I cracked the kiln door this morning to reveal all! All pieces made it through the glaze firing in one piece (pheeew!!!), not all have been successfully executed in the glaze process, alas, 'tis a lesson learn't... then there are some little beauties that are lovely to hold and are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. All in all a big learning curve as well as some interesting concepts and ideas that are something to think about for future works... I think I've stumbled accross something of substance here with the tissue transfers, we shall see where it takes me!<br />Happy Australia Day, working hard, listening to Triple J's hottest 100, enjoy!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Ashley Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12451382538523474745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372335243157558809.post-13068975295901768272010-01-22T06:44:00.000-08:002010-01-22T07:46:35.834-08:00Perth, pots and potters<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixxE6bcsEpWzpvjkMo3gYb21gNOHiYpjU-V6ZqJedX15SNKQEW3M0Blembnn3sGTfXmxbYoq_TgyvN0TICJ1OjVR-O0c1dGK5ijInorW-8yicmkQWo115CYvFoXoS1chA0tOVXxMtUA7Y/s1600-h/Ash+photos+09-10+take+three+082.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I can't believe it's almost one week until I must leave this warm, welcoming and happy place! Working with Fleur has been such an amazing opportunity; the experience, knowledge and technical skills I have learn't are invaluable. Sunshine, cloudless blue skies, warm smiles, lots of swims and long days in the studio are all a young ceramic artist could want right now... need I say more. It's the simple things in life which bring joy and happiness :) I've managed to churn out quite a body of work over here, the luggage heading back east may not be so forgiving, but it's so worth it! The SODA girls are beautiful, thank you so much for making me feel like part of the family! I definately intend on another visit, hopefully in the not too distant future, bliss!</div><br /></div>Ashley Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12451382538523474745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372335243157558809.post-53366621989721563042010-01-10T04:05:00.000-08:002010-01-10T04:47:45.628-08:00Pottering around in Western Australia<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIe70GcJqOpeT1U7x9_gcKbnmjd3alnMhfitJ3tCvGEVTqA3u-4NlJ0rSqw3FWy1tMnzUx7lS2laG-LqnpPeB87XXNf2wF1-c7y5Bc34VHOqMsJfWHEwxnBcs7VOOGGF1UXrB7J3IJEr0/s1600-h/Ash+photos+09-10+156.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I've been pottering around more or less the past couple of days, having a play with no real project in mind, throwing, hand-building and experimenting with textures that I collected on my beach-crawl up the West coast. Tomorrow brings a new day, a new week and a new outlook, stay tuned.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Ashley Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12451382538523474745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372335243157558809.post-20460672831231550022009-12-28T21:53:00.000-08:002009-12-29T01:45:16.883-08:00'Little Red' 2009<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnKNjg78oI84SfdthKbqsuJKd2L35YGISeApREAIJa7Wp0XSOWx4YqgZ0g2mwReDkVYZMzQGTznHWhqPqFMZnSKnOdkr0h6TDdGlNnPk1HZUDzIS16Wdp8iX8gzYEPs1a8rPBAyiLmu0/s1600-h/little+red+2009"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnKNjg78oI84SfdthKbqsuJKd2L35YGISeApREAIJa7Wp0XSOWx4YqgZ0g2mwReDkVYZMzQGTznHWhqPqFMZnSKnOdkr0h6TDdGlNnPk1HZUDzIS16Wdp8iX8gzYEPs1a8rPBAyiLmu0/s200/little+red+2009" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420532432131085154" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Little Red</span> 2009 is the latest in the 'boot series' which is part of <a href="http://www.breathingcoloursgallery.blogspot.com">Breathing Colours</a> Christmas exhibition. The opening was a great success with many a Christmas cheer! The gallery was filled with both functional and non-functional pieces, from sculpture to jewellery to wall art, it was full of bright, bold colour as far as the eye could see. This may well be the last of the boot series, time for a step in another direction - study and working in a studio again, rather than my bedroom floor! That will make the landlord happy. We shall see what my honours year conjures up in March 2010. And in the mean time... January 2010, will be spent in Western Australia doing a ceramic residency at SODA studios, Fremantle. I'm looking forward to fresh ideas, new knowledge and a renewed ceramic vision. January will be a welcome coastal change from the NSW side of life- stay tuned for updates on this stay. Have a happy and healthy 2010!<br /></div>Ashley Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12451382538523474745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372335243157558809.post-26717947496119857722009-11-07T22:04:00.000-08:002009-11-07T22:13:53.327-08:00It's been too long...<div style="text-align: center;">Busy busy bee... Triennale, honours applications, juggling three jobs, travel plans, making work for exhibitions...life has been happening, hence the irregular updates and no pictures to upload as my camera is currently missing in action since it was burgled from home last year-I really need to buy one to stop bothering others! The net is down at home too so my posts won't be as regular as I'd like, but I'm working on it. When it rains, it pours right?! Keep in touch, next year promises to be very exciting indeed!<br /></div>Ashley Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12451382538523474745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372335243157558809.post-30981409489695313632009-08-31T04:30:00.000-07:002009-08-31T05:18:01.233-07:00New work in progress<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5xJrqNl6iPol8Md_69GIucTFZzalwP_OHzgXZUGImvUo-GSzdihZX4DrPEzsvvrsGqqhGMmbVXFJ64Xr5CvkR7xQjmAcNqkm87Ve4VQWdwb7Ct9_E5f9Osr9b57ttN4auB8BSyW-7dQ/s1600-h/Hand12.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376099618902147266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5xJrqNl6iPol8Md_69GIucTFZzalwP_OHzgXZUGImvUo-GSzdihZX4DrPEzsvvrsGqqhGMmbVXFJ64Xr5CvkR7xQjmAcNqkm87Ve4VQWdwb7Ct9_E5f9Osr9b57ttN4auB8BSyW-7dQ/s200/Hand12.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUubQHw9ZzjstqEViMSfg2diNYg0syl638jr_16RJ8LR5Zwcf1UusZeUMLVnt3nZVPz_Zfc7BGYHGi3EmWEGvGCxv3LsIfgf-xVaPb1UABmB4p1Lng5lD9FXIdU0JOTuSzEMt26YQBaA8/s1600-h/Hand2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376093944373083698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUubQHw9ZzjstqEViMSfg2diNYg0syl638jr_16RJ8LR5Zwcf1UusZeUMLVnt3nZVPz_Zfc7BGYHGi3EmWEGvGCxv3LsIfgf-xVaPb1UABmB4p1Lng5lD9FXIdU0JOTuSzEMt26YQBaA8/s200/Hand2.JPG" border="0" /></a> Hand casts - a new series I've been working on.
