How many women in Sydney own a wood splitter and sing at the opera house?
For the first time in six years well known Sydney potter Roswitha Wulff is offering her pot-
tery for sale at her Botany studio along with the works of guest potters Peter Thompson
from Kuranda and Neil Fenning of Sydney. The quantity of pottery available is massive
and the quality is top drawer … electric, reduction and wood-fired processes are all repre-
sented.
As a result of years of creativity and experimentation a wide range of sublime functional
pottery including bowls, mugs, plates, and vases will be available, as well as Roswitha’s
unique modular wall pieces similar in concept to that commissioned by the St. Vincent’s
Hospital. Those familiar with Roswitha’s pottery will be excited by her new colours and
surfaces.
Peter Thompson’s sculptural vessels relating to his interest in folklore and the environment
are evidenced by his recent A. D. Gill pieces. The ash deposited by the wood-fired kiln en-
livens the surfaces of Peter’s ceramics as well as other pottery included in this exceptional
event.
When finished wood-firing her pottery, Roswitha Wulff will be singing ‘Songs for Shakespeare’ with fellow Sydney Philharmonic Festival Chorus members May 14th, and 15th at the Sydney Opera House.

$450 for a three day workshop Using simple three dimensional forms students will explore composition and drawing on the form, taking into consideration all aspects of the three dimensional surface and not be limited by edges and boundaries. Diana’s daily demonstrations will include using molds to build simple forms, surface applications such as layering of slips and underglazes to create rich fields of color, drawing on and in the clay, the use of oxides, firing and tips and tricks to obtaining clean crisp lines in clay. Diana will also discuss and demonstrate other ceramic mediums and processes to create rich and interesting surfaces on your three dimensional forms, using things like cardboard letter stencils and old letterpress typeface, as well as how to transfer your images onto clay surfaces without sophisticated drawing skills. During her demonstrations, Diana will discuss elements of design, how to push the boundaries and see your pieces as limitless surfaces for expressing your visual ideas.Details of workshop here.
