Tea and Tour with Kylie Johnson and Friends

11 - 26 AUGUST 2023

Museum of Brisbane

Join Museum of Brisbane's very special Clay community and settle in for Tea and Tour led by 'paper boat press' founder, Kylie Johnson.

With three decades of passionate collecting and creating to her name, Churchill Fellowship scholar Kylie Johnson has dedicated her life to championing the art of the handmade. An indispensable member of Brisbane’s clay community, her studio has not only introduced the artform to countless patrons, but has also helped support the careers of the city’s most prolific potters.

MoB invites you to take a special tour of 'Clay: Collected Ceramics' where Kylie and her guests will lift the lid on the potter’s process, before settling in at a beautifully laid shared table stacked with edible treats.

Set against the backdrop of MoB's sunlit Dome Gallery, this special Tea and Tour experience is a warm and inviting way to dig deep into the cult of clay.

You are invited to bring your own ceramic cup for tea to help spark conversation about your shared love and memory of clay. Alternatively, use one of the cups provided by MoB.

Schedule of special guests:
Friday 11 August: Bonnie Hislop
Saturday 12 August: Jane du Rand
Friday 25 August: Dai Li
Saturday 26 August: Jennifer Orland
