vintage carousel and lustre galleries share the fun

okay, so i've emerged from the holiday joy into a brand new year. what better way to start than with 2 new retail outlets?
you can now find some of my brooches and a necklace or two at "vintage carousel", a fabulous vintage shop on hawker street, brompton, run by the lovely rachel will.
the other shop with which i have had the pleasure of doing business with is "Lustre Galleries" at 18 Peel Street, Adelaide. This gallery is run by Christine Pyman, an Adelaide jeweller who is most well known for her "joyful woman" series.
get out there!

whitmore square arts fair scraped through with minimal rain. a lovely vibe to the event and really nice to have a bit of contact with people. i rarely do markets, so it was good to hear what people liked/didn't like about some of my work (i took beakers and badges - nothing over $20!) and also nice to sell with no commission for a change. also swapped a piece with a fellow maker. nice.

Hope to catch you soon!

all about making

what a strange and wonderful process this ceramic art life is. periods of making, creating, playing, followed by the anxious wait associated with firing. what you then hope for is a collection of beautiful objects, ready to be enjoyed by others and maybe some for my own space.
at the moment my hands and heart keep themselves busy making new objects.
watch this space.
