About the teacher
Tony graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of Arts (Sculpture), Canberra School of Arts in 1995. Since that time Tony has had numerous exhibitions and commissions many in the realm of public and community art. His involvement with the Canberra Potters dates back to 2014 when he taught a special needs group of students from Belconnen Community Services.

About the teacher
Alex’s interest in medieval history is reflected in the forms and decorative techniques that he employs in his work. He uses sgraffito to decorate forms based on Byzantine pottery, although he uses stoneware clays for their strength, a result of working in Canada for a year. The other main technique that he uses is salt-firing where a glaze is formed by adding salt to a kiln at high (stoneware) temperatures. His liking for fantasy creatures is also reflected in the dragons and gargoyles that frequently form decorative or design elements of his work.
