raku back yard style...

 A bit of quick Rakuing to top the week off.... enjoy some Ian Dury and the Blockheads beats :))

really nice drop...

I don't know why but I was pleasantly surprised with the Sauvignon Blanc we had at the opening last night!! Anyhoo a few piccies just as we finished setting up after the usual dramas up to the very last minute...yey for opening night nerves :P but the team stayed amazingly calm and all went swimmingly. Along came 7pm and cars started rolling down the driveway I still think some Bali torches or lanterns would have been lovely out by the entrance but the wind and rain kinda would have hampered that idea!!

So yey team and peeps that came out on a cold and wet night in the hills to celebrate with us launching our very first '3' of us exhibition together!! It was lovely to se folks I haven't seen in ages and buddies from the clay collective and bloggers too!! If you didn't make it you missed my tag you're it ang doing the speech tonight!!! ha that was fun hope I remembered to thank everyone and again a Big Thanks to Bec @ Q Gallery and Jan of Barrristers Block Winery for such a great venue.. and a great drop of wine!! and also a big thankyou to Mt Barker Council for the SALA rebate that went towards registering our exhibition with SALA..

So check it out a great night topped off by a soft drink at the Woodside pub and yep we got the gas fire working outside.. c'mon we are potters :P and some very wet feet as I tried to jump the torrent flooding down the road to get into my car for the trek home lastnight and a 15 minute pitstop as I waited for a tow truck to pull a car out of the fence just passed cudlee creek!! what and adventurous night we had..

So '3 Seasons in One Day' exhibition is up for the whole month of SALA, please check it out and buy some great Art, check out the winery and sample a drop we'll be out there some time during the month again on a Sunday probably...if you want to stay in touch drop me your email to angela@angdesign.com.au or find us on facebook 3 Seasons in One Day or Ang Walford Ceramics

happy SALA month Adelaide!!

A few tiles...

Just a few pics before I head off to the Gallery... these are of 'lil birdie on the corner' and One of my new landscape tiles which I've decided to interplace with the the printed tiles...I think they make for a great cohesive story about my current work exploring landscapes and my inside out prints bringing imagery that would usually be on the inside of our dwellings to the outside and on the street corner Edward Hopper was a major influence on the workings of these tiles...

I just ran off some more prints this morning too...it really is great to be visiting printmaking again...I haven't ventured it's way since early college days and all the processes are so much more user friendly now...although i still have black fingernails after this mornings effort...

Anyhoo hope to see you tonight if you can make it 7pm @ Q Gallery Barristers Block Winery 151 Onkaparinga Valley Rd Woodside just down from Melbas Chocolate Factory!!

3 Seasons show sneak peek...

A quick peak from my kitchen shoot this afternoon this is one of the tiles for the '3 Seasons in One Day' Exhibition at Q Gallery Barristers Block Winery Woodside SA.... and just a peak I'll take a couple of set up shots tomorrow at the Gallery...

Some came out better than I expected and some are a learning curve and thats ok because otherwise I'd be bored!! and this way I have a few interesting things to learn from and more things to try out on the next batch of tiles..... but for now some rest is in order and hopefully more healing time for my elbow :))

pre spring has hit...

The pre spring has hit nicely this week and heading for 22C today what more could you ask for!

Yesterday was plinth painting day at Q Gallery, Rose and I headed out to the club to pick up a few extra plinths and after greeting the Plover that has taken residence in the roof again this year we loaded up our cars and headed up into the hills...

Woodside is a very picturesque spot for wkd drives and it's this that we're hoping having a show in the hills will be an added bonus with peeps dropping in on the wkds... Yesterday was stunning up there the sun was out and the Barristers Block Wineries Loos are something to shout about :))

So anyhoo the plinths are all painted up and Wednesday we head up for setting the gallery after a good tidy up and a clean I think it will look great...

Very soon I'll be cracking the kilns for my tile work...so here's hoping that my really slow firing has paid off...and a sneak peek later perhaps....

Anyhoo below is Mud on deck keeping watch this morning at the top of the steps and below a great portrait from my friend Derek...I just love this one!
