Quick Overview

This was the second in a series of chairs that I started a little while ago.  It's called 'Garden After Party', and it came from that feeling of nostalgia  - the plastic one on the the stoep, the wire one out on the lawn, the deckchair folded up in the garage, still with a bit of sand on from the day at the beach. They represent the memories and the times they were part of; and isn't it funny how we can all relate to these chairs?!

Quick Overview

These bowls are great for different salads or sides when you're entertaining.  Also work well as fruit bowls.  They have even been used as a pot plant holder:)

Best to wash by hand (the high temperature of a dishwasher can cause fine cracks in the glaze over time).

Quick Overview

For this original painting, I used shapes from different plants in my garden.  I combined colour and pattern to contrast them against each other, the overall effect becoming quite vivid with detail, tone and texture.  There are many layers and many marks!

Quick Overview

I've finally gotten around to learning how to form a bowl from clay with my own hands, and then paint my own image onto it!  Its been a learning curve, and I don't think you can ever know everything about ceramics even if you spend your whole life doing it! But I'm looking forward to learning and doing more!

These are small trinket bowls, made from earthenware clay.  Images are painted with black underglaze and then scratched to get the fine detail - a technique called sgrafitto, which I absoloutely love.

Each bowl has a proverb or idiom running along the bottom.  They are all one of a kind:)
