I was delighted to see so many examples of pottery/ceramics being chosen as the medium they wanted to use.
Some was slip cast but one student had been inspired by Gwen Hanson-Piggott who was the first Australian potter to show her work overseas as an Art Installation... (Tate St Ives 2004). More about her HERE

It would be great if these young people keep up their skills in clay.
It has been nice not to worry about my clay drying too quickly with the onset of some autumn rain...

Autumn rains? Colour me jealous.
I am very, very pleased your work is progressing and hope that the youngsters have found a medium to stay with.
Hi EC, welcome back to blogger land.. guess the rain has been coastal though BOM says its heading south this time so maybe you will get more later in the week. Fingers crossed for more progress as pieces get fired :)
oh those tree fern fronds
Hi Linda
Glad you like them... that one needs to be cut back as it is across the path to my washing line... they are survivors given the hot summer we had!
Yes to next generation of potters! Our community studio has many white-hairs, but we also have begun to have more younger folks as well. I hope your things survive the firings, as always!
Hi Barbara I certainly hope the younger generation keep up the pottery traditions Thank you for your best wishes for my firings :)
