WORKSHOPS & CLASSES

Rowley’s long career is visible in the confidence of his ceramic work, instilled by decades of hands-on making, glazing, and firing. This, combined with over twenty years of teaching visual arts at a tertiary level, make his workshops informative, engaging and enriching experiences.

​

Some ceramic experience is preferred for those attending Rowley's workshops. If you are a practicing ceramic artist, ceramics student, ceramics educator or you have some ceramics experience, his workshops are suitable for you. 

​

All workshops and classes are held at Quixotica’s studios, 151 Musa Vale Road, Cooroy.

​

Rowley's workshops and classes for early 2022 are now SOLD OUT. See the links below to join a wait list for the workshop of your choice. We'll then let you know when spaces are open for bookings.

​

In the meantime, if you are new to ceramics, check out workshops at The Butter Factory in Cooroy to join a beginners' class with our friend Michael Ciavarella and/or practice making with clay in the studio there.
