Judy is another of the wonderful artists I met while in Red Deer (oh what a time I had there!) These images are of some recent work she started last year. She says “I have been doing all sorts of things related to genetically modified food and plants. These small coloured clay flowers (3-5 cm) are inspired by Asian lilies, but are “modified” with thin laminations of geometric millifiori. I grow some real lilies in my rock garden here in the Alberta foothills, but bears do come out the woods to nibble on them – a different kind of modification!”
Please check out more of her work at her website Water Valley Studios.

I’ve known of John Shirley’s work for a while now and was pleasantly surprised that he was a reader of the blog. You’ve got to find some time to spend reading and looking at the gorgeous images of his work and process on his blog. He is a ceramist working in South Africa using Bone China. He makes beautifully delicate slipcast work which uses soluble metallic salts for the soft, yet vibrant, watercolor effect.

These gorgeous cups are brought to you by Rose Bauer. I first met Rose a few years back when I was the visiting artist at the Red Deer College and was helping out with the distance ceramics program co-run by the Australian National University and the Red Deer College. Rose made fantastic work, a bowl of hers with my name on it is still floating around out there somewhere…
These pieces are hand built from Southern Ice Porcelain slip. Unglazed outside with a clear liner glaze. Rose is also a member of INTO Ceramics so look her up to see more work or to inquire about this work.
