Budjari Mudjingaal – Elders Ceramic Maker Kits 
Budjari Mudjingaal means ‘Good Friends’ in Dharawal language.

The Elders’ Ceramic Maker Kits have been developed for the community by local ceramic artist Natalie Valiente and The Elders’ Ceramic Group in celebration of their 2021 exhibition of vessels and bouquets which responded to the short life expectancy of Aboriginal people and the increasing cost of sorry business.

Vessel and bouquets hold deep significance in celebration, ceremony and place. Reflecting on a broad theme of creative empowerment in remembrance, this pack invites you to reflect upon your own experiences; through the places and the people that have shaped you.

Through a series of simple, step-by-step instructions, you will learn the basic principles of ceramics and floristry as you create and decorate a white school clay vessel and dried native flower bouquet inspired by your experiences.
