About the Studio
Brixton Street Pottery is the ceramic studio of artist and teacher Gordon Hickmott. We offer eight week pottery class courses, over four terms a year in our relaxed studio space in Flemington, Melbourne.
Classes cater to all levels of experience and includes hand building, wheel throwing, sculpting and glazing. We believe in learning by doing and encourage students to explore, experiment and refine their skills.
​Gordon prides himself on creating a relaxed teaching environment that creates a sense of community and an energised space for exploring the materials. He brings with him 25 years of experience as both a ceramic artist and educator.

Gordon has been making pottery since 1975 studying Ceramics under Harry Memmott at Prahran College where he graduated in 1980 and set up a small kiln in Elsternwick.
At the time Gordon also worked at RMIT, within the department of Architecture and with the Arts Train (CAE) which toured rural communities in north-western Victoria, providing opportunities for people to engage in crafts and arts.
