04.02.2022 Watching plaster dry I’ve just finished making a bazillion plaster moulds to start production on these gorgeous porcelain light fittings designed by the talented Coco Palamara of @marzdesigns The moulds have been created using 3D printed models - and while there were days of exploding plaster cottles, bad swears and head scratching - I’m now feeling rather pleased with myself! I hope you’re enjoying a hard earned win too! #porcelain #ceramics #plaster #moulds #slipcast #design #australianceramics #australiandesign #lightingdesign #B&W #pinkyandmaurice #marzdesigns #collaboration
31.01.2022 These are a few of the lighting components I’m making for designer Coco Palamara of @marzdesigns. It’s nice to be in the studio moving clay around again. I hope you’ve been doing okay through this whole shit show. xx #porcelain #lighting #design #ceramics #australianceramics #australiandesign

24.01.2022 I Morris. We said goodbye to Morris our darling sausage dog this week. In his 15 fabulous sausage scented years he inspired us to write stories, make films, and create art, but most of all he inspired us to love. He was the Maurice to my Pinky. #pinkyandmaurice

22.01.2022 Back home, but Bali dreaming. If you want transformation, put a workshop at Gaya Ceramic Arts Center on your bucket list. Theyre game changers. #birthingbigpots #bigpots #bigmagic #australianceramics #bali #retreat #creativity #inspiration #gaya #ceramics #womensbusiness #throwlikeagirl #eatclaylove #clayeverydamnday @gayacac
22.01.2022 Were hosting the extraordinary musical talents of Harry James Angus in the studio this weekend. Friends and family have helped to pull everything out of the studio to transform it into a performance space. This morning, I brought a few pots back in. #painting #about #pots #studio #mural #itsallGreek #strugglewithglory
20.01.2022 Great advice from Bob and my mate Joy @floatcreative. Its so easy to tear yourself down after youve done a whole lot of great work! Unless youre a complete dickwad and deserve a good dressing down - dont go to that place kids! Dig yourself instead!

18.01.2022 My dear pot loving friends, Please accept my apologies for being absent from this page for such a long time! Over the last twelve months Ive been performing in plays, producing a musical, writing songs and making an album! We have such a short time on this lovely planet, and its partly because of that that I find it hard to do just one thing. If you feel similarly, I hope youve had time this year to explore something that has been whispering to you too. ... And, if youve ever wondered what a rockstar potter sounds like, or youd just like to know what Ive been up to, you can hear some of my songs on my albums website at https://eternalreturn.com.au/ Lots of love xx Claire aka Pinky & Maurice
17.01.2022 Things get broken at home like they were pushed by an invisible, deliberate smasher. It's not my hands ... or yours It wasn't the girls with their hard fingernails or the motion of the planet. It wasn't anything or anybody It wasn't the wind It wasn't the orange-colored noontime Or night over the earth It wasn't even the nose or the elbow Or the hips getting bigger or the ankle or the air. The plate broke, the lamp fell All the flower pots tumbled over one by one. That pot which overflowed with scarlet in the middle of October, it got tired from all the violets and another empty one rolled round and round and round all through winter until it was only the powder of a flowerpot, a broken memory, shining dust. And that clock whose sound was the voice of our lives, the secret thread of our weeks, which released one by one, so many hours for honey and silence for so many births and jobs, that clock also fell and its delicate blue guts vibrated among the broken glass its wide heart unsprung. Life goes on grinding up glass, wearing out clothes making fragments breaking down forms and what lasts through time is like an island on a ship in the sea, perishable surrounded by dangerous fragility by merciless waters and threats. Let's put all our treasures together -- the clocks, plates, cups cracked by the cold -- into a sack and carry them to the sea and let our possessions sink into one alarming breaker that sounds like a river. May whatever breaks be reconstructed by the sea with the long labor of its tides. So many useless things which nobody broke but which got broken anyway Ode to Broken Things Pablo Neruda #ceramics #shards #poetry #kintsugi #studio #wip #pinkyandmaurice
15.01.2022 Pondering new stuff out of the kiln. This is inspired by a stingray I found, he looked like the night sky. #wip #ceramics #pinkyandmaurice #keramik #byronbay #studio #pottery #poterie #ceramique

13.01.2022 I finally got my hands on my mate Jack Dohertys (@dohertyporcelain) stunning book Living Space. Its a jaw-droppingly beautiful celebration of his work and contribution to Ceramics over the past decade. Jack makes Guardian Vessels and theyve been described as survivors - I dont think theyve been more poignant.

08.01.2022 "...Her studio spills out onto a garden that pulsates with colour and pattern of succulents, strappy grasses and fruit trees. Entering the studio...I pick up a small ceramic work that could be a neolithic tool, its tiny handle crocheted with waxed cotton as fine as dental floss..." My interview with Helle Jorgensen @hellegoosey about her incredibly beautiful, but totally Useless Objects on the blog! Hit the weblink below.

07.01.2022 Theres a small stack of these beauties available now at @mrsbirdysgb as well as silky porcelain plates, platters and beakers for you to feel up or purchase. Every piece is made from a unique blend of porcelain that I make from scratch using raw Australian ingredients. This formless stuff is then molded, dried slowly, glazed, decorated, and twice fired in a kiln powered by the sun, then buffed and polished with mineral sands under a full moon, sung to and sealed with my own tears. Okay, the tears bit isnt true, sometimes theyre my childrens tears, but its an awful lot of bang for your buck. . . #pinkyandmaurice #porcelain #someonecomplainedaboutthepriceofmypots
06.01.2022 I love this time of year when everythings a possibility. I pace around projects like a tiger, sizing them up, seeing what I want most. This is one of the projects.

01.01.2022 Whats the longest time youve put off doing a job?

Tap the story link to see more of Karins beautiful work, learn about the art of indigo dyeing - it just might hold the key to starting that project youve been putting off. http://www.pinkyandmaurice.com/?page_id=22
