As promised here’s more pics from this weekend’s amazing workshop. I’m still buzzing with ideas and craving a good solid week in the studio (yeah right like my little guy will let me have that! ) to work through some new ideas I’ve got thanks to all the inspiration.














Daven Hee Workshop

So I realize I’ve been fairly quiet on the blog lately. I’ve been busy with making work for a big show, enjoying my garden, spending time in the sun with my family and having a blast hosting a visit from Hawaiian born ceramic artist Daven Hee. I first met Daven when we were both grad students at the Australian National University. When he mentioned he was going to visit the mainland I knew I had to get him out for a workshop. Last night he had us laughing like mad at his artist talk and today’s workshop was filled with amazing insight into his process and some lovely, lovely pots. I can’t wait for tomorrow’s demos. Here’s a brief look at today’s highlights, more later…





My Top 10 List (how does Letterman do it? )

by | May 27, 2009 | Uncategorized

So I was recently presented with the challenge to compile a Top 10 list of ceramics blogs. Quite the honor to be asked, I soon discovered exactly how difficult this task would actually be. I spent a few days filtering through my blogroll and bookmarks, re-aquainting myself with old favorites, friends and ceramic practices from all over the world. What this left me with was an insanely long list of fantastic blogs and a road block of how I was going to narrow down all of these blogs, the individual lives, practices and fantastic work behind them. Well it had to be done so if you head over to blogs.com you’ll find my final selection. I’m sure there are many that would compile a very different list than this and again my favorites list was long…I’d love to hear though in the comments what would be your Top 10.

Cheers
