Today in the studio, I’m listening to Zoe Keating’s @zoecello beautiful new album “Snowmelt” as the cello rocks back and forth, my breathing slows and the clay thumps onto the wheel and spins outwards making bowl after bowl. All I can feel is the slippery, centrifugal force of the clay and bees collect pollen from the rocket flowers outside my door. So far from the icy, life zapping promise of the snowmelt in the dry subtropical spring and so close to the same force that as Dylan Thomas once said “through the green fuse drives the flower.” #australianceramics #artistslife #makersmovement
Working on big pots! I've been so intimidated by these big pots, as with a lot of scary things they are not so bad once you get to know them! I actually think we could become friends. These are for my solo show "Depths of Light" at @narekgalleries in January. The wonderful @tedsecombe helped me make them. #australianceramics #Qlddesign #terrasig #instapottery #australianartist #markmaking
In the studio yesterday. @cellodreaming and I are working on something special for the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Hobart (1-4th of May) next year. I love working with other artists especially when I say.... "Do you think we could do... Insert insane suggestion...? " and they say "Yes!" #australianceramics #australianceramicstriennale #Qlddesign #wip #artistslife
"Line of Desire" is the phrase used to describe the the unofficial paths created by desire rather than officially designated paths. A line of desire is an insistent bid for independence and freedom. I think the lines Welcome Swallows trace through the blue air are lines of desire, impossible to photograph or follow. Only motion and light. #australianceramics #Qlddesign #welcomeswallow #birdsofaustralia #australianartist #drawing
Detail. "Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its highest. Live in fragments no longer." From one of my favourite books E. M Forster's Howard's End. #australianceramics #Qlddesign #terrasig #seaweed #australianartist #instapottery
Teapots, the holy grail of the potter's art. When I teach workshops this is an item that everyone wants to make. I was the same when I first started out and I made plenty of dribbley, poorly balanced teapots in my early years! They are hard to make but very satisfying. #teadreams #australianceramics #tawnyowl #handmadeteapots #makersvillage #instapottery #australianartist
Big, fragile drawings. #wippottery
Our house is a funny place, it looks like a little wooden house but downstairs pots come out of one door and handmade mozzarella and buffalo cheese out of the other. Spring is in the air, time for burrata made by my favourite cheesemaker @cedar .street.cheeserie (he didn't make me say that, he really is my favourite!) #australianceramics #Qlddesign #slowlivingforlife #localhandmade #malenyhandmade #burrata
Making work, animals on pots are part of a long and crazy tradition. I think there is a parallel between the companionship we share with animals and the companionship and comfort we draw from important objects that travel this world with us. An animal on a pot enlivens an inanimate object creating a link to our human relationships with nature and within our own selves. Animals are symbolic on every level from culturally accepted symbols such as lions for courage or doves for peace through to personal animal talismans that remind us of those we love or a cherished, secret
Sleeping Beauty Australis (at @rochfortgallery ) Composition is a fascinating, formal aspect of drawing, it can lead the eye around a drawing, picking you up and depositing you somewhere unexpected. With three dimensional objects the composition communicates with the form, the drawing interacting not only with the shape but also with the cultural history of that particular form. In this way the drawing is very active, all the times we've touched, looked at or interacted with a bowl coming to bear on the drawing. I love this about decorated pots. #australianceramics #Qlddesign #pottersofinstagram #potterytechniques #markmaking #australianartist
