The DCResidence

We have found ourselves in the very lucky situation to have the pleasure to spend four weeks at DCR, Driving Creek Railway. Typically DCR hosts assist residencies for potters and Pottery enthusiasts. However, they wish to expand the scope of artistic disciplines that make use of their facilities, and that wish had enabled us to be able to spend the next month focusing on a number of music projects.

DCR was established by Potter Barry Brickell, a singular individual with an extremely driven passion for pots and mud. He undertook and facilitated the building of many buildings, work stations, and kilns. He was also an avid train enthusiast and hand built a trainline through re-established native forest. The primary function of the line was to gather clay uphill and return it to the studio to be created into pots, cups, and sculptures.

Over the next four weeks, we will be posting photos, footage, and other bits of interest. We will be making both individually and together.
