Story time - Two years ago we moved to Stanthorpe. Story time - Two years ago we moved to Stanthorpe. We didn’t know anyone here, so being a creative type I joined the local Stanthorpe Pottery Club 

I have been made to feel very welcome at the club and as a complete beginner have been guided by some very kind members. 

When one of my mentors there, Bruce, asked me to make two pendants for his grandchildren in Japan how could I refuse 😊

And so the project begins …

Sometimes a happy accident happens. I was rollin Sometimes a happy accident happens. 

I was rolling texture onto a sheet of silver recently & the sheet came out this shape. 

I quite like it - neither a square nor a circle, it’s a little more organic than I could have achieved by myself. 

Here’s to more experiments to see where this goes …

    New Jewellery Workshop Booking Options

    January 5, 2022 /

    Making Planning Your Workshop a Little Easier Organising to do anything can be a challenge, especially if there’s more than one person involved. The current uncertain times make this even harder to do, with advanced planning proving very difficult for all of us. Taking this on board, I have modified my booking arrangements to make things a little easier for you.

    The New Stanthorpe Studio

    October 25, 2021 /

    Picture this … After a coffee at one of the many great cafes in the bustling country town of Stanthorpe, you hop in the car and drive just 5 minutes out of town. You’re in the heart of the Granite Belt, surrounded by the peace and quiet of the countryside. Giant rocks scatter the landscape, kookaburras and parrots perch in the trees and there’s barely another car to be seen. You arrive at the entrance of a sweeping, long driveway edged on both sides with flowering pink camellias. Following the driveway leads you to a house nestled on the side of a hill in the middle of a 5 acre…

    Inlay Adventures – Part Two

    March 5, 2020 /

    As you will know, trying out new creative techniques can be both fun and frustrating all at the same time. As adults we often seem to set ourselves unrealistic expectations of obtaining a perfect result first time around. Unreasonably comparing our abilities as beginners to those of the masters. To help to take the pressure off and give us a greater chance of success, it’s worthwhile taking time to ‘play’. Make models, build prototypes and test pieces. Just using the word ‘test’ or ‘experiment‘ takes away all the expectations of perfection, allowing us freedom to explore, create and learn. With this in mind I’ve been continuing my experiments with metal…

    Inlay Adventures – Part One If you’re anything like me you enjoy trying new creative techniques. It’s fun and very much part of the creative process, but can also be frustrating and time consuming. Recently I’ve been taking time to explore new techniques in more detail before diving in to make a finished product. This is proving a great way to experiment and learn a skill with minimal risk and it’s much less daunting. An easy way to learn by my mistakes and build on my failures. To see what works and what doesn’t, what I like and what I’m not so keen on. Rather than keeping this all to…

    An Island Day Out from Brisbane

    With the start of the Easter school holidays now upon us, like me, you might well be thinking of ways to entertain your children for the next couple of weeks. I don’t know about you, but I love to visit places which are easy to get to & enjoyable for all the family. With this in mind I thought I’d tell you about a little island just off the coast which to me fits the bill perfectly for a day out from Brisbane.
