Organised

After an awesome market last night I am feeling really excited about the exhibitions in Feb. Yep, that's right! 2.
More about that on the exhibitions and markets page.

So today I visited Potters Market then got stuck into the studio. So organised! No excuses now.

Christmas plum jam

This Christmas friends and neighbours will be getting my homemade plum jam to enjoy on hot buttered toast. I'll be taking a jar down south to eat on bread from Tas's bakery and enjoy with the family. Heaven!

Aussie felties for my sister

Here are two little cuties for my sister to give her friend who is moving home to the US.

November Pots

Tis the season to be.... very busy!

I was in the Jacaranda Market in Applecross on Saturday. A bit disappointing in terms of sales but great networking and I received some fantastic feedback on my pots. I have been very busy this past month preparing for Jacaranda as well as PSP Christmas exhibition and William St after dark that my friend Louise is in.

Here are some of my new pots:

Some little condiment pots 

 Breakfast set

 Botanical beakers

 

 New handle mugs

 

 Breakfast bowls

Hulbert St Success

Phew! What a huge weekend! This year's Hulbert St Fiesta was a tremendous success. 2 full days of huge crowds, happy people and good sales. We met some wonderful people, got great feedback and I got to spend a full day with my besty! Luxury.

Here are some sbefore snaps of some of my pots:

 

 

The photos above were taken before I worked out my new camera! They are actually exactly the same gorgeous white procelain as the crisp ones below but I had different lighting when I took the photos.

 

There are a few different prints. It was so interesting to hear people's different preferences. The ones I absolutely love and thought would sell the fastest were sometimes different to what people naturally gravitated towards!

 

 

Here are some shots of the market and our stall:

 



 

I had lots of people ask where I sell and where I would be next. Nat and I have just decided to do the Jacaranda Festical in Applecross in November. i will upload my market and exhibition page shortly.

New prints for pots

I have been developing some new screen prints for my pots ready for the Hubert St Fiesta by photographing leaves and flowers found in the school garden and my own. These are just test pots for a new midfire glaze that I have mixed and since I have never tried mid fire glaze and there is an excellent chance they won't work out at all, I have photographed them now to remember how nice the prints look.
