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. </p><p>Here are some memories from 2021and my best wishes for you and your families in 2022.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Due to Covid restrictions in Sydney the gallery has closed and with it unclear as to when it could reopen the decision was made to cancel. The committee couldn't risk pots from other states being left in limbo. It is possible the group will stage a members only show a bit later, so another door opens.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9iA3Cn_lquhPHz92K8Le8NB8jcnc0zm04EVQ6iKEWTYFkvCVFThfFLUzaXTvPVYtNJIzv0zmBPbItDkwem5aixIriyZeMroqa6MetvZ5K9sY18iTCXoQuxLVrzqq4yaH4wucs/s2048/PHPG_2021_advert+TACA_2cancelled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1468" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9iA3Cn_lquhPHz92K8Le8NB8jcnc0zm04EVQ6iKEWTYFkvCVFThfFLUzaXTvPVYtNJIzv0zmBPbItDkwem5aixIriyZeMroqa6MetvZ5K9sY18iTCXoQuxLVrzqq4yaH4wucs/w286-h400/PHPG_2021_advert+TACA_2cancelled.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am fortunate to have my own kiln at home and have been able to continue work on a commission and some other work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was quite happy with these cups.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjclSXDuxIhJ3xx7EVSAuHyvSDbHpK2h9YPc3St8yELOndPFbEvq3Jf3935TfNTJR_YINK17Jl9DW-s9FntC_bAFp1zyFyDuq4hHDLww9Ssxel2b_uFQDk1Q31o0fMkQwdGpDZS/s2016/IMG_7554.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjclSXDuxIhJ3xx7EVSAuHyvSDbHpK2h9YPc3St8yELOndPFbEvq3Jf3935TfNTJR_YINK17Jl9DW-s9FntC_bAFp1zyFyDuq4hHDLww9Ssxel2b_uFQDk1Q31o0fMkQwdGpDZS/w480-h640/IMG_7554.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">stay well folks</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03620588456375419442noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29381710.post-70158494099086893142021-03-23T19:34:00.003+11:002021-03-24T15:04:43.680+11:00Experimental Clay<p> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">I have been having some fun back at TAFE the last few Saturdays.

If you are able to travel to the NSW south coast the weekend of the 3rd and 4 October it will be well worth a visit.
There are some very well known potters donating works.
The money raised will go to help artists and artisans who have literally been through fire, flood and pandemic this year.
Some were just starting to get their homes sorted after the fires when there was flooding rains.
Then the area was visited by people who were infected with the Corvid-19 virus and businesses in the area had to close.
Earlier I had sent down a small sculpture expecting it would be sold at this show which was to be held at Easter, however the Covid restrictions on gatherings and travel meant it had to be postponed. Fortunately my sculpture went to a gallery that also held a fund raiser and it sold straight away.
So I am now donating this little teapot with a little bling..
"Summer II"
Hopefully it will appeal to someone who goes to the exhibition and the funds will be able to help someone get back into their studio.

We almost had it beaten in NSW but with an uprise of cases in Victoria the virus has travelled to our state too. It seems all we can do is keep ourselves well and follow the recommendations on social distancing and hygiene. Mask wearing is becoming the norm. Those who don't have a craft or hobby must be finding things very difficult.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Luckily I am well stocked with clay and glazes and can keep myself busy. The one drawback is that my studio is rather cold and shaded but I rug up with a extra layer of clothes and a hat and I'm doing more handbuilding than wheel work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been able to sell some of my smaller pieces online via my Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnnasCeramics/">https://www.facebook.com/AnnasCeramics/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and my Instagram account: <a href="http://potterybyanna/">@potterybyanna</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also have another commission to work on and the possibility of being part of a community exhibition later in the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope all of my followers are keeping well. Here are some pieces that sold recently: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Staying at home due to restrictions imposed by our government to help reduce the spread of Covid 19 seems to be working. It has not been much different here as both my husband and I enjoy each other's company and have never been big on social gatherings. We are still able to do our weekly shop and our hobbies are home based and we can keep in touch with family and friends via phone or online video calls.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The general atmosphere has affected my pottery making as I just did not feel inspired to go to the studio. The studio was also cluttered with materials that were to be sold for a fund raiser that was cancelled. It took me ages to finally realize that by putting a few things outside and doing a huge tidy up I could clear my working space.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The clean up extended to my house and I found this iconic children's book - Dot and the Kangaroo is an Australian classic written about a young girl who gets lost in the bush and is saved by a kind kangaroo. In the story the kangaroo gives her berries to eat that stave off hunger but also allow her to understand what the animals are saying. Wouldn't that be cool.</span></div>

<br />
One of my friends is bringing artists together to exhibit in a fund raiser to help. They are calling it Creative Coastal Appeal and it will be in the Ulladulla Civic Centre.<br />
My work titled "2070" will be part of that exhibition in Ulladulla on the NSW south coast over the Anzac holiday weekend, 25 April.<br />
<br />
If you live close by please consider attending....bring your friends and buy some art for a good cause.<br />
<br />
EDIT: The show in Ulladulla was postponed indefinitely due to restrictions caused by the fight to limit the Corona Virus. Fortunately, prior to this my friend took "2070" to another fund raiser at <a href="https://www.ivyhill.com.au/">The Ivy Hill Gallery</a> further down the coast where it sold. So happy the bush fire affected potters I nominated will get the funds.<br />

Once the kiln was repaired I was able to refire the whole load successfully.<br />
<br />
So this one is now on show at the Hazelhurst Gallery Shop in Gymea NSW.<br />
The design is inspired by the Bangalow Palm trees we have in our garden.<br />

If you are on Instagram please keep a look out for the fund raiser called Art for Bales 2019. I took part last year and sadly their help is still needed as our farmers face another year of drought which also means more bushfires. It all takes a toll on both farmers and the animals.<br />
<br />
I will be selling 3 of my porcelain brooches so check out #artforbales2019 and my Instagram account - @potterybyanna.<br />
The sale is only on Instagram and will go live from 19 October 2019.<br />
