The little treasures I have put in the wood kiln with not much confidence but a lot of hope came out quite beautiful. For your judgment:
The results are here
Another wood firing event 2023
The annual event of wood firing is happening this month. Last weeks packing (the dwarfs among the giants are mine) and the fire in the kiln yesterday. The big reveal is next weekend. Stay tuned……
Market Day @NMA
I will have stall at the new venture of the shop at the National Museum of Australia. Market day this Sunday 7th May from 9am – 2pm. Please come visit me if you are around. Some to the pots I will have there for sale.
The market will have lots of stalls, food, music and pop up fashion. Promises to be fun day.
New display
I need to get my clay creations out of the house soon or I will drown in them. But until I manage that, I had to un-clutter my house, somehow. Hence, this beautiful wood shelving. Wood from Thor’s hammer, decorative brackets and some wood working resulted in this:
Dairy Road Market – Design Canberra
I will have a stall with my latest tableware and some decorative items as well, at the Dairy Road market. Please mark the day: 6th November 2022 from 10am to 2pm.
It is part of Design Canberra festival and promises to be a happy and festive event with live music food and drink trucks and hopefully nice weather.
Some photos of what will be available on my table. There might be a few surprise mirrors for sale too. Please drop by if you are in the area or travel specially. It will be worth it.
Winter is COLD! Something to warm you up
Working with clay in this cold weather is almost unthinkable. So instead I knit. I have gone from wearable to accessories. Less measurements and less reasons to unravel what is already knitted. And as usual not much for words. Let the craft speaks.
Some more of the same firing
I finely got around to cleaning and sanding the bottoms of these ones. Very happy with the glazes combinations.
Out of the kiln….
This will be a story told over a few posts. It is so cold and windy here that it is painful to take photos outside. Indoor photos do not do justice to theses ones.
Packing the kiln
Woodfiring is exciting and unpredictable. Usually a two day event, this time packing the kiln was done in one day thanks to some really determined and organised people (not me 😀 )
A few images from outside and inside the kiln:
It’s that time of the year
The month before the annual communal wood firing is my busiest month in the year. I have made a few new vessels inspired by my visit to the Israel Museum last time I visited Jerusalem. A few images of the vessels that inspired me and a few image of the vessel that came from under my hands.
