<br />
2019 has come to an end before I even had time to write a post to start the year.<br />
<br />
Every year seems so full these days.<br />
Is it just me or does life get bigger and fuller as we get older?<br />
Certainly, the family expands and contracts and seems to be a living organism that is made up of many individuals breathing as a whole with a heartbeat that keeps us all working as a family unit.<br />
<br />
I am pleased to announce that I have now completed my MA Vis Art/Ceramics!<br />
It has only taken me six years!<br />
Hahahaha<br />
Well better late than never!<br />
My priority is always my family but I try to have a little bit of "me time" in and around the time spent with my nearest and dearest.<br />
<br />
It has been a great way to really think about what and why I make and do what I do.<br />
I have no regrets about having taken on this study although at times over the years I thought I was crazy to have taken it on.<br />
Now that it is done I am so pleased that I have spent this time focused on my work.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are interested in attending the graduation show opening or just visiting the exhibition<br />
it would be lovely to see you.<br />

<br />
As usual it has been a busy time here.<br />
I have now done 14 firings in my new kiln and I love it to pieces.<br />
<br />
I have just competed the next 18 units in my MA Vis Arts with a series of figurative sculpture.<br />
It was great to sculpt for a change and I will certainly be following through the remainder of my degree with work that builds on this new series of work.<br />

Heading back from Canberra from my assessments </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stopped at 'Balmoral' Studio to participate in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of Sandy Lockwood's workshops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sandy has probably been the teacher who has had </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the strongest influence on my ceramic practice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her workshops are my soul food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been attending her workshops (whenever I can) since 2014.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I have have had various esteemed teachers, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
over my 43 year association with clay,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who have taught me so much <a href="https://sadhanapeterson.com.au/page/about" target="_blank">(see my bio</a>),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it is Sandy who has been the mentor who </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has influenced me the most in my making practice.</div>

Unfortunately I had to miss a couple of days in the workshop this time<br />
due to a very special shared 90th birthday of my in-laws.<br />
These two people are a wonderful inspiration.<br />
They are kind and broad minded, wise and humble<br />
I am so fortunate to have them in my life.<br />
<br />
For these two beautiful human beings, I was happy<br />
to miss some of Sandy's workshop.<br />
<i><u>But only for them!</u></i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My aim has been to get everything off the work benches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The traditional containers for pottery tools is ceramic pots </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but in my modest sized studio I find that they take up far too much bench/work space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have been putting everything on the walls, in various ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Easy to find and access and students will get to know where to return them to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully it will be good for me too!</div>

I have also been mixing large quantities of glaze </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With 23- 24 students we are likely to need it.</div>

And..... I have been stocking up with clay.<br />
I am keen to give my students a chance<br />
to try a variety of clay this term.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I stocked up on Walkers white hand building clay<br />
while I was in Canberra<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjR2V-k0-5y4nYwQ39-S82M0qy_ClP5D3hlPpzeDlXkA-QK7G9BV8KTZfdFeBgd4ZKjzmPlq-hdPIwiWwGFLHxYw-IU_G3f5it569nf4InFGVqD7HZjZNnaJMekMN9AYOPvXFlfOYRkFP/s1600/IMG_0250.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjR2V-k0-5y4nYwQ39-S82M0qy_ClP5D3hlPpzeDlXkA-QK7G9BV8KTZfdFeBgd4ZKjzmPlq-hdPIwiWwGFLHxYw-IU_G3f5it569nf4InFGVqD7HZjZNnaJMekMN9AYOPvXFlfOYRkFP/s320/IMG_0250.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made a special trip to Keans in Gosford </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for some of their lovely clays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 tonne! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Just made it down the drive with only a bit of scraping)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is more Blackwattle, Feeneys and Clay Works clay </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
being delivered in early July.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
Down the track I hope to get a pug mill and a dough mixer<br />
but space and finances are not on my side at the moment<br />
so, for the time being, I have to buy packaged clay and recycle by hand.<br />
But that works fine for us for the moment.<br />
<br />
<br />
The lack of TAFE institutions that teach creative courses in Australia<br />
over the last few years has meant that there has been a huge increase<br />
in the demand for private studio classes.<br />
I love teaching from my own studio with my own style of teaching<br />
and seeing the creative work develop in such a variety of ways from my<br />
students, but there is only one of me.<br />
I recycle the clay, mix the glazes, fire the kiln, keep the tools<br />
renewed and sharp, wash the floors and keep everything up to<br />
OH and S standards.<br />
It is a big job.<br />
So I only teach 6 week terms and I have at least 6 weeks off<br />
between terms (depending on other life demands).<br />
Most of my students have been coming to classes for a few years.<br />
Almost daily I get email requests for classes but there is only one of me<br />
and my studio is not vast so I am limited in the numbers that I can take on.<br />
<br />
Here is the link for current classes<br />
<a href="https://sadhanapeterson.com.au/page/classes-contact" target="_blank">Lilli Pilli Classes</a><br />
<br />
My apologies to those eager clay practitioners<br />
who I have not been able to accommodate this time around<br />
I do keep you all on my waiting list but you could also contact<br />
<a href="http://www.robertlinigen.com/about.php" target="_blank">Robert Linigen</a> who is another great studio pottery teacher<br />
in the Blue Mountains.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week my beautiful new <a href="https://www.rohde-online.net/en" target="_blank">Rohde</a> electric kiln was delivered!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a heavy bundle at 500kg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The transportation has been a substantial task!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would advise anyone considering making such a purchase</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to sort out the delivery before ordering such a big, heavy, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
precious treasure just so that there are no surprises. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While the transport was costly it was well looked after and arrived without a blemish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Several people have also asked me, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"how difficult will replacement elements, thermocouple etc be to obtain?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps Paul Good from Interdec could leave a response</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to that question here for those who are interested?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This kiln has come all the way across the water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from the Rohde factory in Germany</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to <a href="https://interdec-australia.com.au/shop/rohde-kilns/rohde-els-n-series-front-load-kilns/" target="_blank">Interdec</a> in South Australia</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where <a href="https://www.facebook.com/interdec.australia" target="_blank">Paul Good </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
put it on a truck bound for NSW</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then <a href="http://www.wildmanscranes.com.au/" target="_blank">Wildman Cranes</a> delivered it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to me at Lilli Pilli Studio, Hazelbrook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kiln is better travelled than me!</div>

