I am still making pots and things - and taking part in events but it's a while since I posted here...
These pieces sold recently and I loved making them..

I have just joined the Como Marina Craft Nook in a suburb by the river not far from me.
They already have a couple of potters so I will only be selling my jewellery there.
Should be fun.
Here is a link to their Facebook group: Marina Craft Nook _Como
It is well named as the space is quite small. There is a nice cafe next door and boat hire if you like fishing, so call by and check it out soon...
All sorts of nick nacks for the family |
lots of crafts from knitted wear to aprons and more |
I am still around but mostly on Instagram these days.. @potterybyanna if you are there too.
I am currently getting ready for a market stall. I will be sharing the space with two pottery friends.

One of my entries in the "60 Years in Clay" exhibition sold. It is wheel thrown using high fire porcelain, decorated with underglaze and scraffito design. The design depicts the Australian native vine, Eustrephus latifolius or Wombat Berry.
I will be taking part in the Port Hacking Potters Group's 60th Anniversary exhibition at our local Gallery and Arts Centre.. mark your calendar and come along..
29 April to 10 May 2022
I started the year off taking part in the fund raiser for the islands of Tonga who have been hit by an Tsunami and an earthquake.. the clay community came together and raised $A17,589 for the small Pacific nation. My brooch sold but the ring is still available.
Then happily someone decided they needed more of my pigs so I had a good reason to get into my studio again..
Some reasonable results but disappointed in a couple of vases.. the glaze I used is a fickle one and this time it was not wanting to play.
Yesterday was time to clean bottoms and pig trotters.
Well, we survived another year of the pandemic.. here is hoping for a better year for the world in 2022.
I hope you and your families have got through with as little drama as possible and your good health intact.
We are having a rather wet summer which makes for a nice change after recent years of drought and bushfire. I am giving my studio a bit of a clean and sorting out my clay. Combining scraps and recycling and labelling the buckets so I have a better idea of what is there. Washing out the plastic clay bags ready for reuse. Almost done. Waiting for some scraps to dry out but it is a wet week so I can't quite complete the task yet. Once I'm done I'll then have to break that barrier of not wanting to spoil the clean and tidy look.
Here are some memories from 2021and my best wishes for you and your families in 2022.
The Australian Brooch Show had an interrupted showing but managed to proceed and happily my turtle and fish both sold.
A very successful Pop Up Shop with the Port Hacking Potters Group, held at the Cronulla School of Arts saw these all off to new homes. |
Looking to buy local?
Join me at the Cronulla School of Arts and see a range of styles and prices to suit all tastes.
I will have a range of bowls, vases, plates, jewellery and Christmas decorations for you to choose from.
It is based on an Australian native plant which has edible fruit... will have to come back to you on which one...
Next time I will use a darker green underglaze for the border..
