Our current Teachers

Janine Schenkel

A professional potter with 20 years' experience.
She is a regular exhibitor at the Kerrie Lowe Gallery in Newtown and a featured artist on the Arcadian Artist's Trail.

"I teach wheel work and hand-building". My personal work is based in function, it is wheel-thrown functional pieces.

"The thing that draws people to clay is that it is a tactile medium with so much potential to explore, such as working with flat sheets of clay and throwing."

Jojo Fuller

Jo-anne Fuller shares a studio in Artarmon where she makes both sculptural and functional ware, and exhibits in Sydney and on the Central Coast, where she and her partner Colin Husband share a cottage backing onto Brisbane Water National Park.

She works as a freelance writer and is a former technical editor and regular contributor to Australian Ceramics and Pottery. She has also worked with public art specialists, Environmental Art+Design, contributing to a number of tile murals and in-situ works, including splash tiles for the fountain in Mashman Park at Chatswood, which commemorates the contribution to the area of one of Sydney's first potteries.

I studied ceramics at the National Art School and I am currently a full time Artist/Mother working in realist style oil painting and ceramics.

I am predominantly a wheel thrower but also love to sculpt forms inspired by nature and personal experiences in themes of love and life.

As well as teaching at Macquarie Hills Potters I also teach at St George Potters Group in Arncliffe.