I had to get organised before it arrived </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as once in place this 500 kg beauty </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would not be easily moved so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been modifying shelves with wheels </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and making storage for kiln furniture so</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that it can be easily accessed when loading the kiln. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kiln has a pull out draw/floor </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that the kiln can be packed outside the chamber </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and slides in when fully packed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This will make loading a much easier process for my old back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am hopeful that it will be more efficient in energy usage too.</div>

I have named this kiln "Betty" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because it was given to me by my dear mother-in-law, Betty.</div>

I would never have been able to have such an amazing kiln without her generosity</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now every time I open a new firing I can say </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Thank you Betty"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope this "Betty" will be as strong, beautiful, efficient, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
generous and productive as the Betty who gave her to me.</div>

Harry kiln was taken to his new home at the start of April<br />
which ended up being only in the next suburb<br />

I managed to get my little mobile wood kiln, "Rocky",</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
firing with gas for the first time this month </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it is very efficient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a bisque fire </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I quickly discovered that<br />
this little guy is just a bit TOO enthusiastic<br />
to comfortably fire a safe bisque!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After watching the first load explode<br />
I ended up repacking and firing to 300˚ with the lid off.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you believe it got to 300˚<br />
in about 2 hours with the lid off ???!!!!<br />
(With the lid on it was about 20 minutes.)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping it open was the only way I could slow it down<br />
in order to stop things exploding.<br />
<br />
<b>(I won't be trying to bisque in this kiln in the future!)</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once it got to 300˚ I put the lid on<br />
and it was all done a couple of hours later.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look forward to doing some cone 10 reduction glaze firings in the near future</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and also some raku with my students. <br />
<b>It is a fabulous little raku kiln.</b></div>

<br />
After an immensely busy start to the year with family and travel<br />
I have been feeling the lack of time in my sacred creative space.<br />
It is great to now be settled back into studio work full of ideas.<br />

Then a little time at a wildlife park<br />
followed by a trampoline extravaganza<br />
for my eldest grand daughter<br />
who turned 7 !!!! this month.<br />
Mara and I took her out for a birthday treat while<br />
her family where busily moving house.<br />
<br />
Everything always happens at once!<br />

Then to the Blues Festival.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a very new experience for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tend to be a classical music person with a bit of world and jazz thrown in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the numbers of people and the huge sound from various tents </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
took a bit of time to acclimatise to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband and my daughter are musicians</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I am keen and love to do this kind of thing with them.</div>

At home at Lilli Pilli Studio my gorgeous Stanhopea orchid flowered </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It always feels so special when it flowers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as it fills the air with an intoxicatingly rich scent of chocolate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was one of my mums most precious plants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This orchid and also my Crinum Lilies always flower at this time of the year </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it marks the time for me when she went into hospital as a palliative care patient in 2007.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used to take her bunches of Crinum Lilies into the hospital, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at her request, from her garden.</div>

Mum told me I was to move the Crinum to my garden after they had flowered </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I was to re-pot the orchid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did as I was told.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when they flower in February each year I am filled with memories of her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However with her Asiatic Lily (below),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she advised me that it would never flower at my place</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so there was no point in me moving it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I was to give it to her neighbour, which I did.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;"> It was a long day of filming </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> followed by an evening flight home </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> and long and late train trip back up the mountains</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> but the sky was lovely</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"> No sooner had we returned than it was time </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> to make a trip to Canberra with my siblings </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> to see the 'Song Lines ' Exhibition at the National Museum</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /> We picked up my brother <a href="http://www.wildrocks.com.au/" target="_blank">Mike</a> who had come to Sydney from Perth, </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> my sister Karin from Wilcannia and my brother <a href="http://www.chrisdonaldson.com.au/" target="_blank">Chris </a>from Mittagong</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"> and headed for the ACT.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"> 'Song Lines' was wonderful though I didn't take a lot of photos</span><br />

I do love to bring home new work by potters I admire </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoy sharing these with with my students </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as all potters have different approaches, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
different designs and techniques</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I think it is good for students to see work </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that is different from their teachers work.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">January has been my big chance to get lots of "bread and butter" work made. </span><br />
It has been a delight to have spent much of this month in the studio focused on my own work.<br />
Due to a major kiln disruption at the end of last year classes have been postponed for 2018 until July<br />
when my new kiln should be up and running.<br />
( I am missing my students BIG TIME!)<br />
<br />
However, given the circumstance,<br />
I have had a chance to change my focus to making production ware<br />
rather than preparing for teaching and firing.<br />
This has its advantages.<br />
My days have been spent creating work to fill my on line store,<br />
making stock for my Open Studio which will happen much later in the year and<br />
making pieces for <a href="https://web.facebook.com/stationstreetstore/?_rdc=1&_rdr" target="_blank">Station Street Store</a> ( which is the only retail outlet that sells my work ).<br />
It is great to catch up on this aspect of my work.<br />
<br />

I always find it tricky to know which items I should concentrate on<br />
and which will be most in demand so I have been trying to cover a lot of ground<br />
in forms and various clay types.<br />
I have been pumping out mugs, cups, bowls, vases, all in a variety of sizes, colours and shapes.<br />
These always seem to be popular.<br />

