Introduction	My name is Pru and I live in Brisbane Queensland. Australia. I make functional and sculptural pieces and paint terra sigillata on the surface using scrafito to scratch out texture and drawings.
What I Love about Ceramics	I love the feel of clay and the challenges each form presents. I enjoy trying to engineer each piece so that it makes it through all the stages without disaster striking. I like making an idea into an object.
How I started with ceramics	I studied Visual Arts straight from school and then several years later after working in different industries I decided to study Ceramics. I thought it’d be interesting. Of course I fell in love with it.
What inspires me	I like work that tells a story which represents the maker. I had a thing for Greek pottery at one point. My dogs inspire me. I enjoy Stephen Bird’s work. Colour, brushstrokes and scratched drawings excite me. I like words.
What I'm working on at the moment	I’m working on slab built dog vases, a few sculptural pieces and porcelain brooches.
