25.01.2022 From one extreme.... these small cups are perfect for an Expresso or double. Fit under the group handle of the machine you may have. We binge watched The Bureau on SBS and they had a mighty fine range of little cups ..... and The espionage thing ! Such a good series ! #expressocup #morningcoffee #handmadeceramic #melbourneceramics

25.01.2022 My website is updated with a range of Shino bowls and tumblers available for sale. #shinoglazes #stonewareceramics www.janicekeenceramics.com.au

24.01.2022 Result ! I have had a few mishaps with large platters lately. Turns out if I slow down and do things properly they don’t crack ! You would think I would know this by now ! #potterylifelessons

24.01.2022 Part of the morning ritual is choosing a cup .... and it would seem taking a photo. Getting my work out there in a time of Covid #cups #handmade #morningcoffee

23.01.2022 Here she comes .... 2 burner gas Kiln. So excited! She was delivered between restrictions and we have just assembled the shed... slow steps in this time of Covid ! #anotherkiln #reductionfiring #melbourneceramicist

23.01.2022 Large bowl 26cm diameter. An ongoing exploration of surface. I an very happy with this one ! #stonewareceramics #melbourneceramics

23.01.2022 Tumbler with a dash of colour #stonewareceramics #mugs

23.01.2022 I am back at the @potteryco_warrandyte Pop Up this weekend and most weekends until Christmas. I will have more work available and am replacing the wide servers that sold last weekend. It’s a slow business allowing the wide bases to dry evenly. Patience is not my thing but ceramics teaches many lessons ! #melbourne ceramics

22.01.2022 Shino plates make Monday night dinner look a bit fancy ! Paprika and Lime chicken on my plate ! #shino #melbourneceramicist

22.01.2022 Apple tumblers (once upon a time I made a set that looked like Granny Smith apples) that will make their way to my website for sale. #stonewareceramics

22.01.2022 New pieces for @potteryco_warrandyte Pop Up. Platters and servers fresh from the Kiln, two of each. Open 10-4 Saturday and Sunday Yarra Street Warrandyte behind the Sweet Shop

21.01.2022 Last of the Stoney whites tests for now...here comes some colour #glazetests #melbourneceramicist

21.01.2022 Packing for ten Warrandyte pottery Co Pop Up. Paused to take a pic or two of this one !

21.01.2022 Back at the @potteryco.warrandyte with some of my signature pieces as I regroup after the @thepotteryexpo . It’s lovely to be back with all the other potters in picturesque Warrandyte. #australianmadeceramics #foodtastesbetterinhandmadepottery

21.01.2022 Back to Ash Glazes. I have been getting some unusual colour responses from some of my Nuka type glazes so am getting to the boit-on of that as well as revisiting some old favourites. The dark blue is an Ash with Cobalt, its a new one and think it would be good on one of my moon jars. Very deep and inky with rivulets where thick .... beware the Kiln shelves !! #ashglazedceramics #glazetests #runnyglaze

20.01.2022 Thank you so much - love to see my pieces in action ! Little piece of art in every day !

20.01.2022 Shino Tumbler. I snuck this one onto the overflowing cup shelf as I couldnt part with it but the rest from this firing will find their way to my website along with Shino bowls from this Smokey firing ! #shino #handmadeinmelbourne

20.01.2022 Arid .... in the winter sun. I stareted working with this glaze @soca_brunswick, one from Curries Magnesium set for those who were there with @frenchneville on Tuesdays. Its been a wealth of learning ! #glqzescience

19.01.2022 A change from pottery - Possum wars ! Last year the a###hole possums ate all my quinces. I would have been happy to share but really every last one ? We dispensed with netting - they eat that too, so this is a fortified wire mesh tube - cant go over it cant go under it CANNOT go through it .... Viva La Quince paste ? #springgarden

18.01.2022 In this surreal time I am very lucky to have the endless story of clay slip glaze and fire to keep me going....along with some wonderful audio books and Nick Caves new music ! #stonewareceramics #melbourneceramics #glazetesting

17.01.2022 Lucky to still have access to my small gas Kiln. Back to ash glazes in reduction - which sounds like a reasonable way to spend the next five weeks ! #ashglazes #nukaglaze #gasfiredkiln

16.01.2022 I have added a few pieces @warrandytepottery. The Gallery is full of inspiration so head on over !! #supportlocalartists #melbourneceramics

15.01.2022 I have been making little trinket holders. These ones look like Tawny Frogmouths! Its a stretch but with a bit of imagination!The last pics are from a few years back when we had a family of five in our backyard !#ceramicboxes #tawnyfrogmouth

14.01.2022 Tall Mug.... currently the most sought after mug in the cupboard. Cold days ... tall tea ! #mugs #handmadeceramic

14.01.2022 Mugs ! Its that time of year when sliding your hands around a warm mug is a comfort so lots of requests (from the family) for plenty of room in the handle. #mugs #melbournehandmade

14.01.2022 Potato Salad .... With peas and egg and importantly Chimichurri sauce. Served in a fancy bowl.... by @janicekeenceramics.

Thanks for the recipe recommendation @sararayner #foodtastesbetterinhandmadepottery

13.01.2022 New favourite Massaman Roast Chicken. Yum ! #lockdowndinners #shinopots #ceramicservingbowl

13.01.2022 I have given up describing bowls as noodle or pasta or ...They are small or large, deep or shallow. Put what ever you like in them .... as much as you want ! They all work exceptionally well with ice-cream according to the family . Just saying. #stonewareceramics #stonewareglaze

13.01.2022 By comparison I start the day with this little guy for my morning coffee (s). After all that caffeine I am using my tall mugs for herbal tea ..... or giant hot choc ! #mug #stonewarepottery #melbourneceramics

13.01.2022 Five attempts to throw this form in one piece and I cant seem to stop adjusting ..... could end badly still. In the absence of workshops and classes I have been setting myself projects and even documenting what I am learning along the way. Pretty good way to go given the current circumstances ! #diyceramicsclasses #australianceramics

12.01.2022 Tall Tumblers onto my website this afternoon. So glad my little gas Kiln is still going strong ! www.jamicekeenceramics.com.au #reductionfire #stonewareceramics

11.01.2022 I had the opportunity to make some very tall tumblers by special request. I enjoyed the process do much i just kept going ! There is something very comforting about a giant warm drink. A selection of these generous mugs will be for sale on my website or DM me for sales and commissions are welcome although delayed in this time of lockdown !#bigmugs #stonewaremug #melborneceramics

10.01.2022 Morning coffee. I made this little tumbler some time ago @soca_brunswick in the Form and Surface class. The objective set was to use a limited range of materials and incorporate line into the surface to produce a tumbler as part of a breakfast set. I still regularly use the pieces I made at that time #cups #melbournehandmade
