Happy 2025 - Year of The Snake !! Summer news ...

Hello !!

Are you looking forward to lots of good things this year ? I certainly am !!

Ive had the best Summer so far in the garden , even though we've had some scorching hot days .

My husbands workshop build is now complete , and now we move on to planning and executing my studio build . These things take TIME !!! But it IS happening , and Im really hoping to have a lovely OPENING by the end of this year , Im saving all my very special pieces especially - so fingers crossed we can finish it in good time !!

This piece was from a firing at Susan Acheson's catanery arch woodfired kiln 'Frieda' in November last year .

The clay is a mix of our own 'Croydon Gold ' and studio blend /commercial clays.

Porcelain slip , with a Hakame brush decoration , and Ash glaze made from the Casuarina (Sheaok) trees on our property .

The stamps tell the story of the 'ingredients' of the pot , with my signature 'chop' and the year . Im loving the little feet as well

Stay tuned for an UPDATE on a small feature of my Bird Series work at Good Earth Pottery in 2025 !

In the meantime ... Im looking forward to getting into the studio to begin making for my firings , gas fired work and hopefully a few small batch Online Updates .. (which I'll let my subscribers know about ), and the adventures of wood firings .. and of course porcelain Bird Series and painting .. did i mention I picked up some Japanese porcelain ?

Have a wonderful year won't you ?
