CHEESE DISH

My domestic range includes cooking , serving and decorative table ware . Although one off sculptural pieces take up a lot of my creative life , the beauty of strong items that bring joy to the user is very important to me

About Pat

 I became a member of the Society of Arts and Crafts N.S. W. in 1998 after completing a four year course in ceramics at Brookvale Tech . My domestic range is a porcelaneous stoneware that can be thrown very thinly yet be extremely  durable . However my main love is sculptural work . These are often stimulated from my time living in Kenya and Papua New Guinea and extensive travel around the world .

Since the pandemic reached us, my garden has been inspirational . I am lucky to look over many acres of escarpment with wilderness everywhere . 

To create something that someone else loves enough to buy is the greatest complement that I can think of . 

 Although not for sale online at the moment when restrictions are lifted they may be delivered to the Sydney area by arrangement
