What a great end to the Bakehouse Studio year with a big party and exhibition last Friday and Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came and joined in the Christmas cheer and supported our community of Bakehouse Studio artists

Thanks to Sara, Deb, Sally, Vicki, Cally, Annelise, Tatiana and Eliza for participating in the market and many thanks to Sally for hand making our Bakehouse Studio aprons.

I was overwhelmed by the strength of communities at both of these amazing events, from uber rural to uber urban contexts, both so beautiful in their own very special ways!

It was wonderful to welcome Tatiana Botkine - a young Swiss travelling scholarship recipient from the CEPV school near Geneva who will work with me till the end of October.

Whenever I think I’d like to go somewhere warm, I just can’t bear to leave this fabulous space - full of clay, half-baked projects and wonderful Bakehouse patrons.

I love seeing what people create and seeing how they go on from our workshops to bigger, more ambitious projects afterwards.

I’ve had the very good fortune to have visited Newcastle twice during the month of May. The first time to install my 5 - totem Goddess Garden at Fort Scratchley in the Sculptures at Scratchley Exhibition, and the second time to pack it up and deliver the work to its new owners in Merewether…

One of my favourite places that never ceases to fire my imagination is Clay Gulgong - a unique clay festival set in the historical gold mining town of Gulgong.

As the weather cools down a bit, the Bakehouse Studio has been hotting up with lots of new work-in-progress for exhibitions in May and beyond.

A fabulous group of creatives attended the first Totems Workshop of 2024.

Thanks to all the artists who have contributed to these fabulous events. It’s great to see your work reach audiences beyond the Bakehouse Studio.

It’s finally here. The birthday month I’ve been waiting for both anxiously and excitedly…

Here’s to Spring – a time for growth and getting out and about again.

A visit to Central Australia in July was a wonderful way to take a short break from Winter with the family…
