Finally catching up on orders that I didn’t complete before we went on holidays. There was an order for one butter dish so I’ve done a few more to have as stock for a sale at the beginning of December.

We share our lives with friends across the world through their pots in daily or special use.
Today at lunchtime I needed to meet customers in the showroom and took my unfinished cup of tea with me - it was in a hikidashi beaker by Hervé Rousseau that is my goto lunchtime tea vessel.

Gradually getting back into the rhythm of making - serving platter with grub trail texture on a wide dropped curve rim. The outside will also get this texture after I have turned the outside.

Back in the workshop finally - catching up on orders for tableware - mostly plates. At the end of a run when there is just a small amount of clay left I often make smaller test pots. Here it was something to keep testing the local high iron slip - there is potential here and I just need to keep chasing it down.

Mostly we pack pretty conventionally here at Ridgeline but then Jackson Parker decided to pack a raw bonsai pot in the bottom of the chimney. It survived being propped up on the diagonal there and was unpacked before the rest of the kiln.

Every form I make has a history, a story and a purpose.
The history starts with seeing the rope impressed work of Tatsuzo Shimoaka a friend of my teacher Les Blakebrough and develops layers over the 40 years since then.
Those layers are grounded in this place - of patterns in sand and light on wind ruffled ocean along with the human imprint of oyster leases on the tidal lagoon surface. The ropes now are found amongst the tidal detritus on our local surf beach along with the scallop shells that support the vase during the firing.
The raw materials for the glazes and wood for the firing are also locally sourced to add a final layer along with the woodfiring.
As far as purpose goes - that’s an adventure for someone else.

Not long after I took this image of a Scoop series woodfired server from the last firing it unexpectedly left the workshop for a new home in Melbourne.

While there is always a lot of dramatic flame action around the woodfiring it’s often the quieter moments as we shutdown and smoke filters fingers of light that register strongly - along with a great image by PETA of a bunch of blokes sitting up in the stone dress circle behind the kiln watching the flames lick out from every crevice in the damped down kiln.
Thanks to this crew for the Small Fires Studio firing and the women who also helped with this firing - Alby [occassionally Alice]] Em Vickery Kris Tay
and Peta
