![]() Keeping up the creative flow... Well, it's been another big week in EFS Studios, is there any other kind! We have both been very busy keeping up with our creating, making more and more art - this makes us happy! Cass has been continuing her spirit figures and dogs - and has been busy this week decorating each one - as you can see, this is her pictured left, busily painting one of her puppies with blue underglaze, with some of the already decorated spirit figures behind. There's some great things happening with her works and it's exciting to see each piece come alive with her signature 'story telling' designs being painted on each one. She has been using a combination of textural surface treatments, oxides, ochres and underglazes to acheive the desired results. They are still to undergo the final firing process, so will be interesting to see the finished pieces after firing. I have also been busily decorating bisqued pieces getting them ready for their second firing. As well as pouring loads of little cups and a few caravans too. ![]() Walking in Country The other project I have been busy working on is a creative collaboration project with my Son, inspired by the project Cass and he did together last year, Yurgiyn Dahnswena (see previous blog about this), we decided to undertake a further project with him this year. He and I have been taking daily walks together around our bush property and then recording what we see and experience. Then we spend some time, usually weekly/fortnightly interpreting these walks into artworks. It's a fun process and great to see such interesting concepts and interpretations coming from a 4 year old. Exciting and rewarding. It is intended that then these artworks will be then used to create some further ceramic works with a planned exhibition and accompanying book. Stay tuned for more exciting details about this thrilling and inspiring project... and how you can be involved! ![]() Other things... I have also been working on a creating a website for a new client, Sea Silks Gallery. They are a collective of artists opening a new gallery in the Ramada Hotel complex in Ballina, the Grand Opening is today if anyone is nearby, it should be a great day - check out their brand new website, created by me - seasilksgallery.com Sunday Ceramics.... Don't forget to check in with the other studios on Sunday Ceramics Next week we hope to fire another kiln load so stay tuned for some more images of finished works so until next time.... keep creating!
