Shots from the showroom.

Lovely overlapping layers of subtle greens and earthy tones. These two straight from the kiln and on their way to Queensland this afternoon, barely a second to appreciate and photograph them.

My favourites from a recent project. Can't tell all yet as this is my part in a collaboration but I think it's a line of enquiry I'd like to go further with.

Going through images of old work and pondering pieces that deserve to be brought back and pushed forward into new iterations.

The repetition in production allows time to dig deep into the details, to develop the sight to see and the muscle memory to feel the work in it's intricacies. Time to hunt down the sweet spot where, for reasons unexplainable, everything seems just right until you try again.

Glazing hand basins today. The ghosts of these drips and lines will remain after firing to tell a story of the making.

Handles happening. There was a time that I loathed pulling handles and I spent a long time experimenting with alternative methods but found that no other process produces the right feeling. So now I pull them in the way that potters have always known is best. The tactile surface, the naturally weighted curve, the tapering that fits the fingers. I've given in to the fact that each one is a little different knowing that each hand is a little different.

New things happening in the workshop.

Had to pop a new shelf up to house all the new treasures (and a few old treasures too) acquired at the @australianceramicstriennale last week. Big shout out to the organizing crew for a fabulous event, it has left me full to the brim in all the good ways! To name a few of the potters in this image ; @elisahellandhansen @a.hjortshoj @nancyfullerpottery @dollysflatstudio @artistpotter @joshcopuspottery @slockwood737 @hkane.studio @ridgelinepottery @porcelume , even snuck a couple of my own pots onto the shelf.
