A much needed holiday. Some photos from my recent visit with my family.

It was fun, thank you for coming

It was a wonderful weekend market with a lot of interested visitors and very supportive crowd. This is the beginning and the end of my table.

I am now taking a long awaited time off from work and pottery for a bit of sunshine and beaches. Looking forward to see you all again around Christmas.

Emerging makers market

I really like what came out the kiln this Monday. Will be for sale on the weekend market at Watson Art Centre in Canberra. A very welcome initiative by Canberra Potters to help new makers promote and market their creations.

Glazes – new and old

Preparing a new batch for reduction firing this weekend.

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.
