Bisqued!

Usually nothing exciting to report after low temperature bisque firing. I wish that was the result today. Opened the kiln to find this plate crumbled…… not exactly what one expects :(.

Preparing for the next firing

As promised I’m going to show you what I do as I do it. A story in pictures. My next firing is going to be somewhat smaller than usual. Hopefully quality over quantity.

These are drying up nicely hopefully dry enough for this weekend.

On a new path

I have been away from my website for a very long time. I guess developing my new craft did take up all of my available time. Now that I feel like I got a bit of control over the pottery wheel it is time to get back to sharing what I do as I do it.

As it is a blog I will try to keep it up more often than I did. Hopefully people will find it interesting.

Here is my new business card. A journey of a thousand mile start with one small step. newBC

This was ordered for the next market I am going to take part in, an emerging makers market organised by Canberra Potters.

When: 3-4 August Where: @Watson Art Centre , ACT. Hope to see you there.

A trip to Melbourne

As a long leave was forced on me for Christmas I decided to take the trip I was dreaming of for a very long time. A drive through the south coast of NSW down to Melbourne. So I packed a tent, a sleeping bag, few cloths and a book and on the road I went. Here it is in photographs.

Chanuka on the hill

A week before Chanuka the Jewish community was invited to light the Chanukia candles at Parliament house.

It was so windy it is another Chanuka miracle they actually managed to light them.

Canberra in Black and white

It has been a long time since I have been here mainly because it has been a long time since I have made any beads or mirrors.
The work space in my living room was a bit too big for the time I have spent working so I have torn it down. Now I am trying to find another place to make beads but it is a slow process.
However until I figure it out I had to find something else to fill my time with so I have decided to get serious with my photos, that is photoshop and publish them. To that end I have joined the adobe community or as it is better know: Creative cloud.
That reminded me that I already have a website and I might as well use it.

So here is a sample of the results of my creativity with the Creative Cloud. (More of my photos can be found in the could here.)
