Local ceramic artists will be opening their studios across the Byron, Ballina and Tweed Shires over the weekend, as part of the Northern Rivers Mud Trail.

‘You will be delighted and surprised by the diversity of work for sale, as well as the studios themselves, many of which are in some of the most scenic locations in the region,’ said a spokesperson for the Mud Trail.

‘Meet the artists, discuss their work and processes and find out what inspires these creatives to do what they do’.

‘All artists will have work for sale, with no two styles alike, so you will find something to satisfy both your soul and your budget. Journey into the world of the handmade, and be sure to note the events schedule if you are keen to organise your visit around demonstrations or artist talks on either Saturday or Sunday’.

Some studios that were originally advertised have on the map will not be participating owing to COVID-19 restrictions. Check the website: northcoastmudtrail.com.au for updates.
