21.01.2022 Cassowary sculpture, work in progress, one of my largest pieces to date is now drying, after bisque firing i will apply underglazes. Really looking forward to seeing this completed, they are such an interesting, prehistoric looking bird with striking colours. NB background music from Jurassic Park because these birds remind me of dinosaurs #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #raku #sculpture #animalsculpture #wildlifesculpture #cassowary #australianbirds

21.01.2022 The bilby emerged from its final firing this week and Im very pleased with the results. This sweet little critter will soon be on its way to a new home in Victoria. Happy travels my little furry friend, off to live with the spotted quoll and koala sculptures I have made in the past. This is 17cms tall. *sold #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #raku #sculpture

20.01.2022 Hi everyone, last week was the first week of school holiday workshops at Art Est. Art School. The poor munchkins missed out last school holidays because of covid 19 so were very happy to return their creative spaces. It was a fun busy time which Ill be doing all again from tomorrow. Here are some highlights from last week where the kids made slithering slimy snails, pokemon planters, Bears with beanies & bows, Castles and Cat & Dog bowls. If youre local & the kids are looking for something creative to do this week then take a look at art est website for workshop availability.

19.01.2022 Today I was working on something a little bit different, underglaze painting portraits onto porcelain pendants and brooches. The pendants are double sided so it doesnt matter if it flips while wearing it as there is no back Im hoping to have these ready with clips and pins in time for Mothers Day. #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #porcelain

18.01.2022 Throwback Thursday this still blows my mind that this even happened!! #tbt #throwbackthursday #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #frogs

18.01.2022 Week 2 of School Holiday Workshops completed at Art Est. Art School. Another fun, busy week. Great to see the kidlywinks and munchkins after missing out on last school holidays curtesy of covid-19. Lets hope things are still open for the next school holidays Anyway, here are some of the highlights from the week. Funky Chickens & cat and dog sculptures, birds and branches paintings, dinosaurs and safari animal pots. So pleased with what the kids made and looking forward to seeing them all glazed.

15.01.2022 In the studio today. Large Cassowary sculpture with raku clay and painted with underglazes. Almost finished, i think just a few areas to tweak. They are such strange, prehistoric looking creatures but have amazing colour combinations. #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #raku #cassowary #bird #australianbirds #wildlifesculpture

15.01.2022 My latest sculpture, a spotted quoll, now slowly drying. I will add the underglaze colour after the bisque firing then it will be fired again. #australianceramics #ceramics #raku #sculpture #marsupial #quoll #australianwildlife

15.01.2022 I had a busy few hours at Art Est Art School this afternoon preparing clay art kits for our upcoming Live Online Workshops for these Easter School Holidays.

14.01.2022 I finished underglazing the emu sculptures today. Dad and his little chick and a couple of unhatched eggs. Now they are loaded in the kiln with the wombat and bilby sculptures and will fire them in the morning. #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #sculpture

12.01.2022 Hello everyone, here’s some work from the latest glaze firing and probably my last one for the year. Porcelain pots with silhouette landscapes featuring kangaroos, emus, lyrebirds, wombat and koalas. Some are custom made but I have a few pieces available (2 cups and a bowl). Please DM me for details. Many thanks to those of you who have supported and encouraged me in the past especially during this crazy and trying year of 2020. Certainly a year many of us won’t forget in a hurry. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and all the best to you for a safe and healthy 2021. I look forward to sharing my artwork with you in the new year. Take care, Tanya #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #porcelain

12.01.2022 For those of you in Sydney, NSW , check out these workshops Im teaching at Art Est. Art School.

Places available for both morning and afternoon. #pottery #ceramics #fathersday #sydney #giftidea #potteryworkshop

12.01.2022 I’ve been working on porcelain pendants and brooches, handpainted with underglazes, these will be left unglazed but sealed with a liquid quartz product that will help make them stain resistant. Time to get these in the kiln. #australianceramics #Porcelain #pottery #ceramics #porcelainjewelry

12.01.2022 Im back at work teaching online ceramics workshops with kids while on school holidays @artestforkids !!! What a fabulous first LIVE workshop I had on Friday! So much fun Art Est. Art School have a wonderful setup, very professional with various angles so the students can easily see whats going on and follow along. Here are a couple of screenshots of what a couple of the students did but i will get better photos when they drop them off for firing. Well done munchkins also pics of Pablo the art dog and art est mascot having a go with the clay & some behind the scenes shots with Jeremy from admin sitting in on the class as well #pottery #ceramics #artschool #potteryclass

11.01.2022 I just finished underglazing my latest sculpture- an Australian Quokka (last few photos are of the real animals so you can see where my inspiration comes from). Refered to as the happiest animals in the world, they love to pose for selfies with the tourists. Now to go back into the kiln for another firing. #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #sculpture #quokka #quokkaselfie #raku

11.01.2022 Sydney siders~ Are you for something fun and interesting for you or the kids to do over the school holidays? This is where I teach

11.01.2022 About 3 days of work, here is a Quokka and her joey that I have been working on ...I actually tweaked it again after i took this video, its so hard to know when to stop and i often keep going back to to a sculpture to make changes. Ive sometimes even tweaked things while they are sitting in the kiln . . #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #sculpture #quokka #marsupial

11.01.2022 I tutored another live online workshop yesterday. This is such a great way for learning when face to face is not possible. 12 munchkins made Bunnies & Bilbies yesterday and achieved some adorable results. Im looking forward to taking some decent photos of them when their parents drop them off to be fired. Until then, i took some happysnaps from the computer screen. If your kids are looking for something creative to do for the remainder of the school holidays pop online Art Est. Art School to see availability. Term classes will be available soon in 4 week blocks/sessions for both adults and children!

10.01.2022 Here’s my first post for the new year. A work in progress still, just finished sculpting this gecko onto a carved porcelain flannel flower pot. Now to allow it to dry slowly then I’ll underglaze the gecko. All the best to you all for a great 2021, hopefully less crazy and surreal than 2020 #australianceramics #ceramics #porcelain #pottery

10.01.2022 I have just returned home from a wonderful week at Broken Hill in the NSW outback. I was honoured to be asked to teach 2 x 2 day Australian animal sculpture workshops for the Broken Hill Potters Society. A total of 20 participants over 4 days. Here are some of the fantastic results & some action shots from the workshops that ran from Saturday to Tuesday. I was made to feel very welcome by the whole group who were very friendly and enthusiastic. A local ABC Broken Hill reporte...r visited on Monday and interviewed me which was broadcast Tuesday. Broken Hill is a great town with lots to do and I enjoyed sightseeing each afternoon (sunset at the living sculptures is a must-see when visiting BH). All in all a fun working holiday. I hope to return again one day. #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #sculpture #animalsculpture #wildlife #wildlifesculpture #brokenhill #brokenhillpotterssociety Broken Hill, New South Wales See more

03.01.2022 Throwback Thursday (on a Friday morning ) my very first award from the Sydney Teapot Show. I love making these floral teapots.

03.01.2022 My cassowary sculpture came out of the final firing this week. I love the intense colours of cassowaries and with their large claws and crowned head they look prehistoric. They are the worlds most dangerous bird. This sculpture measures 30cms x 35cms x 20cms . #australianceramics #ceramics #pottery #sculpture #raku #wildlifesculpture

03.01.2022 Nice little article in the local paper

02.01.2022 Fantastic first day back post-covid19 teaching face to face at Art Est. Art School with the kidlywinks and munchkins.
