highly commended @ heysen prize and new collaborative work

"I highly commend... Sunshine g.b. March's intriguing small ceramics that pack a lot of messages about different levels of society in a small and delightful series... "
Susan McCulloch, Judge for the Heysen Prize at Hahndorf Academy.

Delighted to be one of 4 artists selected (from the 56 finalists) for special mention at the award ceremony of the Heysen prize. The exhibition of finalists' work is open until the 1st of November. The theme is "interpretation of place".

Also at Hahndorf Academy is the first "outing" for a new series of work, created with drawings done by 2 of my children, Celso and Daisy. They were also delighted that evening, seeing their drawings in a shop! They are displayed next to a selection of some of my other work for sale in the retail gallery at Hahndorf Academy.

  4. thanks, amy, carly and george.
    glad the kids drawing idea is out at last - it's an idea that's been kicking around in my head for far too long. i had someone say "oh, they're so joyful". so good to elicit joy. they're fun to make, too. guess that leaks into the work.
