Here on our misty mountain we have had 4 days of rain and more to come, the mould is happy! The biggest problem is that pots won’t dry so heaters are on and the firings are very slow. On a happy note, my Mt Tamborine classes are full and running and a new 5 week course at Gold Coast Potters Mudgeeraba studio is about to start on 25 May. If you are on the Goldie and interested in getting into clay either for the first time or as a return, this is your chance.

the studio build
It has taken five months but it’s been worth the wait. My studio is nearly finished and the kiln is in and connected. All that is left to do is the finishing touches and to unpack all my pottery gear. Easy peasy, right?
Now I can get back to creating in this beautiful new space built by my incredibly clever partner, Steve.
