Beautiful majolica work.



Have seen this potter's work on the net a few times and I love it's simplicity! Guess I usually think of majolica as the Delft ware or Italian majolica or often over worked pieces I see with hobbyists but this work is simple, gentle, easy to relate to as tableware, asymmetrical and 'imperfect' which is something I really respond to.......the whole wabi-sabi thing.

So very pretty!

Mixed media ceramic jewellery


Rinse and repeat: recycled jewellery hangs loose

Just saw this entry on ArtsHub about ceramic mixed media jewellery.

Would love to spend more time experimenting with this, have many ideas to try out.....would also like to get to Canberra to see this too......
