New glass tile jewellery

I'm really excited about this new range of glass tile jewellery incorporating both my current and earlier tile designs. The pendants come in three sizes, small, medium and large with matching earrings. Let me know what you think.

Local artist Anna Shalekoff is making the jewellery. Her work is meticulous, complementing my designs so well. I'm thrilled how well my ceramic tile designs work at this small scale.
More designs and colour ways will gradually be added to the collection.
This will be an exclusive range, available only from the gallery or via email.

Two of my pots with daphne

These are two of my favourite pots - made many years ago now. At least I kept a few!

My tiles as featured in Coles recipe cards

Four groups of my tiles feature in the current range of Coles recipe cards! They will appear one per week. 

Just arrived - Contemporary hand made glass jewellery by Marina and Susanna Sent

"Marina and Susanna Sent elaborate a family language in glass making, finding their own original expression in the traditional field of glass beads and jewels. The two sisters choose an exemplification of form strictly related to contemporary design in order to develop creative ideas in a synergic dialogue; each of them contribute to the definition of the project and to the production process with their individual sensibility and experience.

The poetic cascades of blown glass spheres become elegant necklaces, or glass fabrics bind together in warp and weft of inventive biomorphic pearls, and can transform in lamps refracting the light in fantastic prisms, or clear dresses created with playful irony, ambiguously impossible to wear, and therefore all the more fascinating and desirable.

The accurate investigation of the potentialities of technique and form in glass making leads Marina and Susanna Sent to attain elegant visual and sensorial combination with different materials, like wood and paper, in their search for new frontiers to express the beauty of form and the sensuality of the object."

My work space from a visitor's perspective

These images were taken by a visitor to the gallery yesterday. Fascinating to see quite a different perspective of my work table.

Sascha - our 'friendly dog' with a young gallery visitor

Despite having 'friendly dog' signs around the car park, a few visitors to the gallery drive away without getting out of their cars. Despite my best efforts to stop her barking, Sascha does come racing down the drive barking loudly to greet each visitor, which is clearly disconcerting to some.

So, I'm going to post a few pics over the next few weeks showing how all she wants is to say "hello" and show the way in.

Bug Art

These double page spreads are from Robert Rosetzky's book 'Bug Art'. First published in 1995, '... it is dedicated to the little bugs who, whilst satisfying their voracious appetites, enhanced the simple beauty of leaves with their unwitting form of artistic expression'.

Ideas for your floor

One of several Afghani kilims currently in stock - predominantly in vibrant reds and oranges.

Hope to see you at the gallery soon

Well the holidays are over, kids are back at school and it's time for me to get back to painting tiles.
The summer has been kind so far, hopefully will remain so. Living in the midst of wondrous bushland is great for most of the year, but worrying during a hot summer.
Hope to see you at the gallery soon - so many beautifully hand-crafted items in stock as always!
