There risk of failure is higher with large pieces and the smallest flaw can be a huge frustration. In this case I decided to repair a tiny crack using a technique similar to traditional Japanese kintsugi, filling the gap with gold leaf embedded in epoxy. Now I love this piece even more than the flawless ones!

Open bowls in a subtle variety of tones and textures heading to a lucky dinner table soon.

A little kiln goddess to bring me luck and keep me company while I fire the new kiln. 🙏 🔥

First pack in the new gas kiln, she'll get fired up tomorrow. Pleasantly surprised at the capacity, now let's see how she handles the heat!

My fellow makers will appreciate my excitement about the little package of shiny new tools that arrived in this mornings post. The second picture shows how worn out one of my old favourites is compared to it's replacement, the exact same tool! Now I'm going to go and clean, cull and arrange all my tools like any self confessed tool nerd would 🤓

This speckled beauty went home with the fabulous @oysterandpearl last week. Check her out if you are into top quality, australian designed and made spectacular clothing in glorious fabrics! She makes sure I'm well dressed and I make sure she has lovely ceramics at hand. So good to have talented creative buddies around to share all the things with.

A lovely custom order heading out the door today, one hand basin with two matching pendant lights. There are more than just hand basins happening here! This finish requires a lot of polishing and finishing but the effort is always worth it, so rich and tactile.

I know it seems boring but this is actually the most exciting thing I have seen in a long time! This beautiful beast of a kiln has been in the works for 3 years now, insert long and extremely stressful story here, and today I saw actual real live flames inside it. Apparently the authorities do not look approvingly at people who MacGyver their own industrial gas appliances these days but I have worn them down just in time to realise that I now actually need a bigger kiln.

A quiet piece with some beautiful markings, subtle is often best.

This lovely 'Lichen' piece is heading off to a very patient client. This glaze has been very fickle recently but I have finally brought back under control these green and black beauties are back on menu!

I'm not usually a blue pottery kind of girl but this basin was a bespoke commission and the inky darkness has really drawn me in.
