@ Central Craft
Alice Sings - Singing in the rain - We were very happy to lend our Central Craft chairs to the choir when the Araluen power went out after the big storm. Luckily there was no damage at Central Craft, unfortunately not everyone in our community was so lucky.

STUDIO happenings
Alice Sings recently spent the day screen printing for their concert, so much activity, we love seeing the studio so busy!
WHAT'S in the kiln - lots of things at the moment!
Did you know our kiln takes around 4 days to pack, fire, cool and unload. Our kiln is very busy at the moment, please be patient, we are firing as fast as we can. Thanks to Maria, Holly and Alison who have been taking turns packing and firing the kiln.

Have you left some work and or clay in the ceramics studio? Just a heads up we are trying to clean up and will be looking to move things out in the next couple of weeks. Please come and grab your things, there are a lot of people using the studio with limited storage space available. But don't panic we are working on a storage solution for next year. Stay tuned.
