I'm taking part in a project called WILD CLAY WILD WOMEN, run by Larissa Warren @ratbagstudios from QLD. Over the weekend I had a play with the two clays, Red Retreat with 20% Keane Raku and and Eagles Close with sand. I added some Lumina mid-fire slip. I made a few brooches and a couple of small pinched bowl. Lots of fun and VERY relaxing. Larissa has lots of ideas about where it may lead us, but for now she wants us to connect, make and share. She has sent us some wild clay or raw minerals from local sources she has located on Tamborine Mountain. Rich in natural colour due to high iron, hand-processed by Larissa, nothing added and tested to cone 10. She says, you've got to love volcanic earth. Only small quantities have been provided to participants (400-500gms) as it's quite time consuming hunting this stuff down, drying it out, breaking it down, wetting, sieving and getting it just right. There are 3-4 different clay batches, all with their own personality. Each clay is quite adaptable ... she's been able to make terra sig and slip from most of them, add grog and other minerals for strength and texture and even mix with porcelain. #wildclaywildwomen #wildclay #tamborinemountain #wherewillweendup #australianceramics #workingsmall #workingtiny #ceramicjewellery #ceramicbrooches #ceramicbrooch #vickigrima #larissawarren #thankslarissa #stillsomeclayleft #keaneraku #redretreat #eaglesclose #luminamidfire

3Trains Project ... SAVE THE DATE 🔥🔥🔥 the opening of our exhibition @strathnairnartsgallery woolshed | Sat 4 April at 2pm | The Three Trains Project 2018–2020 Three Sydney-based ceramic artists (Ursula Burgoyne, Jen Lyall and Montessa Maack), with considerable experience in woodfiring, were interested in learning from each other the detail of how they each fired three train kilns of similar dimension and design. Vicki Grima joined in having no kiln, some woodfiring experience and an avid interest to join in. To do this research, the four artists fired the three kilns together, each time under the leadership of one member of the group: Jen Lyall lead the Glenorie firing; Ursula Burgoyne the Moruya firing and Montessa Maack the Strathnairn firing. Each firing contained work from the four artists, with the aim to have nine or ten firings. One of the outcomes of this project is the exhibition of the best work from these firings at the Strathnairn Woolshed Gallery. | images: Moruya firing last weekend | #woodfiringkiln #moruya #strathnairn #3trains #womenwhowoodfire #australianceramics #australianwoodfiring #firinginyoursleep #ilovebeingpartofthis #ursulaisthebest #thanksforhavingus #aswimtofinish
