Latest Works




I have been enjoying learning how to 'throw' - as a beginner potter Ive got nothing to show at this stage but it is wonderfully therapeutic. I have also been hand building - and this small white figure is the latest piece and I was game enough to put a head on - and of course its not really in proportion but a little better than the last attempt. It is very powerful to be able to add a head on - create the neck then the jaw and so on - it just amazes me. I can also lop it off if I dont like it! Also here is a painting Ive been working on for about two years, but not continuously. Last Sunday there was an open studio event at the 'Workshop' in Willoughby and I was fortunately enough to be invited to attend - so I spent the day working on this painting - still not finished but I am happy with it for now. Here is also a look at my art wall - a combination of works.

Pit Firing






I was fortunate to attend a workshop on pitfiring at a property in Richmond. The results were fantastic. The images speak for themselves
