The OSCAS!

The OSCAS, otherwise known as Open Studio Ceramics Australia weekend, sponsored by the Australian Ceramics Association (TACA), was held a couple of weekends ago and encouraged ceramicists throughout Australia to open their studios to the public.

I participated as part of Macquarie Hills Potters and am pleased to report that we had a steady stream of visitors from other ceramicists, members of TACA, curious neighbours  and even a couple of councillors.

Here are a couple of photos of me working on my latest version of our beloved leader - not!

 

Unusually for me, I am not firing him but will be making a plaster mould which I intend to cast in flexible polyurethane foam with a latex skin. This will definitely be new territory for me so keep your fingers crossed!
