Autumn at Red Hill

Indulge your senses - so many beautiful handcrafted works to see, as well as my tiles in a myriad of brilliant colour ways. The birds are visiting and bathing. Our bush gully is wondrous in the Autumn.
The gallery will be open over all of Easter and school holidays.

Tiles en masse

After many years painting my tiles, I remain fascinated by the myriad of colour combinations possible repeating the same three patterns.

Close up images of sections of my favourite saggar fired pots

Before the tile painting began, I made pots, mostly domestic ware, as well as experimenting with techniques such as pit and saggar fired pots. Here are some close-up images from sections of my favourite pieces. A few were converted into large framed prints. I hope to make more prints from them soon.
