SALA 2016: Cotton + WOOD

For this years SALA I also, very last minute, decided to register for an exhibition entitled Cotton + WOOD. A continuation of some of my previous artworks, I wanted to explore the technique of crochet and balsa wood further and experiment with various patterns, colour ways  etc in order to work towards producing pieces for markets and online sale and finally get my little design boutique off the ground running. Here are some photos of the night, I will be uploading photos of the individual pieces very soon, so watch this space....

A new direction ::: CERAMICS

Over the past few months I have been taking various ceramics short courses in order to up my skills a bit. I have loved ceramics ever since tip-toeing into the subject area ever so slightly at the end of my graduate project and have wanted to learn more about it. Adelaide has such a large ceramic artist community, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take that step. My first course was in Surface Texture and Decoration at the Jam Factory, taught by Sofia Nuske and recently I also completed a beginners wheel throwing course at TAFE ARTS; I am also currently completing a semester there too. Here are some pieces that I made whilst on the individual courses....
