own handmade cups for a fun CUP SWAP.

About the Farm: Watercress Creek Olives and Limes was born of a long farming history. The Pine Mountain Property, owned by Bernard and Lorraine Mahon, began as a dairy farm settled in 1862.  John and Mary Mahon came to Australia from Ireland on the Maryborough and settled in Pine Mountain. The dairy farm produced vegetables and eggs aided by the land army in the second world war and sold produce locally and throughout Brisbane.  In 1998 as fourth generation farmers in Pine Mountain, Bernard and Lorraine Mahon began farming olives. The property now grows three different varieties of olives with over 1,000 olive trees. In 2006 Bernard and Lorraine diversified and added 800 Tahitian Lime trees. They now produce olive products, lime cordial, chutneys and jams and host an annual Watercress Creek Olive Festival.  More information at their website HERE