I start back at uni, <a href="http://www.anu.edu.au/" target="_blank">ANU</a>, in February/March </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my focus will turn to more sculptural work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so best to get my functional work done and dusted </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ready for the next few months before I start back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I am not teaching I will try to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
knock over a good slab of study on my Masters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a good chance to use my time to practise practise practise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is always so much room for improvement </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to keep my skills up as both a maker and a teacher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that when I am teaching I focus on my students </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I am more concerned about looking after their work progress </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
than my own. So it is good to be able to give myself this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally started the process</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of getting my little Steve Harrison relocatable wood kiln</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to fire with gas as well as wood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank goodness Steve has been helping me with this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as I would have made some BIG mistakes without his guidance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Steve, I am so lucky to have you and Janine to talk to about such things.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">To finish off this post for January,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">here is my favourite insightful reading link for this month</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Is exhibiting important to you?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">The Art of being an Artist</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I am not working on an exhibition at the moment it is always on my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thought for the month....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not sure which famous artist said</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't worry about WHAT you are....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as describing yourself as a noun like</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I am a painter", "I am a potter", "I am a photographer" etc</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
will restrict your practice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead use a verb like</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I like to paint", </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I love making pots sometimes", </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I have an interest in photography" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This leaves all creative options and influences </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
open to you and your practice </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than being simply restricted to one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to think that being creative is expansive, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
evolving and active.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now a little inspirational clip to watch </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It has been a very full year with the usual variety of experiences.<br />
As it is the start of a new year it seems appropriate to take a look at the how the time passed for us over the last 12 months.<br />
<br />
January<br />

It has been a great thing to do in connection with my website and it has been quite well received.<br />
<br />
NB: There is not much available on there at present as I have not had a lot of time to replenish it with new work and photograph it since the middle of the year.<br />
But stay tuned as I will be rectifying this within a couple of weeks!<br />
Resolution number 1.<br />
<br />
I also did a figurative workshop with Cristina Cordova<br />
and I took one of my students, Kellie, along for the ride.<br />

February<br />

We went away for a few days to the place we were married.<br />
The environment remains rejuvenating and beautiful<br />
but we were disappointed with the tizzy renovations to what had been simple but quirky cabins<br />
and I am not sure how they felt about me working with clay on their pretty verandah.<br />

July<br />
We had the annual winter 'alternate firing workshops'<br />
during the term break at Lilli pilli Studio.<br />
A great time was had by all and lots of lovely pots came out too.<br />
<br />
It was great to welcome NAS grads and students to share in the weekend with us<br />
and also some of Valeria's extended family<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a HUGE year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has not been too bad for us </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is always the ups and downs, stresses and delights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is how life works isn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life, death, sadness, happiness all going on at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes there is too much of one but we have to take what comes our way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are lots of birthdays I haven't covered here </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and lots of other events and occasions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but that is always the way with a big life and a big family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so this is just a bit of a taste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that the festive season is done</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my focus has come back to cleaning up and reorganising the studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Due to the retirement of my kiln </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had to put a hold on classes for the first half of 2018</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So over the last few days I have been shaping my work space just for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will try to repair my old 'Harry Kiln' and sell it as a going concern during January/February</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will then use my Steve Harrison kiln with gas for my own work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and once a kiln that is big enough for teaching is installed I will start classes later in the year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will miss my teaching but it will be nice to focus on my own work for a while too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As it is New Years Day today </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will start the year off with a day of making in the studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year my resolution is to write a blog post at least once a month </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that I don't have such a huge post to do at the end of the year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy 2018 to you all</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let the work begin!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been an eternity since I last posted on my blog.<br />
Life has a way of slipping through my fingers....(pardon my muddy pun)<br />
2016 was very full with family and clay,teaching and learning.<br />
<br />
*I completed my Grad Cert in Ceramics and started my MA/Ceramics at ANU<br />
*We built a new chook shed ( Bwah hahaha foiled you Mr Fox!)<br />

....and we did some landscaping which should make Open Studio's more pleasant in the future.<br />
It has also created a nice space in the garden for the grand children to play.<br />
A new pit was made on the next terrace down...so pit firings and raku will happen down there.<br />
* I participated in several Sandy Lockwood workshops- because there is always more to learn!<br />
* My Classes at my home studio- Lilli Pilli Studio- have been going well.<br />
I only take a small number as my space is limited and there is only one of me to do all the jobs connected to it ....such as recycling clay, mixing glazes, packing kilns.....<br />
But we have a great time and everyone makes lovely work.<br />
My students inspire me.<br />
<br />
2017 looks like following suit!<br />
The garden is doing well.<br />

My Stanhopea orchid flowered this year<br />
with the perfume of rich dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla<br />
Got to be a good omen!<br />
There is always so much that needs to be done in the garden, the studio, the house and with the family....life doesn't stop!<br />
I am always wishing for more time to give to all the aspects of my life.<br />
<br />
I have opened an on-line shop with my ceramics available to purchase as a start to 2017<br />
So check here to see what it has to offer :)<br />
<a href="http://lillipillistudio.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">ON LINE CERAMICS SHOP</a><br />
It will be constantly added to as I make new work.<br />

I have only recently returned from a workshop with Christina Cordova which was pretty amazing really and totally out of left field for me in the style of work but I am fascinated!<br />

Classes here at Lilli Pilli Studio are near to full with only a space or two available on Saturdays<br />
check my website for class availability<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/%C2%A0http://sadhanapeterson.com.au/page/classes-contact" target="_blank">LILLI PILLI CLASSES</a><br />
I have adjusted my terms this year into 6 week terms with a four week break between terms so that I can get work made for both uni and the on-line shop during the break.<br />
A bit of garden and studio maintenance.<br />
I hope it will also allow me time to visit my children and grand children.<br />
If you are keen to join a class email me and I will let you know when a space becomes available.<br />
<br />
I am planning to once again participate in several Sandy Lockwood workshops<br />
this year at her studio in the Southern Highlands.<br />
<a href="http://www.sandylockwood.com.au/classes_and_workshops.htm">http://www.sandylockwood.com.au/classes_and_workshops.htm</a><br />
<br />
Hopefully I will hold a pit fire and raku workshop here at Lilli Pilli Studio during winter.<br />
Please message me if you are interested in participating in these.<br />
These are mostly for my current students but I can offer a few extra places.<br />
Spaces will be limited.<br />
<br />
HOT NEWS!!!!<br />
I am very excited to have ordered one of Steve Harrison's little mobile wood kilns<br />
and I am looking forward to experimenting with that over winter.<br />
<a href="http://www.hotnsticky.com.au/old.htm">http://www.hotnsticky.com.au/old.htm</a><br />
<br />
Work will continue on my MA but at a slow pace as my family and my students take first priority for me. I will be mostly working on sculpture for my uni work while my on-line shop is more focused on domestic ware.<br />
<br />
I will be part of an exhibition at Braemar gallery in April<br />
<a href="https://contextart.com.au/extra/daily-extracurricular-activities/">https://contextart.com.au/extra/daily-extracurricular-activities/</a><br />
<br />
"Open Studios" this year will be in August with the Australian Ceramics Association<br />
<a href="http://www.australianceramics.com/acos/">http://www.australianceramics.com/acos/</a><br />
Visitors will have a chance to try their hand at throwing and hand building at this Open Studio.<br />
<br />
This year I will also have an "Open Studio" at the start of December for Christmas<br />
but there will not be hands on clay for visitors at this one.<br />
It will be more about feasting the eyes and celebrating the festive season with some tasty Christmas treats. I will aim to have small and large pieces suitable for christmas gifts available to buy at this event.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well that's a good start for planning the year....lets see how it pans out.....<br />
I will also see if I can be a bit more consistent with my blog posts in 2017!<br />

