I work as a full-time potter from my Mirboo North studio in beautiful South Gippsland.
In the past a great deal of my work was created through hand painting/drawing, slip trailing and carving techniques on stoneware and porcelain.
A little over 10 years ago however, I decided to take myself out of my comfort zone and delve into the fascinating, intriguing and always challenging art of crystalline glazing.
I was amazed by the chemistry, the technical precision and focus required by this glaze, while at the same time realising how random the final results could be, how little control I actually had.
I found myself thoroughly drawn into this beautiful contradiction.
