'Stepping Up' in Canberra

In July I attended the 2015 Australian Ceramics Triennale in Canberra, Stepping Up. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and to get back to Canberra for the first time since completing a residency at the ANU soon after I came to Australia. This time around I was demonstrating my slab building technique alongside a number of others artists, and was part of a panel discussion with my friends Kirsten Coelho and Vipoo Srivilasa talking about our experiences working in Arita, Japan with local kilns as artists in residence. It was a great conference, and was so nice to see snow on the mountains in Australia - I think it was my first time - but it was also nice to get back to sunny Queensland!