It is winter here at the moment and that means it is time for cooking pots in wood firings, raku and pit fires. It has been particularly cold and wet in the Blue Mountains over the last couple of months but this weekend the kiln gods were with us and it was perfect weather for a pit fire.<br />
<br />
Many of my students have been making lots of beautiful burnished thrown and hand built pots to cook in the pit. It is a fun process but you never know what will come out.<br />
There are usually some casualties and some gems and lots of fun in the process.<br />
<br />
This year we had some extra special additions to our pit concoction.<br />
I sourced a lot of cow manure which I was able to dry out in time for our special weekend.<br />
My daughter inlaw collected lots of sea grass that had washed up in the river near her mums house.<br />
We had lots of coffee grounds and banana and mandarin peal which I dried.<br />
It is a pretty magic mixture that puts colour on to pots with the help of a bit of alchemy and fire.<br />
<br />

Yes I know it has been a year since I have posted ….so sorry…<br />
I have been so flat out that I have been barely able to keep up with myself!<br />
Here I am posting at that time of the year that means OPEN STUDIO is just around the corner.<br />
Please stop by if you are in the area on this weekend and I can show you just how busy I have been.<br />
Best wishes<br />

With the cold months here it is time to make the most of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the winter and cook pots with fire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we live in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where summer fires are a concern </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am extremely cautious about when it is safe to fire with wood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only work with fire between June and September </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I have to pack the time with lots of firings.</div>

It makes me think about my process </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and consider how, what and why I make things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
New teachers keep me excited about my work </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as a growing and living experience.</div>

I have had about 6 or 7 influential teachers in my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I work, I recall different asspects of their teaching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I strongly encourage my students and any creative person </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to keep learning from as many people that you come across</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who's art and aproach to making art you enjoy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be an eternal student I say, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not stuck on one teachers approach,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
don't just stick with one technique that you feel comfortable with,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take yourself out of your comfort zone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Go on regular creative adventures and challenge yourself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it will add depth to your process </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as you find new ways to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, that my idea of fun anyhow :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How sad would it be to feel that you had nothing more to learn?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That the learning had stopped!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No, there is so many wonderful makers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who have so much to share, enjoy! </div>

So now I will spend the next month </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on wood fired raku ware</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and another pit fire while the weather is chilly and moist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then another wood fire at Balmoral Pottery in August</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is much to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gems did emerge from the fires</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I am not going to show you these just yet </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I like to keep them a surprise for the exhibitions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come and visit my studio on the weekend of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
August 15th and 16th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when I will have an open day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with my new domestic ware</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some older work </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a seconds table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come and play with some clay </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and share a cuppa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then in October </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will have my favorite pieces on show</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at our 7th Family Exhibition</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have to say that the older I get the bigger life seems to become.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each year seems to be so full of excitement </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
both challenging and engaging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My adult life has been always full of children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I imagine this will be my story for as long as I am on the planet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a wonderful thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However that is not my only story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Art has been the story of my life from the moment I was born.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mum, an artist and primarily a painter, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lived and breathed art and so did my 17 year old sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes my life gets so full of children and family events</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that it is hard to find time to make art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes my life is so full of art </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that it is hard to find time for children and family occasions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both ART and FAMILY insist on attention</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I HAVE to divide my time fairly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am glad about that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It keeps me whole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It keeps my heart warm and my spirit strong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But sometimes when I feel a little pushed for time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or I have a slight wobble in my self esteem </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to pause and reflect </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on how happy I am that my life has the shape it has.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am now in the second year of my part time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grad Cert Visual Art/ Ceramics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since January I have been working on a unit of work </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
called 'Designing and making for the Domestic'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems an appropriate unit for me to be focused on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amongst other things, I have been making </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cups and saucers and mugs and saucers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made quite a few!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been a great process.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am inspired to make and make and make……</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(in amongst the rest of family life.)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also been teaching beginners pottery classes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in my little</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lilli Pilli Studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do love my classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have delightful students….so much so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I haven't been looking for more people to fill the class </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because the class dynamic is so enjoyable as it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am such a bad business woman,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if I was clever I would only run full classes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and everything would be run like clockwork, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the joy of creative pursuits </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is difficult to team up with good business in my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we just have a great time making and creating….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I manage to keep it all ticking over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I don't make what anyone could ever call a living. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been a bit mind bending to embrace </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sharing my studio with 5 other adult creatives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always been a bit secretive of my work process</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and now it is watched and questioned all the way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will have to hide my exhibition work,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at least in the final stages,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that they can look at them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with fresh eyes when they are in a gallery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year is my family exhibition year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My siblings and I have been exhibiting together every 3 years </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the past 17 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year it will be in Bowral in October</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(we always have it in October)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That means that it is an extra busy year for me this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year I started having an annual Open Studio </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in co-ordination with the Australian Ceramics Association</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This event sees all its members across Australia opening their studios </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the public to raise awareness of local pottery production and classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is called the Australian Ceramics Open Studios ( ACOS )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a great event to be part of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to make these two exhibitions unique from each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For ACOS I will have my 'Domestic Ware' for sale </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and a few sculptural pieces for the garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will do demonstrations and have clay available for people to play with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will have my hand made paper for sale and perhaps a "seconds" table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A display of my students work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day is about community.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mark your calendar for the weekend of 15th and 16th August</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
come and visit , have a chat and share some tea/coffee and cake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our family exhibition will be quite a different selection of my work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will show my raku, pit fire, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wood fired work and larger vessels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some basketry and mixed media Incorporated with my ceramics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stitched work and drawings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister, Karin, will have some ceramics too, along </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with her paintings, prints, pastels and mixed media sculpture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother, Chris, has been travelling with his wife, Anne,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to exotic and fascinating places and he has so much</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to share in his Silver Gelatin and digital photography.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother, Mike will have extraordinary photos </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the Kimberley region to accompany his fabulous books on rock art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These exhibitions have been a great bonding experience for us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They combine family and art in a very positive and heart felt way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We look forward to sharing that with you in October.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is only May and I already feel like I have done enough for 2 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apart from working on my uni work and teaching</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went to Perth for a weekend in March for my brothers 70th</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a lovely time, though very short,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
eating oysters and enjoying family connections</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am looking forward to doing some exciting workshops over the next few months<br />
that will help me to keep exploring my love of clay.<br />
<br />
It is very easy, after working as an artist for many years,<br />
to consider that your time as a student is over.<br />
<br />
However I hope that I will keep learning until the day I die.<br />
<br />
Everyone has a unique way of being an artist<br />
and I find it so exciting to try new ways of making.<br />
<br />
It is for this reason that I am currently a studio based Distance Ed student<br />
in my second year of a Grad Cert/Visual Arts/Ceramics at ANU<br />
which I plan to follow with a Masters in Ceramics.<br />
I am loving it!<br />
<br />
The only trouble is that when my semester stops,<br />
I don't want to stop!<br />
<br />
So I am filling the spaces between my ANU study<br />
with workshops with ceramists that I adore.<br />
In particular, this year, Sandy Lockwood.<br />
<br />
<br />
In May I plan to do her Tea Pot workshop.<br />
<br />

