Since inception in 1978, Valley Potters Inc. have shared their love and knowledge of their craft by hosting exhibitions, workshops and events within the ceramic and wider community.

Performance
Mullygrubs
March 28 @7pm, 2020
Mullygrubs is the darkly funny baby of two friends; their attempt to make something funny and meaningful from their pain.
Tired of moaning about their mental health – Harry, as a queerman trying to screw his way out of a marginalised existence, and Leah, a woman forever waving “Hi!” from under the ugly boot of the oppressive boys club of life – decided to put their words where their mouths are and start a conversation about the things that don’t get discussed often enough.
This show was everything. So funny, so heartfelt, and touches on everything that is important in life. It’s not often that you get to have massive belly laughs and also be deeply moved by the same
show. DO NOT MISS THIS!
– Yseult Manteli
When: Satruday 28 March 2020 @7pm
Where: MIRA Marysville
Cost: $20

Performance
Ensemble Goldentree – Salon Trios
April 19 @4pm, 2020
A warm, dimly lit drawing room, a piano, friends and colleagues gathered close by. A rotating roster of musicians, artists and poets. In this setting some of the most beautiful chamber music was first written, experimented with and performed.
The intimacy of each breath, each emotion wrought real in close quarters.
Step back in time and experience chamber music as it was meant to be heard through three trios, including Brahms’ monumental Horn Trio and one of Schubert’s final works, Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (‘Shepherd on the Rock’), enhanced with poetry.
Program
BRAHMS – Horn Trio, Op. 40
SCHUBERT – Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (‘Shepherd on the Rock’), D. 965
Performance: 4pm Sunday April 19, 2020
Where: MIRA Marysville, 11 Murchison Street.
Cost: $25 performance
