Have been working on a little collection made out

Have been working on a little collection made out of this lovely high speckled clay. These pieces were made for @botanicalps in Bright. The collection includes lots of small treasures in a warm clay colour with plenty of floral shapes that will inspire you during the cooler months, yes it is time for getting your home cozy again as the season is changing.

Studs, studs, studs!
This month I have made lots of earrings and lots of studs!. These little things are fun to make but trust me , they really put under pressure my eyesight and my fine motor skills 🤭, each one is hand painted.

They will be available during April at a few markets.

What a session! Today I had delivered a sgraffito

What a session!

Today I had delivered a sgraffito workshop @thepumphousealbury I am so happy we managed to pull this technique in what it usually takes me 24 hrs to do. We completed some beautiful pieces in 2,5 hours with a lot of planning behind. And this time I managed to take pictures!.

First of all, thanks to all the attendees for joining and managing to make beautiful pieces in the time given. I loved seeing your designs. Keep exploring this media and the technique because the sky is the limit.

Thanks to the Pumphouse Albury for giving me the chance to deliver two workshops in your beautiful space, meeting lovely people and having time to unwind our minds. Albury, you should be very proud to have this in your community, keep supporting this space 👍👍.

If you missed this session, I'll be delivering another one in my studio in May.

I Hope seeing you then!

I have been stocking up on some lovely new pieces

I have been stocking up on some lovely new pieces like the new butter dishes for the Monsalvat autumn fair. This is an event that welcomed a number of potters after the cancellation of the @thepotteryexpo which was cancelled due to a fire ban.
I am pretty excited about this event, the venue looks amazing amongst the autumn colours.

It will be held on April the 6th at the orchard @montsalvatartscentre

I hope you can make it if you are near Melbourne.

A little while ago I acquired some lovely decals to play around with jewelry.
I got myself in an addictive moment of laying designs and peeling. Ceramic decals are so much fun. These ones are from @japan_crafts.

These lovely pieces are made of porcelain and they look super nice. I love illustration as you already know, so anything I can get my hands on with fun designs....that's my thing!.

I added a fun workshop where we will utilize ceramic decals, so make sure you check it out! I would love to share this knowledge with you 😊.

Doing that thing that I love the most.
I could spend my entire day drawing, painting and carving.

For a while I have been using @chrysanthoscolor underglazes. I really love them, they have great coverage and they come in a great range of colours. Here I am using black cobalt and citrus yellow.

Announcement number 3: Well I have kept this big

Announcement number 3:

Well I have kept this big news for a while now and I am ready to spill it to you 😀.

Mid last year I had the amazing opportunity to work in a collaboration with the Australian publisher Hinkler Books. Together we created this fun pottery kit which was launched in early February 2025. Now this pottery kit is available Australia wide at big retailers and online.
I would have never thought I was going to be part of such a learning experience, I can tell you I was terrified, in disbelief, excited, and in total gratitude for such an opportunity.
Having to produce this kit under a deadline, photography, editing and the entire publishing process was something I have never done before, but I also had a very supportive group of people on the other side.

I am still in disbelief that this project is out in the wide world.
If you come across this kit please tag me, I would love to know how you go making these 4 fun projects!.

@hinkler_global thank you!!

Workshops!!

I have a couple of workshop sessions coming up at The Pumphouse Albury, NSW.

The hand building one is booked out, and the sgraffito session may have one or two spots left 😱.

If you missed out on these workshops, I have some sessions coming up at Alma Terra Pottery studio in Myrtleford, Vic. I'll be teaching a few projects and of course there are limited spots.

Come and join me for a creative session, don't be shy, everyone is welcome and we have a really good time when creating (a good laugh or a few....)

Still thinking about it??.

Thank you!

I had to take a couple of days off after the @mansfield_pottery_festival . I would like to thank that beautiful bunch of people behind the scenes of such a beautiful event, it always feels effortless to be at the festival.
Everyone is so welcoming 🫶.
We had such a great turnout on Saturday and we received so many compliments about our work as ceramics artists. Every single stall showcased beautiful handmade ceramics in different styles. Clay is a media that presents so many possibilities.

Yesterday I started making more earrings and replenishing my stock, always a nice problem to have 😅.

Should I? First world problem here…. should I t

Should I?

First world problem here.... should I take these bowls to the @mansfield_pottery_festival ?

I am starting to select the pieces I'll take on Saturday, but there is always the dilemma of what to take. Should I take these???

Butter dishes. I love when they are finished and

Butter dishes.

I love when they are finished and they survive the whole process, but they are one of the hardest pieces to make. If something doesn't come out right it is enough to ruin my week.

I have to be very patient with these ones and I only make a handful at a time. It is like they know if I rush the process or I am not careful enough to look at the details they will misbehave 🥴.

I'll be taking butter dishes to the Mansfield Pottery Festival this coming Saturday.
I am looking forward to this event with all things ceramics.

Have you ever been??
It is not only a market but there are demonstrations, food and music under the trees of the main street.

Hi friends! I didn't want to do a post about this

This weekend I am busy again!
Last week my kiln was firing nonstop, and some really lovely pieces came out, something colourful and vibrant.