When I heard in mid Febuary that my friend and mentor,Toni Smith,<br />
had died I just couldn't process it.<br />
Maybe it was a prank message?<br />
I had not been told any funeral details.<br />
No suggestion of illness.<br />
I was holding on to a hope that it wasn't true.<br />
We had been keeping in contact but only via mail, email and Facebook.<br />
It was one of those friendships that asked no restraints of visits or attention.<br />
Months or years could pass and it would feel like no time had passed at all<br />
and there was not the slightest waver in fondness and understanding for one another.<br />
How could she just not be there anymore?<br />
It was only when I realised her Facebook profile had gone that I started to really believe it.<br />
Finding her obituary was the final confirmation.<br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Toni taught me to make plant fibre paper.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">But we had many cross overs of interest.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I had gone to high school with her dear son </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">who was the person who had sent me the notification.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Thankyou so much Martin you must be missing her so much.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">We had lived in the same area many years ago </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">and Toni had also been a potter but it took going out to Orange to her paper making workshop for us to meet and make the connections.</span><br />

The last few years I have had to farewell<br />
most of the strong artistic female mentors in my life.<br />
I miss them all.<br />
I thank them all.<br />

I don't deny that it is great to branch out and meet fellow artists from other countries.<br />
It is also great to be part of an international show.<br />
However the red tape and Hoo Ha that goes with freighting and customs agents leaves a lot to be desired and is nothing short of teeth grinding frustration for the most part.<br />
<br />
My<a href="http://sadhanapeterson.com.au/e/forbidden-fruits-red-yellow-blue" target="_blank"> "Forbidden Fruits-Red Yellow Blue"</a><br />
went to New Zealand in 2013 for the <a href="http://worldofwearableart.com/" target="_blank">World of Wearable Art Show (WOW)</a><br />
It stayed on for most of the year that followed and came back just before Christmas 2014.<br />
On opening the box I found that only 2 of the three garments were there.<br />
It took some time for the third Yellow piece to be located,<br />
it was somewhere in Auckland as I understand,<br />
and finally it found it's way home to it's maker today.<br />
But OH MY! What a process to pick it up!<br />
I chose to drive the two hours to Sydney to get it as delivery was quoted as $295 to my home!!!!!!!<br />
Yes, one small box that I could pick it up with one hand.<br />
Only about 1/2 a meter square.<br />
It contained only paper and silk.<br />
It be transported from Sydney to the Blue Mountains - $295!<br />
<br />
What I hadn't been told was that to pick it up I needed to have closed shoes and a fluro safety vest.<br />
You know the kind that every one puts on when they go to the shop?<br />
Why would I need to be told that?<br />
As it happens I always wear closed shoes but today I thought I would wear the walking sandals that I bought two days ago on special from 'sumit gear' an outdoor and bush walking gear shop….<br />
the first sandals I have had in about ten year and the first time I had worn them!<br />
Sturdy and sensible outdoor walking shoes.<br />
Of course!<br />
Well the guy at the boom gate told me to come back tomorrow with better attire.<br />
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
I am nursing a very unhappy and painful hip and knee at present and the trip to the city is nothing short of eye watering with short out burst of screeches and groans so the thought of making the 2 hour return to the mountains without the costume only to have to do it all again tomorrow was horrific!<br />
<br />
I asked why one of the forklifts that were buzzing about on the other side of the boom gate couldn't just bring my little box down to the gate?<br />
I could see the box only 10 meters away.<br />
He said call this number and ask the office.<br />
So I tried but my phone had decided not to work, totally dead,<br />
and no obvious reason why it had gone into a comber so I couldn't call the office.<br />
I kept trying for an hour…then two hours...<br />
But it wouldn't work I couldn't make any calls.<br />
So the boom gate guy toddled on down to me and said in his broad Italian accent<br />
"go buy some shoes lady,at the shop it's not so far and buy a vest from me. It will be better for you."<br />
I had no idea where to look in Matraville for shopping centres I couldn't even google shops as my phone wasn't working!<br />
AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!<br />
<br />
So I went looking for shops to buy shoes for this complete circus of a freighting company.<br />
After much searching with no luck I found an op shop with shoes<br />
that matched the clown persona I had to become in this circus situation.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I bought his safety vest.<br />
Walked through the boom gate.<br />
Into the office….no machinery…no vehicles….nothing that my walking shoes couldn't have coped with.<br />
They stamped the paper.<br />
I drove my car to the other side of the boom gate and the fork lift put the very light small box in the car.<br />
<br />
So it took all day….I have my costume….but will I do it again?<br />

