MUDHEART POTTERY BLOG: How well do we care for our environment???

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

We have achieved a place in the Top 10 rating - I wonder when we will wake up and start looking at our environment through different eyes.

mudheartpottery: I am Nona (grandmother) to 4 little boys - oh what fun! I love my family and we all share a love of art. Weipa is an isolated mining town in Cape York - a potter's paradise! Local bauxite and kaolin feature heavily in my work and reflect my unique surroundings. I love leaving little marks with my fingers and shells, little secrets for the user to find on closer inspection. I spend hours glazing my pieces adding little touches of colour with my Weipa shino to catch the changing patterns and light I see every day. For me there is pleasure from mixing in handfuls of Weipa clay right through to the firing. It is all a labour of love I never tire of.
