When I first heard of the whole PRINT ON CLAY thing, this was about the only site out there on the subject.  I am glad it is still there, still some good stuff to see.  It is not the most up to date or teeniest of websites but there's some inspirational work there, have a look.

Keeping up with myself

I listed all the things I have on the cards this year for my work and it seems like a lot, but I am always busy doing 'stuff', so - why do I always feel like I never get much done.  Maybe I don't pause long enough to acknowledge when I finish something.  Balancing family life and studio work is something I struggle to stay on top of, but I am a tryer.
This week, as mentioned in a recent post, we begin the Clayer E-Course with Diana Fayt.  I think the class list which filled very quickly, includes at least five Australian potters who have signed up, it should be fun.
Additionally, I will be participating in a short E-course on writing with Owen Rye NSW wood firer and writer.  Wait a sec, I am voluntarily signing up for HOMEWORK - I must be nuts.
Some great teaching gigs have landed on my desk and I cannot wait to get into that at a some primary and high schools and some of the TAFE's in Perth.  Crikey every potter in Perth will be printing on their work!  Why are you all looking at me?

Little Old me!

An exceptionally nice little birdie has intimated that my work will be featured in the next edition of the Journal of Australian Ceramics.  Do you know how exciting that is to a rookie like me?  I'll dance a jig when I see it.  I have had pictures printed in the past but this will be a little lot more. Whenever I think about it I suppress my glee and enjoy the anticipation even more. Of course I will scan and post it here to share, but meanwhile you might check out their website which is very useful indeed to potters.  Being a member of the Australian Ceramics Association was a very good move, I feel connected to Aussie potters and among friends.

Now back to the grindstone ....

Salamanca Arts Centre – Between the Tidelines

I would so love to be attending Henrietta Norris's Artist Talk at this event on Wednesday, if only Tasmania was not such a jump from Western Australia. Look at her work, she has worked long and hard to achieve these wonderful results. I cannot wait to see more photos of the exhibited work.

Ceramic Arts Association of Western Australia

Whoopsie!  I wrote a posting here about the new website for CAAWA - the Ceramic Arts Association of Western Australia.  That was in May 2011 - I told you I hadn't done much blogging last year, and it seems that I actually forgot to hit the PUBLISH button.  Not too smart of me but to err is human and all that jazz.  Anyhow, check out CAAWA, it provides a good overview of the variety of potters here, many are woodfirers, some are strictly porcelain bods and there are plenty of other varieties.

Here is some work by Janis Heston - yet another potter who lives very close to me, and they are all so NICE too.  Lucky me.
