You’re in good company with those beautiful ceramincs, Kim. Well done. Working with raw materials that require a kiln or annealer is the amazing activity. I miss my ceramics and glass blowing days lessons.

The racism that floats not so deep below the surface in this country is not the sole problem of Tassie. Our Indigenous people feel they are treated and seen as less than every race, by every race, including Indians, Asians and Muslims. Sharing life with an Indigenous advocate has been an enormous eye opener, leading to disillusionment on my behalf.

I get that feast or famine of words, too. Lately I’m feasting. Two weeks ago? Famine.

Racism sucks. That’s all there is to say. Haters suck, prejudices suck.

I love your little cucumbers. They look so healthy!

hi kim – just wanted to say i have been growing vegies in pots for a few years due to space and avoiding dog damage and the climbers love a circle of wire – i use dog fence wire – which i usually put in when i first plant so it is deep in the pot.
also congrats for the mention of your lovely plate! and thanks for the link to this website as well as i have been really enjoying the exposure to some ceramics…. thinking of the future…

I love Tassie but there is a lot of subtle racism.

Racism and contempt. There is far too much of that in the world. If only there were some way to make them all see that we’re ALL people regardless of colour or heritage.

I clicked and looked at the pic, and if I were a logger, I would have NO IDEA that this was some sort of aboriginal structure. Was it marked at all? I was a bit unclear from looking at the article.

I lived in Aus. for about two years and never met an Aborigine. Apparently they did not exist in my suburb. Not one.
