Jenny Dawson and Artist Pip Gordon met at J Shed Freo to discuss Pip helping with selling all our pottery gear. Pip has been mentored by Jenny and worked as a studio assistant when needed since doing a residency in our studio starting in 1998.

Jenny Dawson - J Shed Art Studio is closing J Shed’s Little Red Galley. Pip came to collect her work that was being sold for her in our small gallery. Nine local artists work will no longer be sold here due to the City of Fremantle moving us on.

Pip has flourished with her career in ceramic art and is a professional potter selling and exhibiting her work in many galleries in WA.

James a student of pottery has purchased my precious Venco - Pottery Wheel to learn how to throw pots. It was the very first piece of machinery I took into J Shed Freo in 1993 after graduating art school and starting my ceramic art career at Unit 3 - J Shed. Sadly it is now the first piece of my equipment to now leave upon my termination (by City of Fremantle).

It was with heavy hearts that Peter Zuvela and I handed it over to a pottery lover who we hope will treasure it as much as we did.

Hello World! 👋 Peter and I are getting ready to move on from 33 years of art at J Shed Freo - Unit 3, Fremantle.

As it stands we will be closing the Fremantle art business (no relocation), however Peter intends to do his photography business into the future.

It is all now becoming part of J Shed Fremantle’s history and we hope the younger generations will assess what we have done is of worth. I hope they do.

We will archiving, selling, gifting so stay tuned. So for the record J Shed Art Studio - Unit 3 will cease to be on the 2/7/2027.
