Our kiln firing over the weekend was very successful...

I love this bowl.  It makes me feels special :)

Jackson painted this one of mine too

Thats a mix of cobalt and iron oxide.  Nice.

Then just my little ones to test out my handmade feather brush. 

I'd like to say a 'hello' to you nice people who take the time to follow my blog; you rock.

As promised, some photos from last weekend's workshop. Jackson also popped in to see us at college which was cool.

(Thats me with the plaits there)
Saturday morning, inspecting Jackson's collection of handmade brushes,He made us green tea before we started, how nice?!He separates nearly every single stand of hair (this was goat). Patience doesn't cover it!Testing its awesomeness.Sunday morning, painting more awesomeness.Jackon drew me in a bowl! I look a little angry...but I'm in a bowl!

It was the most amazing weekend, with yummy food and interesting people and awesome skills to learn. Mr Li, you rock!

I've had the most amazing weekend ever. EVER. The Gold Coast Potters Assoc. had the honour of hosting a workshop by the somewhat legendary potter Jackson Li. He shared some knowledge of wheel throwing, brushmaking and painting. He's amazing. I felt starstruck all weekend, he's so awesome. I didn't take photos as I was far too absorbed in what he was doing, so I shall pilfer some pictures from my teacher in a couple of days to share with you. For now I will leave you with a video of Jackson throwing with red raku clay. And kicking ass. Who can throw that clay with bare hands?! You may want to keep the sound down, the background noise is annoying!
