Linburn Handmade

Join me at the 2025 Canberra Potters Christmas Fair! While this image is of my dinnerware, I set myself the fun challenge of making 100 cups/mugs/ beakers for the fair. Each different- something to fit every hand 😊 come check them out! (There are also centrepiece bowls, vases and a few fun pieces to cash and carry this silly season!!) And it’s not just me- Discover beautifully handcrafted ceramics from 18 local ceramic artists!!

🗓️ Friday 5 to Sunday 14 December
🕙 Extended hours: 10am to 4pm
📍 Canberra Potters Gallery
1 Aspinall Street, Watson 2602.

☺️ Nice to see my work out in the world.

is a most delightful (& dangerous, if you have a ceramics habit) place to visit. Comprising a gallery, shop & big maker space out the back, the folks working there exude happy creativity. I picked up these delights from the talented : figuring, if it’s for The Kindred, it’s not ACTUALLY shopping, it’s work, non?

Happy new year.
Wishing you all a cup of kindness.

So- I think I have some of the Christmas presents you’re gonna give. 🙂Get in touch, come by my Inner north Canberra/Belco studio or head to the Canberra Potters Society (Watson) as I just dropped off a big box mugs, bowls, vases, bud vases and large serving bowls. Just a thought.

I teach pottery. These pots were made by some of my students. With the lockdown happening, I’m missing seeing them all! We’ll be back though. Stay tuned.

Thanks for your patience with order related things and awaiting my reply. I really appreciate it, and your kindness in this strange time.

Some delays are directly lockdown related, others are somewhat lockdown related. I haven’t forgotten you.

If you saw my bottle post from earlier in the week, you might be thinking this one looks a little different. You’d be right. 👍

I’m a fan of plants inside. Growing and cut things. I love vases all about the place; this is one was painted by a dear friend of mine.

I’ve got a few vases in stock if you find yourself holding a bunch and wondering where to put them down- far nicer than a bucket.

Has lockdown left you feeling like a piece of modern art?

Friends, be kind. Wake up to a nice cup of tea and try not to watch the news so much. Take care.

Though my work is tidy and neatly finished, I do end up with a lot of lovely mess and washing to do!- Aprons, arms, glasses, the wall…

Here are three large bowls in the making. These have been thrown and trimmed, ready to fire - They are not yet spoken for, so, if you’ve got a bowl shaped hole in your life or know someone who does- be in touch. 👍
