Fabulous hand-made Lotus mugs in Nguni glaze are trotting out my kiln in beautiful Bathurst

These have a wonderful, solid, earthy yet modern feel

It's a lovely time of year. Crisp mornings and warm sun

A commission of old school mugs, jugs, bowls, and sugar bowls

Typical work made upon opening my studio in 1998. I can easily say I have made thousands of these

Thereafter, it became easier to explore creative ideas & techniques

This is muscle memory

St Johns, Bathurst...The 'elephant wallow' lake is dry and overgrown now

During heavy rains the overflow from what's left of this dip often washes away the gravel cross roads area below

Eddies of glaze below a Lotus motif. One of many gifts of a wonderful firing

Studio made clay. She is dresssed quite pleasingly in studio formulated glaze

She is dressed for an evening of fun. She does look quite fetching

I count 24 bent pyrometric cones. With another bent in my kiln right now

I've fired my 15 cubic foot kiln 25 times so far. All in preparation for Bathurst Villages Summer visitors

Thank you, Everyone, for your support. Without you, Artists evaporate!

Sublime. I'm happy. The Teadust mixing into deep honey flowing down deep below the curve of the bowl eddies amongst the deep green near the foot

What do you do when you get close to perfection?

I guess the best thing to do is to hone new magic & tune it into existence

The Teadust & Deep Green's magical intermingling play are just about perfect

This is where the soul sings. It's great to feel the creep of excitement as you come closer to expressing a visual ideal once only imagined

DM if you are interested in this one or others

Well done to the Supporter who chose this beautiful vessel named 'Flight' today

The vessel was made in response to seeing Willow's Bravery, Courage , Strength and Inner Fortitude. Both before & after her most recent open heart bypass surgery

A Victorous Vessel
