Lots of things happening in the 'Camp shed' workshop. The 'Campshed' is my welding and ceramics workshop/studio.
In the "camp shed you'll find the 'throwing wheel', a 14 cubic foot LPGas fired kiln, along with the 'pug mill', welding gear and associated paraphernalia.
Selected as 'Artist in Residence' for the Mulga Bill Festival in Central west NSW. This honour involved working with the community to create just on 500 ceramic tiles from bulk clay.
These tiles were let harden slightly then each tile was individually worked by members of the Yeoval and district community. By carving and writing on the raw clay tiles, stories of early settlement of the district and events and ordinary peoples lives have been depicted to form Totems and 'Story board' walls.
I've just successfully completed the 12 month 'Artist in residence' for the Mulga Bill Festival Committee in the town of Yeoval in Central Western New South Wales.
The culmanation of the twelve months work in addition to the content of the above paragraph, was the completion of FIVE large stone seat/tables installed along the Buckinbah Creek at the town of Yeoval. Four of the five seats are Mintaro Slate from the Clare Valley in South Australia. Each of the slate seats measures approximately 3.3 metres long by 1.2 metres wide and vary in thickness up to 125 mm thick. weighing in at an average of between 500 and 700 kilograms each. The fifth seat is Winmallee Sandstone from the Blue Mountains in NSW, it measured approximatelt 2.2 metres lomg by 1.2 metres wide by 250 mm thick, weighing in at approx 720 kilo's.
