Photography

I'm teaching photography again next term I have joined Flickr and posted some shots. Here are a few recent images. A bit random I guess.

August arts

I showed my powerpoint at Wyndham Cultural Centre on the 5th. I showed mainly pots but also some of my paintings. I'm putting a couple up here. I hope I get a comment or two soon . The first one is called "Collected Thoughts" Its about 500cm x 800cm and is in oils. The others are larger about 1200cm x900cm and are in oils but some of the large areas of colour are handmade oils using ochre, iron oxide, manganese dioxide and chromium oxide. They are oxides I use in ceramics so i blended them with oil painting mediums and ground them in a morter to produce my own earth colours. i hope you like them.I know I get a few hits but no comments at all so I'm loosing interest in the blog a bit. Any sort of feedback would be nice.

Preparing my Presentation for Wyndham August Arts

I took digitals of these old colour and B/W photographs from around 1982 to add to a powerpoint presentation I'm getting ready for August Arts. It makes me realise how much I did back then that I have no record of.

This must have been around 1987

This turned up on the internet recently. That's me on the left when I was HOD at Monash Uni. One of the students being presented an award. Jenny Zimmer the Dean of Art at the time is on the right. I had a bit more hair back then.

Wyndham Shire August Arts Festival

I will giving a presentation about my work in Ceramics at the Wyndham Cultural Centre on Aug. 5 at 7:00pm . Pots from 1978 up to the present. Basically a powerpoint slideshow but I will be taking along some recient pieces as well. Hope I see you there.

Eastern Spine Bill

Throwing June 9th
I've been trying to get a shot of this eastern spine bill who hangs around our garden for a while. It's through a dirty window so I guess it came out OK.
















These two pedestal vases are a new design, thrown in two pieces.





















I'm all out of spherical pots so I'm stocking up.

Latest Firing June 4 2010

My latest firing came out this morning. Everything looks pretty good.
Considering that in my last firing the red glaze on a large platter on the top shelf litterally fell off and dripped all over the pots below it. So this is a new red. It doesn't fall off! Click on this web album cover to see some of the other pots in the firing.
