Berry Crumble

After jumping off the jetty half a dozen times at Currawong at the weekend I think I've finally cleared the cobwebs. If only I'd arranged a couple of photos. What a lazy, lazy January I've had. And loved every minute. Oh, and the chocolate.
Speaking of photos it was exciting to see a couple of my pieces in the Neil Perry feature in the Good Weekend on Saturday - thanks Kris and Chris for filling them with berry crumble and making them look delicious.
A couple of weeks ago I drove to Victoria to visit a few places. One of which was the fab Stockroom at Kyneton. It was great to see my pieces sitting amongst so many gorgeous works by other artists. What a cool, cool gallery - loved it! The journey home went via Tumut to visit the taxidermist, a peony grower and another potter. What a lovely experience.

It's back to the wheel for me to work on some new stuff - firstly some cool, fat porcelain bangles.
Here are the beginnings . . . such a pleasure to plunge my hands into a tub of cold water in the current climate. I'm really looking forward to seeing them displayed at Gaffa Gallery with a few text pendants next week.


     
















On Monday the first session of classes start so we've given the studio a good scrub and ordered a heap of clay. It'll be good to see some return potters getting back into it and to get some new ones hooked on the wheel. It's far to hot to type any more and besides 'Getting On' is on. How funny is Jo Brand? Goodbye!
