Andrea fell in love with clay when she enrolled in adult education class while on maternity leave. She went on to study Ceramics at School of Art and Design (now North Metropolitan TAFE) and was one of the last generation of students graduating with Advanced Diploma in Art and Design - Ceramics. Andrea loves teaching and working with students. She was a ceramic technician and lecturer for over 5 years at NM Tafe (twice nominated by students for the lecturers award) and tutor at various art centres including Fremantle Art Centre. Andrea is also an exhibiting artist, showing her work from the UK to South Korea. She has exhibited 5 times at Cottesloe Sculpture by the Sea, and a couple of times at Bondi, as well as the Venice Biennale in 2022. You can see more of Andrea's work here. |

Emma grew up literally eating clay, learning pretty much all she knows from hanging around her mum’s studio and skipping school to hang out in the Tafe ceramics department. She grew up being ferried from exhibition openings to artist talks to critique session, and once she could carry things she was roped into helping at exhibition installs. She studied visual arts at CIT (now North Metropolitan TAFE), and is a qualified education assistant. Emma's ceramic practise started with her tableware range ERVCeramics in 2016, shifting her focus to sculpture in 2018. Her main focus (apart from ClayMake and petting dogs) is creating architectural inspired, somewhat surreal cityscapes using reclaimed and waste materials. You can see more of Emma's work here. |
