ARTROOMS – Kalamunda Open Studios is an event which is held in Spring and  Autumn in the City of Kalamunda.  Professional artists open their studios to the public for conversation, information and art sales. Kalamunda has a very large and diverse population of artists who enjoy the lifestyle and find inspiration for their work in this creative community.

Maps will be available from Kalamunda Open Studios Website or collected from the Zig Zag Cultural Centre, Shire Offices and many local businesses.

Kalamunda Open Studios 2021 will be held on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October.

DANICA WICHTERMANN is a ceramic artist and teacher who specialises in wheel thrown porcelain vessels and homewares. Danica’s works are known for capturing the essence of the unique natural biodiversity in Western Australia, often using impressions from nature to create textures and patterns as part of her designs. The finished, glazed and fired pieces are works of art created to be functional, durable and safe for use.

Her home studio has a workshop out the back and a display gallery space at the front. Join her for a cup of tea, some clay time, discover the journey of the work and see the finished pieces. Available for purchase on the day.

INDIA EASTON is an aspiring ceramic artist, working alongside and assisting Danica in her studio. Using both porcelain and stoneware clay, India creates wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces, including mugs, pots, vases and plates. Through the use of sgraffito carving and other mark-making techniques, her delicate and considered work has a whimsical style. Her illustrative pieces reflect and are largely inspired by her studies in the field of Anthropology and Sociology.

This event is supported by the Shire of Kalamunda.
