Australian Ceramics Open Studios at Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Space

Did you know that Lane Cove has a very active arts community?  Not many suburbs have their own art gallery!!  

On Saturday & Sunday, 11-12 November 2023 will be taking part in the Australian Ceramics Open Studios.

Australian Ceramics Open Studios (ACOS) is an annual, nationwide, weekend event that celebrates clay, community and creativity. The weekend event is now in its 11th year; over 200 potters and ceramic artists in cities and regional areas around Australia will open their studios to the public.

This truly is a must-see event for anyone who’s curious about seeing how professional ceramicists set up their studios!

Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Space is proud to be a part of this year’s Australian Ceramics Open Studios! This open weekend is a fantastic opportunity to introduce not only their ceramic teachers and students to the community but also their state-of-the-art ceramics facilities.

What’s Happening at Gallery Lane Cove on the Ceramics Open Studios Weekend?

Over the weekend, they will be hosting two FREE book-in-only workshops/demonstrations.

Gallery Lane Cove + Creative Space will be hosting a ceramics sale of the fantastic works created by their teachers and students – a great opportunity to find a gift for the upcoming holiday season!
