Ceramics @ barMerlo

 I am a part of a group of ceramic artist which get together twice a year at barMerlo Southbank to showcase our work and sell. I will have a variety of work made in porcelain which include bowls, spoons, japanese inspired teacups and pendants. I am inspired by nature and the environment around me, my work is evolving so at each exhibition there is something different to see. I am busy creating more work for the barMerlo annual ceramic showcase and sale as l had issues with the kiln over firing. .

Inaugural Indigiscape Indoor/Outdoor Exhibition

I am the Exhibition Co-Ordinator for Sculptors Qld over the past few months l have been meeting with Redlands Indigiscape Centre to organise an exhibition in their gardens from 1st Oct - 21st Nov. The Indigscape Centre staff are excited and enthusiastic to hold an exhibition that will bring sculpture out of the gallery and to the general public. There will be professional and emerging artist whom will showcase their work in a visualy inspiring backdrop of the Indigiscape gardens. I have arranged featured artist Antone Bruinsma, Luke Zwolsman and local Redlands artist Jenny Rumney to be a part of the exhibition. I have contacted  Artworker Alliance, Redlands Creative Alliance, Sculptors Qld, Gold Coast Sculptor Society, Western Suburbs Clayworkers and many more community art groups to give artist the opportunity to enter their work in this exhibition. The work  l have entered is an abstract ceramic sculpture called "PHOENIX RISING" which is 1 mtr tall. This sculpture was fired  to 1220 deg as 1 complete piece it has oxides and a shino glaze. I dont have a photo though l will post it soon.
