We're almost ready for you! Studio sale today from 11am - 2pm at 6 Grays Road, Fern Tree.

It might be chilly, may even be snowing, but we'll have the fire crackling away and a pot of something warming on the stove. These pieces and lots more at my studio sale tomorrow from 11-2.

I have quite a few hand basins in the mix for my sale this Sunday. 11-2 at 6 Grays Road, Fern Tree.

I'm opening my doors this Sunday from 11-2. Tableware, hand basins and lighting. I look forward to seeing you all at 6 Grays Road, Fern Tree.

Lots of positive feedback on the idea of an impromptu sale this Sunday so I'm making it happen. Opening the doors at 11am and all finished by 2pm. Lots of mugs for your winter warmers, lovely big soup bowls, jugs, serving dishes, lights and ..... some great deals on hand basins!
Can't wait to see you all at 6 Grays Road, Fern Tree x

New glaze. Pretty happy with these lovely grey blue tones.

Cups to clasp, for all your warming winter drinks. There is no denying winter has arrived here in Tasmania.

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.
