  I started the year off taking part in the fund raiser for the islands of Tonga who have been hit by an Tsunami and an earthquake.. the clay community came together and raised $A17,589 for the small Pacific nation. My brooch sold but the ring is still available. Then happily someone decided they needed more of my pigs so I had a good reason to get into my studio again.. Some reasonable results but disappointed in a couple of vases.. the glaze I used is a fickle one and this time it was not wanting to play. Yesterday was time to clean bottoms and pig trotters ..read more

 I was working towards an entry in the Port Hacking Potters National Competition but unfortunately it has been cancelled.. Due to Covid restrictions in Sydney the gallery has closed and with it unclear as to when it could reopen the decision was made to cancel.  The committee couldn't risk pots from other states being left in limbo.  It is possible the group will stage a members only show a bit later, so another door opens. I am fortunate to have my own kiln at home and have been able to continue work on a commission and some other work.   I was quite happy with thes ..read more