This is another vase style that came out of a mold, it is originally a jar, but I reinvent it and by adding a little something it turned into a very attractive design (at least that's what I think 🤔).

All the vases from this firing are inspired by flower buds and the transformation of flower blossoms.
These are maybe the last vases I'll be making before entering the cooler months. Then I am not sure what I'll be making, I'll see what I feel like creating.

I'll take some of these vases to this weekend's markets:

Saturday Beechworth farmer's market
Sunday @feastivalfallscreek at the village bowl from 9-1 pm

By the way the festival is going to be AWESOME!!! Who's going????

Announcement 2:

After having a weekend which really left me and many ceramics artists quite gutted with the Warrandyte Pottery Expo being cancelled due to a severe fire ban. I am still feeling down to say the least, but on a positive note, I am about to tell you another good news 😊.

During March I'll be delivering 2 workshops in collaboration with @thepumphousealbury in Albury NSW.

One is a hand building vase focusing on slab building, and I have a pretty cool project in mind.

The second one is, I am going to introduce you to the decorative technique I use mainly on my ceramics, sgraffito.

Both are suitable for beginners/intermediate level. What I love about these workshops is that you will end up with a product at the other end. I'll teach you tricks for completing a hand built piece, which is not the same as throwing and some food for thought when it comes to decorating your work.

Spaces are limited and you can book directly at the Pumphouse's website.

It is pretty special when you just love every piece you make, when it comes from the heart, when you spend hours and hours creating and getting lost in time, when you enter the state of flow.

This is what happened when I created these flower vases, I got totally lost in time, forgot to eat and if it wasn't for my daily alarm, I would have forgotten to pick my kids from school 🤦.

Each piece has an individual design. I tried to focus on simple parts of my past patterns and choosing a specific detail, then repeating to create a new pattern. Also combining different elements from past ideas.
I am super stoked they all came out so nice, because you know in ceramics nothing you make is guaranteed, so grateful for these.

It will be hard to see them go ❤️.

They will be available to the public this weekend at @thepotteryexpo Saturday and Sunday.

Some big news!!!
Well at least for me 😊.

I am attending a well known event for ceramics makers in Victoria, the @thepotteryexpo in Warrandyte this coming weekend.
It was such an honour to receive the news last year and to know that I was accepted to participate this year, I literally jumped out of my bed with joy the morning I read the email, I couldn't believe I got in.

I am preparing my stock to take this weekend, doing my firings and packing, and the weather is going to be quite acceptable too, so that is a bonus!.

It is my first time at this event and I am prepared to have a great time, it is also my first event of 2025.
What to expect from my stall.... beautiful pieces made with honesty a blast of colour and happy designs to uplift the modern home. I Cannot wait to meet you all if you are around the area!.

Hello lovely humans!!!👋

I am still around and life is good. Yes I have been away from IG for a while and recouping energy, spending time with family and friends and connecting with the real world.
I cannot believe it is nearly mid February already, I mean where did the time go????

This week is my first week creating again and my first firing of 2025 is ready to go, yes and under this awesome Victorian heat which is very unproductive for making pots.

I have a few announcements to tell you! But just keep an eye on my posts and you will know soon!
I just wanted to say hi and let you know I am still here, potting around 😝.

And what have you been up to??? I hope you have been enjoying life 🩵

As Christmas day is nearly around the corner, I let you know my shop (including made it) will be closing on Friday 20th by midday, so you still have a bit of time to put your orders in, yes I am talking to you last minute shopper 😄. At this point I am upgrading to express shipping and that is on me 🫶🌷. Obviously local pick up is very welcome but also by Friday midday.

GRATITUDE Please bear with me. Well what a year

GRATITUDE

Please bear with me.

Well what a year this has been, I can't thank you all enough for sharing, likes, follows and unfollows and helping me in one way or another to grow and support my creative practice.

This year has been a difficult one especially for little businesses and in particular the creative ones. I can say I have navigated a tricky cycle but a very rewarding one. I have been able to take on some new opportunities, being present at some different markets (thank you organizers for give me an opportunity) , putting myself out there and meeting some amazing people along the way.

This has allowed me to keep improving and growing my passion for this world of clay (which is a challenge itself).

I can't thank enough to all the customers who have purchased from me, from the spoon to the biggest pieces!, or attending my workshops. Without the financial support I couldn't be where I am. 🫶

In the last week I have shared on my stories what has been happening in the background, and I am so immensely grateful for achieving what I have been dreaming for a few years, my new studio. 🙌🙌

Early this year I committed to have it done, because I was fed up with not being able to work in a comfortable manner, hot summer days, freezing cold winter days in my little shed. I got laser focus on getting this new space!!!.

Yesterday the building was done (I still need to finish the inside though), the feeling was like getting to the finish line after running a marathon, falling on my knees, It is DONE!!!.

I am still looking at my new space and pinching myself, I cannot wait to move in and be able to work all year around.

I just wanted to share this with you all because your support has translated to this, and I cannot take it for granted. I need you to know that every time you support a small business you are making a real difference in someone's life.

So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! 🧡💛💚🌷😊
