Some bowls

Experimenting to find a range to sell at markets:

Some with sprigs (detail) and some with slip and brush work.  I'll bisque them and then see if they need any more decoration before being glazed.

Shard

Little pieces of pottery can turn up in unexpected places:

this was at Cronulla Beach.

Sketch in watercolour

These flowers sneak up under the big green leaves of this tropical plant which grows in our sheltered courtyard.

Just the right size

I made a few of these little plates to use at home and they are just the right size for my morning toast.

It is so nice to use a hand made piece and these can safely go in the dishwasher.

Holiday sketches

This year I will be using my sketch book more often.
I started with these water colour sketches while staying in Coolangatta, Qld. Fortunately we were well away from the floods.

Lovely yellow creeper is used in many gardens in the area.

Day 4 - Master class

Two part throwing.  Pedestal bowls and cake stand and how to throw a wobbly pot on purpose :^)

Finishing off the pots from yesterday and adding handles

Master Class in Throwing - Day 1

These are 'clay sketches' made on the first day of the Master Class with Sandy Lockwood
- a four day class being held at the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery.

Studio clean up

 

This image was taken during the cooler months but it shows the view I have from my studio.  I am having a big clean up, throwing out those old tests I'll never use - putting things back where they belong and tomorrow, when it is cooler I'll wash the floor and pack my tools ready for the Master class with Sandy Lockwood in a couple of weeks time.
