About Me

Introduction	Hi Everyone, This is Sarah, we live between Australia and New Zealand and since Covid lockdown have been staying in NZ. All my life I have loved creating and have done so in some form or other since I can remember. I have been painting on and off for the past 20 years am relatively new to Ceramics. This started with a hand building class in July 2020. I then tried a wheel class and by now was totally hooked on both forms of building pottery. I now have a wheel and kiln am loving playing around with glazes and different techniques of applying these.
What I Love about Ceramics	The things I am loving the most at this stage are the changes you can make with a piece of clay. I have found starting on the wheel and finishing of with some sculptural hand building a lot of fun and am about to explore this further. I am also enjoying the challenge of glazing my pieces and being suprised at the outcomes. My next challenge is to start drawing/painting more onto my finished pieces now that I have discovered some different types of ceramic pencils and paints.
How I started with ceramics	Ceramics was always something I wanted to try and the timing has been perfect for me over the past year or so.
What inspires me	My inspiration is colour, nature, the outdoors both in Australia and New Zealand (both very different but also sometimes the same). I love design, architecture, beautiful gardens, clothing – anything visual really!!
What I'm working on at the moment	I am currently attending wheel classes to become more consistent in my work and am also working on some new handbuilding projects such as large bowls, serving platters and water jugs.
