Making videos for you tube

It is interesting to see in slow motion ones movements and the reaction to and from the clay … it is alive as I am …communication…

At the moment I am really concentrating on larger works .., but I can’t abide empty spaces in kilns ..I just can’t help making pieces to go under large pieces ..,and guinomi are some of my favourite things to make …

Since starting this homepage it has become a making diary of sorts ..and a reference for works to be shown at exhibitions .

The 2 exhibitions that I am making now are for The Milford Galleries in Queenstown and the Stratford gallery in the Uk ..

There is always a balance in making

Ceramics is a balance between madness and science..one has to be able to experiment yet stay in control . Not blow up the lab to speak . Many days and nights are spread between throwing . Turning . Decoration. Glazing . Firing. Cleaning . Thinking . Researching and avoiding the above whilst trying to do one of the above . As the pot is waiting …drying what can one do in the between … my life is lived on a balancing scale … I think this is why I work so long hours …now I have videos to make …life is interesting in this mad lab …
