My previous post on how to make a pottery apron is my most popular post (thanks to Pinterest!) so thought I’d put it out there again for those of you that did not see it previously. One of the downsides of doing pottery is the mess…unless you have an awesome pottery apron that keeps the […]
Here are the step-by-step instructions on doing a pit firing! It was great fun! Fast, easy, and interesting results! I know that this is a far step from the high fire glazes that I’m striving for and it does take me in another direction, but…it’s available! So I take advantage of these opportunities to learn! […]
When I attended the Greg Daly workshop hosted by the Coastal Claymakers in Coffs Harbour at the TAFE, I was gobsmacked by the wonderful throwing area and the tables they had constructed. Such a wonderful work area! The tables surrounding the wheels provided a really convenient workspace that fit right around the wheel. So…remember that […]

I thought I would give you an update on my studio and the barn/shed redo. It’s all done now and looks fantastic! What an amazing place! The history of the barn is very interesting. Originally, it was the workshop for Griffith Tablecraft. Some of you Australians may remember the business and the location – Treetops […]

I received an order for 18 mugs. Geez! Shouldn’t be a hard ask! But I NEVER make anything the same twice! I used to…so they want more…damn! Anyway, after taking Malcolm Greenwood’s class, I now know how to get mugs consistently the same size with little pain! Firstly, you need to use the same amount […]
Hail Mary, full of grace! Create a Marian Grotto as a reminder to ask Our Lady to pray for us, and reflect on the Angel Gabriel's message to her from God!
Hola de nuevo!!!! En la entrada de hoy os quiero mostrar la última mesita de noche que he recuperado. Ya sabéis que me encantan este tipo de muebles porque son muy versátiles y se pueden poner en casi cualquier rincón de nuestro hogar. En este caso era una mesilla más, muy común y sin mucho glamour ni belleza pero eso iba a cambiar!!! Este era su aspecto antes Como me gusta mucho la combinación del blanco y el negro decidí que esa iba a ser la decoración elegida para esta pequeña mesilla. Como siempre los colores de Mary Paint. En esta ocasión el Blanco Antiguo y el Negro. Y así quedó Las rayas que tanto me gustan y es que quedan tan elegantes... Me gusta mucho como quedan las molduras en blanco contrastando con el negro. Como uno de los tiradores originales estaba roto le puse otros pero del mismo estilo y los pinté de blanco antiguo también. Quedan genial!! El cuadrito es un lienzo hecho con transferencia de una lámina de botánica antigua. Estoy haciendo una serie. En cuanto la tenga completa os la enseño. Esta decoración le da un aspecto actual manteniendo la esencia de otra época por lo que quedaría bien en cualquier tipo de ambientes. Y como siempre la foto del antes y después. De patito feo a Cisne, en este caso negro. Esta mesilla se encuentra a la venta en mi Tienda. Espero que os haya gustado esta recuperación y os espero en la próxima!!!!! Besos para tod@s!!!
I love alternative firing of pottery. It’s so alive, visceral, earthy and unpredictable. It’s also such a quick, instant gratification process as compared to a Cone 10 Gas Reduction firing (which I love!), so it’s a nice deversion. I’ve done a pit fire. I’ve raku’d. And now I’ve barrel-fired – and am totally hooked! Barrel […]

Have you ever had one of those moments when you were merrily skipping along, minding your own business when something hits you in the face? Whap!!! Well, that’s what happened when I found Carol Long’s Pottery! Wow! She has the most elegant forms, with the most intricate detailing, and the most amazing glazes! Love ’em! […]

Hola amigas! Me encantan los cojines clava agujas o pincushion, pero tenía ganas de coser uno diferente. Me he decidido por un modelo un pelín grande (20 cm de altura), pero que además de poder clavar los alfileres, pudiese guardar las agujas de coser a parte ( no sé vosotras, pero las mías desaparecen misteriosamente dentro de los cojines...jijijiji), las tijeras pequeñas y bobinas de hilo. He dibujado un triangulo, he cosido cuatro partes, rellenado de boata, y con una bolsita de arroz tostado en la base, le he cosido dos bolsillos, uno normal para las tijeras y otro con fruncido para varias bobinas de hilo, y un pequeño cojín en forma de seta para las agujas de coser...y por fin no desaparecerán en las profundidades de la boata... Ah!! y todo a mano, sigo en huelga con la máquina de coser. Me he decantado por tonos de otoño, con calabazas y setas incluidas. Abajo encontraréis el patrón por si os animáis a hacerlo. La base mide 14cm x 14 cm. Hay que añadir el margen de costura, la calabaza es un yoyó al que le he dado forma con hilos de rafia (los patrones de las setas no los tengo, las cosí hace algún tiempo...). Patrón Hasta pronto!

It was the New York Times Square love fest ’08, with 10 banners by 10 New York designers + me, all with one word, and one word only: LOVE. They were up in Times Square between 42nd to 48th St, from 6th to 8th Ave. in February 2008. 2008
