This method, a throwback to yesteryear when clay was not readily available in a store, can provide sometimes unpredictable but unique results.<\/p>\n<p>Cassy brings a centuries-old practice to modern-day by continuous trial and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInconsistencies with unprocessed foraged materials provide a desired technical challenge and scope for new and unplanned results.\u00a0 Drawing on natural occurrences, I happily allow clays to crack, disform, meld, crumble and melt,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope to provide the visitor with an opportunity to gain insight into my engagement with the natural environment, my processes and my outcomes. I very much look forward to visitors stopping by to chat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Craft Lab + Design Expo will be a fabulous environment for people from all backgrounds to come together to experience contemporary craft and design by local creators within the framework of the Ballarat Heritage Festival.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the Craft Lab and Design Expo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ballarat Mining Exchange, 12-16 Lydiard Street North<\/p>\n<p>Cost &#8211; FREE<\/p>\n<p>15 and 16 May, 10am &#8211; 5pm<\/p>\n<p>22 and 23 May, 10am &#8211; 5pm<\/p>\n<p>Bookings essential at <a href=\"http:\/\/creativeballarat.com.au\/art-of-making\"><strong>creativeballarat.com.au\/art-of-making<\/strong><\/a>.