<br />
<br />
I probably will…..but not just now…….<br />
and perhaps I will use the post rather than freight in the future.<br />

The things we do for art!<br />

as though enough has happened to fill a year!<br />
<br />
My mind has been pondering on how to get my gas kiln working.<br />
A friend who came to stay at the end of last year<br />
told me about a very clever bit of magic/science to use<br />
for cleaning my gas burners.<br />
Here is the tip.<br />
Create a vat with<br />
1 part molasses<br />
2 parts water<br />
leave rusty item in the vat for a few days and all the rust lifts off.<br />
OH JOY!!!!<br />
I didn't have to sit with sand paper or consider developing my skills as a sandblaster ????<br />
And it would come out shiny and new????<br />
While I went about all the other things I needed to do????!!!!<br />
<br />
MAGIC!<br />
<br />
Thank you Barry Voorwinden you are awesome!<br />
So I made the mixture and put the bits in the vat.<br />
<br />
Here is a beautiful running picture diary<br />
of the rust lifting onto the surface of the solution.<br />

I returned last week from a week at ANU where I was participating<br />
in a masterclass with Greg Daly on domestic ware.<br />
I get frustrated by the work I create while away….<br />

I returned home with lots of clay and<br />
I have started this years beginners classes at Lilli Pilli Studio<br />
and I have a beautiful group of people to share my love of clay with.<br />
<br />
<br />
Last weekend I attended a memorial service with my siblings<br />
for our dear family friend, <a href="http://www.chrisdonaldson.com.au/galleries/portraits/may_barrie_at_home" target="_blank">May Barrie (sculptor)</a>,<br />
who died aged 96, just before Christmas 2014.<br />
The Barrie /Voorwinden family have always been<br />
like a branch of our family.<br />
My mum,Tattwam, met May at<br />
National Art School (East Sydney Tech) in the 40's<br />
and they remained close until mum died.<br />
May has been a huge creative influence for me and all of<br />
my siblings, as we spent many childhood times on the farm.<br />
<br />
Let me share a glimpse of the day and her environment with you.<br />
Her living space was as much a piece of her sculpture<br />
as the rest of her impressive sculptural works.<br />

the years blur together.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is that time of the year when I like to look back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at what has gone by over the last year </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that I can grip the reins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a safe ride through the coming year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that taking stock of life's roller coaster </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
helps me to accept and appreciate my very full life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This time last year we enjoyed a south coast holiday on the beach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had the pleasure of an evening walk with a double rainbow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Michael and I don't get a lot of down time together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when we do have a holiday it is cherished.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2014 was a year full of highs and lows</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as seems to be the case more and more in our lives </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as we get older and the family grows…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( our aspirations don't seen to lessen either!)</div>

At the end of January I started a distance education </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grad Cert Ceramics at ANU.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Starting with a Master Class in Glaze development with Greg Daly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and learning from such a master.</div>

Little did I know that it would be the last time I would see her<br />
I miss her so much but I am so grateful to have had her friendship<br />
and influence in my life.<br />
Here are some pics of her house taken by my brother last year.<br />
The exhibition was a great thing to do but I think her collection<br />
looked best in situ and particularly in her house at<br />
Wahroongah (not shown here).<br />

I brought home a John Parker treasure (below)<br />
He was over from NZ doing a residency at ANU<br />
and it was a great treat to watch him create his<br />
beautifully textured pots.<br />
We had a shared theatrical connection too<br />
which I don't find happens too often,<br />
not many potters are thespians,<br />
we tend to be a quiet lot,<br />
but John works as a set builder and has a<br />
WOW connection too so we had much to chat<br />
about as we threw mud.<br />

On the day of my first Open Studio I heard that my teacher,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
friend and mentor Margaret Tuckson had died.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last time I had seen her I told her </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that my goal was to be like her and teach from my studio </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was asked on several occations if I would teach on that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I am now teaching here at Lilli Pilli Studio!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only beginners classes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Margaret only taught beginners too and then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she would suggest as they became more proficient </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and serious that they should do some further training elsewhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is what I will do here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This year we not only lost Margaret Tuckson, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we also said farewell to Michael's Uncle Ian, 91</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to old family friend, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
May Barrie who passed away at 96</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and dear friend Caitlin Whiticker/ Wilkinson </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who died too young at 18.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It has been, as I said, a year of highs and lows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to try to focus on all the joys </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I move into the next year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will remember the good times </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had with those who have gone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and try to enjoy to the full </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my time with those who are still here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little courage may be needed to cope with the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
political short sightedness of our countries leaders, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the natural disasters, the loss of dear ones, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
life struggles </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my ageing body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All that being so, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is much to be thankful for and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try to look at the positives </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in an attempt to ward off the negatives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep my life simple and my heart warm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am sure it will be another eventful year full of highs and lows </div>

