Welcome!
Hand built ceramics inspired by the love of colour and nature
Australian Ceramics Association Open Studios
A sneak preview of just a few of the pieces available in my studio for sale on the ACOS Open Studio weekend. Take a lovely drive in the country and have a browse. Maybe purchase a piece for yourself or for a Christmas gift for a loved one.
Dates - Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 November 202410am - 4pm daily https://members.australianceramics.com/social/open-studios/
My studio will be open along with 200 other ceramicists across the country. There will be many new saggar pots for viewing and purchasing, which I have been busily making in the last few months. I would love to see you there.
Come and have a cuppa and a chat. Everyone is welcome.

Current Project
My latest works are hand built ceramic pieces produced using a saggar firing process in an electric kiln. Saggars are sealed containers used to encase ceramic pieces during firing. By controlling the atmosphere within the saggar, artists can create various design effects. Organic materials, such as leaves, sawdust, or salts, are often placed within the saggar. As the kiln reaches high temperatures, these materials release smoke and vapor, which can interact with the ceramics. Other additives such as metallic salts, oxides or minerals can be added. These interactions lead to unique surface patterns, including smoky veils, flashes of color, and distinctive markings.
The saggar firing process is known for its element of surprise. leading to unexpected and captivating design effects that are difficult to replicate through traditional kiln firing. The saggar technique invites experimentation and fosters creativity, resulting in one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces with stunning visual appeal.
