I've started on my next project but more on that later...
This week I had the pleasure of the company of young potter from the Isle of Man, Katy Mitchell who is visiting Australia for a couple of months.

Katy trained in Queensland a few years ago and won an Award for Wheel Throwing in the Port Hacking Potters Competition in 2012.
On Friday we went to Wollongong (thanks to my husband for being chauffer) to visit the Wollongong Art Gallery and see an exhibition by Stephen Bird. His work could be confronting to some people - it certainly makes a statement and yet brings in many cultural themes from his travels and British background. Much of this particular exhibition is influenced by his travels to India.
The exhibition runs until 25 October 2015 so get along and have a look for yourself: Stephen Bird Exhibition - Wollongong NSW
Then that night we went to the Kerrie Lowe Gallery to meet up with Tanya Bechara of Hop'n Frog Pottery to see her first exhibition with them as a part of 'Bloom" their spring show.

the whole show is amazing with some of my favourite potters on display.
It is so nice to be getting some warmer days and signs of spring.

how great to have pottery visitors and so many exhibits, glad to see the sun, I must check out the work more closely there are some beauties you have shown.
Hi Linda
It is lovely to have such talented friends and yes, do check out their work.
The days are getting longer and I plan on making the most of it before the heat sets in :)
This is lovely work and I will also "visit" their sites!
You seem to be out and about a lot, good on you!
Hi Therese
I'm sure you will like the work shown and a visit to their sites is worthwhile.
Talk to you soon.