In fact I think I am on the start of a very exciting new journey.<br />
<br />
It was brought to my attention that <a href="http://australianceramics.com/home/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=144%3Athe-whole-man-the-life-and-work-of-peter-rushforth-&catid=8%3Aweb-feature-articles" target="_blank">Peter Rushforth</a>'s<br />
big old gas kiln was needing a new home.<br />
<br />
I have wanted a gas kiln for ever!<br />
<br />
I chose to put an electric kiln into my studio when it was built<br />
as my studio sits close to the fence line and to our neighbours house<br />
so I didn't want to be making smoke that would be encroaching on their lives.<br />
However having any sort of kiln in the studio was a bit of a mistake<br />
and it really should have had a shed of its own elsewhere.<br />
Never mind, it is a great kiln and I am very glad I have it.<br />
<br />
BUT….. a BIG GAS KILN has been a dream that I thought<br />
I would never be able to make come true.<br />
<br />
Not really thinking that anything would come of it<br />
I contacted the Rushforth family<br />
and arranged to go and have a look.<br />
There is no harm in having a look, is there?<br />
I suspected that it would be very difficult to move if not impossible<br />
I also understood that it was very old and well used which would,<br />
potentially, make its moving to my studio which is situated<br />
down a narrow sloping driveway, most impractical.<br />
<br />
Here is what I found.<br />
<br />

<br />
A big one like this.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">and a smaller one like this.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both were looking as though they had worked </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
very hard for their productive master.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peter insisted on taking me himself </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to have a look at them so that he could tell me about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He said the big one is the best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Steve Harrison built it, he will tell you about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But you can't move it. It is too big."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However the new owners were </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
keen for the kilns to be removed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two kilns were located </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a little shed made of stone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and recycled lead light windows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The roof rafters were lower than the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
big kiln which sat between them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This shed looked as though it had </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
been built around the kilns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The smaller one would have to be moved </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in order to get to the bigger one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This move looked near impossible!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed Peter may be right, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
too big and awkward to move .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by calling a removalist </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who I had used many times before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He said he had moved several kilns before </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and felt confident that he could do it and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he would charge me the same to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
move two kilns as for one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unsure on how sensible it really was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to move either or both of these old kilns,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I called on the thoughts of various friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Asking, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'was this madness trying to persevere</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a relocation?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Was it worth the effort for a very old kiln?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would it be very costly to get it working again?'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The opinions were equally for and against.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I asked the removalist to come </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have a look in person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If he couldn't do it then</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it would be decided for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He said,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Sorry, this would need a crane. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two of us can move a grand piano </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but we can't even move this a centimetre"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We agreed that the roof of the shed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would need to be removed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in order to lift the kiln out with a crane.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was looking grim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went home and picked up a phone book </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to see if I could find a crane service in the Blue Mountains</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt sure that the quote would </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
be so huge that it would be ridiculous to go ahead with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But before I could open the book </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the caretaker of the Rushforth property, <a href="http://www.galeriaaniela.com.au/Phillip-Hay.htm" target="_blank">Phillip Hay</a>, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
called me to say that a rigger friend had just come around </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and he thought he may be able to organise it for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OH MY! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed to have found it's own momentum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kiln seemed to have decided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that it was going to be mine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Excitement and terror took hold of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I spoke to Mick, the rigger, who had started </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dismantling the roof as we spoke.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He gave me numbers for crane people </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who he had worked for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked the crane guys to come and check out our driveway </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which I thought may also decide that it was not possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when he arrived with his ginormous crane he said, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"aw yeah, we could do that ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just trim off these branches and she'll be right."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was all happening!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I collected all the kiln paraphernalia</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
loading my car to brim full and HEAVY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cleaned out the kiln a little and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that was when I started to have that feeling </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I really was VERY excited </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that this old gal was coming to stay with me.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Phillip Hay built a fine wooden structure</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inside the kiln to keep it secure in its travel…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for which I can not say thank you enough.</div>

The roof was removed and ready for the crane<br />

<br />
The smaller kiln had fallen to pieces when<br />
moved and was taken to the tip.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our next job was to make a spot </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(a granny flat)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for this big ol' gal to be put to bed </div>

in 'Lilli Pilli Studio'.</div>

and pavers<br />
<br />
(We are not the best at this kind of thing.)<br />
<br />
All in two days!<br />
Exhausted but proud of ourselves<br />
Not perfect but it was looking OK.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today the crane arrived<br />
<br />

<br />
The truck couldn't fit down our driveway<br />
so the crane had to carry it down slowly<br />
and gently swinging it under our trees.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be a little while before she is working</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will need to save up for a roof, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
clean up the burners</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then get the gas connected.</div>

It all takes time and money</div>

to get projects like these completed.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the western society that I live in there is generally a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">constant need in people to have what others have, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">even if it is not needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bigger house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A better car.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A trip overseas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The advertising agencies latch on to this element of desire </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and work at</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> increasing peoples lust for things, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">making them believe that life would be better with more stuff</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">perhaps even unthinkable to be without it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I try to stay mindful of this mind set, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">although I have caught myself getting hooked into it at times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mostly I just long for the simple life…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">making art, gardening and enjoying grand children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago Peter Rushforths property went on the market.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-blackheath-117870503">http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-blackheath-117870503</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I adore this man/potter , his wife and their life style .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first thought was how sad that he had been forced to move from </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">his little haven and how I wished I had been to visit him more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then the thought of who would buy this very special place </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and would they appreiciate what it was and had been?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A passion to contemplate moveing swept over me, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">driven by a desire to absorb </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the wonders of the peaceful </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and artistic life he had made for himself in the upper mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OH WOW! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think of the kilns and the studio and the gallery space!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I NEED TO GO AND LOOK AT IT!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was great to go and pay homage to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this place of deep creativity and the simple life of a master craftsman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I said my farewells to what it had been for so many years </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but I also knew that it was not my place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I put my desires away and embraced my own life again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking around I reminded myself </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of my mums ashes are under a magnolia </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">that flowered for the first time this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The orchids from her garden are starting to look like </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">they are at home and would never grow further up the mountains.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My dads ashes under the roses need my attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here my husband can walk to work,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the kids can easily catch the train home</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and my grandchildren love to play at our house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am happy here and I plan to enjoy my own green grass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(…..but a wood fired kiln does still lurk in my secret desire pocket….)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems to me that we can't be the people we admire. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it is best to rejoice in having known them,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">be inspired by them, then get on with being ourselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the same sence when my mum died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She had spent so many hours in her garden </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">it was her life and it was so hard to sell it </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to someone who may </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">just pull it all up and put down a lawn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Which they did!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then I realised that a home is a very individual environment </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and it grows into the shape of its owner, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">somewhat </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">like a pot shows the marks of its maker. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The process of making that space is the important thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TheTHING itself is just the outcome </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and will change with who ever lives there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I have planted another cherry tree </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and continue to plan for a wood kiln.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> It has been an eventful few weeks since my last post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> Spring is here and the garden is starting to bloom although </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> the rain has been relentless and the garden is saturated </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> and leaks that we thought had been repaired have been </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> revealed and repaired again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">Not much of my personal work has happened in the studio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> We were a bit run down </span><span style="text-align: center;">after all the </span>excitement </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
of the open studio in mid August so it was not surprising</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> to find ourselves down with </span><span style="text-align: center;">bad colds and therefore</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> unable to do much other than socialise with blankets, tissues</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> and hot lemon drinks for a couple of weeks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> We are more or less back in gear now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> I have started teaching beginners pottery classes, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> here at Lilli Pilli Studio, two days a week </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> which I am </span>thoroughly enjoying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a squeeze to fit students and their work into </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
my little studio, so I am only taking two per class. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is very nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though a bit of a work in progress trying to </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
work out how to share my creative space with other </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
creative people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have submitted a large bottle into </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the Port Hacking Potters 48th National Competition</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
and Exhibition which will run from </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
20th September -1st October </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

