About this event

  • Free venue parking

Artist Kristin Burgham leads an innovative ceramics workshop where participants design and make ceramic objects using their sense of touch. At each workshop, participants build their own unique clay vessel, using specially made interlocking plaster moulds. The vessel will be kiln-fired after the workshop. This will create a porcelain object for each participant to keep. Inspired by her teaching experience and exploring design opportunities for people who are blind or have low vision.

If you are blind or have low vision, please email hello@kristinburgham.com before purchasing your ticket.

Design by Touch Ceramics is proudly supported by the City of Port Phillip Cultural Development Fund and is presented by Craft Victoria. Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria: designweek.melbourne
