mid-January 2020 NewsIn the studios
With no-one else working in either of my two studios, I’m flat-out making and reading. For social stimulus I'm listening to clay post casts, posting my zig-zag progress on Instagram, and chatting to other's in a similar situation. This is my traditional January practice as I generate the beginning of new works and direction, without the distraction of teaching. Drop over and say “hi”. US international paper clay exhibition update: 2020-2021 The Particle & Wave exhibition next opens at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art in Utah State University: January 24 - May 2, 2020.

When done I’ll put links from here. If you want a taste of the paper clay inspired contemporary dance by WAAPA student choreographer Isabel Wartmann, with dancers Karlia Cook and Isobelle Collie, or to be alerted when they are all edited and uploaded (final artist's and dance video), follow my twitter. Studio Newsletter As I'm still in holiday mode, I and most of the Robertson Park studio artists have yet to write up our short summation of 2019 and plans for 2020, to be included in the annual 1 page newsletter. Once done, it’ll go up here. So If you visit that webpage, use the popup that appears to sign up to receive this annual one page newsletter as an email. Hopefully by then I’ll know which of the China, Lapland and NZ projects will be going ahead! 2020 Studio Classes
Established in 1998, my studio based classes continue in 2020. I now know how many previous students are continuing, so have posted gaps for new students here. No gaps left or you don’t want to start immediately? Just click on any class, and then try to book in. Then click on the small faint grey eye icon (near the "book now” or "Buy a Gift Card” button), to get an email alert for future new student gaps. Perth Studio: Paper Clay Introduction and Master classes Every three or so months I run a one day paper clay workshop within my space in Robertson Park Artists Studio, in inner city Perth. These are either a fun introduction to paper clay, or a one day master class especially for people already using paper clay or experienced with conventional clay. Link to this and enrolment for both is here. Social media? You can also click on your preferred social media icons at the bottom of this web page to see or read more. All the best in 2020! cheers
