The modalities at The Pumphouse were selected through extensive community consultations and discussions with the Pumphouse Think Tank, a multidisciplinary panel of industry experts and professional artists, facilitated by Albury City Council. Through this collaborative process, Ceramics, Small Works and Jewellery, and Fibre Arts emerged as the primary focus areas for the artwork created on-site. We are open to expanding our offerings and adding more equipment based on community interest and demand.
