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 chat about the making process, or discover some of the techniques of imprinting while you have some clay time for your self. There will be a small play table set up for exploration on the day. (items will not be fired).
Danica’s small gallery shop space will also be filled with lots of beautiful items- available for purchase on the day. Cash or card. Studio discounts and specials available on the day.

PAIGE BENTLEY is an assistant in Danica’s studio as well as an Honours student studying fine arts. Their practice, which typically involves sculptural installations and digital media, bleeds into their exploration of ceramics in playful and innovative ways. Paige is interested in bold, sculptural works which highlight the unique forms that emerge from hand building techniques, as well as the ways in which illustration can intersect with ceramic arts to produce new material outcomes.