hard work and organisation.<br />
With the Australian Ceramics Open Studio<br />
on the horizon, I have been in a machine like state<br />
cleaning up, making and planning.<br />
I am guilty of never feeling ready for such an event<br />
and I never feel as though my work is good enough.<br />
<br />
I decided to move my textiles down to a room in the house<br />
which has proved to be a far more functional place for sewing.<br />
The kiln was sending my needles and pins rusty<br />
and I simply needed more space for pottery making.<br />
<br />
The move allowed space in the studio as a<br />
temporary show room for displaying my work<br />
in my first ever 'Open Studio'.<br />
The garden also received a face lift.<br />
<br />
Last weekend it all happened<br />
We had around 100 visitors to 'Lilli Pilli Studio'<br />
and I had close to a sell out of work and the rain ….<br />
well it kind of held off during the day<br />
then it was wet on Saturday evening<br />
and a drizzle on the Sunday<br />
<br />
Thank you to all who came.<br />
It was lovely to catch up with old and new friends<br />
from the many walks of life I have had over the years.<br />
Performance friends, textile friends, neighbours,<br />

It was a great boon to have her professional<br />

Then to be able to share the Blue Mountains Community<br />

It was not only my work on show.<br />
I had hung my some of my brother Chris's photos in the studio.<br />
Karin also had some of her work on display<br />
and we had the book that she and the Western Heritage Group<br />
have just had published for sale, '<a href="http://www.gleebooks.com.au/australian-and-aboriginal-studies/aboriginal-studies/yamakarra-lisa-kennedy-amp-the-keewong-mob" target="_blank">Yamakarra</a>'.<br />

My 2 year old grand daughter Lillie </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
helped me to set up the "CLAY PLAY" table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for aspiring creators.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here,visitors were invited to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
get their hands into the mud</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and see what they could make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
either hand building or throwing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If they made something they loved</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would fire it (for a small fee).</div>

<br />
To my surprise there was quite a few requests for classes<br />
over the weekend and so, with some of the proceeds<br />
from selling my work, I have purchased a new wheel<br />
and I am getting another old one serviced and repaired.<br />
That will give me three wheels in the studio.<br />
<br />
I have started beginners pottery classes<br />
on Monday and Wednesday mornings.<br />
<br />
I don't have I lot of space in my little studio for students.<br />
It is a castle for me but the space is limited when more<br />
people are sharing it creatively, three students per class is my limit.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was utterly exhausted on the Monday<br />
when I received the sad news that my<br />
mentor /friend /2nd mum , Margaret Tuckson,<br />
had passed away on the Saturday.<br />
I wept buckets of tears.<br />
<br />
I had seen her earlier in the year at an exhibition<br />
she had had of <a href="http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/north-shore/margaret-tuckson-shares-her-collection-by-australias-greatest-artists-including-tony-tuckson-peter-rushforth-robert-klippel-and-reg-mombasa/story-fngr8h9d-1226867606356" target="_blank">her art collection.</a><br />
The exhibition was good but I loved it in her house much more.<br />
My parting words to her were<br />
"I will come and visit soon"<br />
but life got the better of me,<br />
as is often the way with my busy family life,<br />
and I didn't see her.<br />
I miss her already .<br />
Below are some of the photos my brother,<br />
Chris Donaldson,<br />
took of her in her house at the end of last year<br />
when I took him to visit her.<br />
<br />

On that visit, Margarets' dear friend,<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwyn_Hanssen_Pigott" target="_blank"> Gwyn Hanssen Pigot</a>t,<br />
had just died and we drank tea from her mugs and<br />
talked about what an amazing potter she had been.<br />
I can't believe I won't be able to call in on her anymore.<br />

There is one of my raku pots on her dresser.<br />
She bought at our last exhibition.<br />
She was so supportive of our shows<br />
she came three times to the 2012 one<br />
and it was not easy for her to get around at 90!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People ask me what influences my ceramics </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I have to say that Margaret's New Guinea pot and art collection </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had a profound effect on me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was writing her book and collecting pots </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the time that I was her student.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with her at 15 and then left school at 16 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to do more classes with her and I continued until I was 18.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was HUGE in my life </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
though I don't think she ever realised it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
I had told Margaret that my dream was to be like her.<br />
To teach and inspire people from my home studio<br />
just as she had done for me when I was a teenager.<br />
She informed my attitude to art and life.<br />
<br />
As the request for classes came on the same day<br />
as Margaret's passing,<br />
I feel it is time for me to embrace teaching once again.<br />
I can only dream of being like Margaret<br />
but even if my classes are small it will be great to<br />
share the love of clay.<br />
<br />
