I am really excited, so excited in fact, that I keep on hugging myself and having a quiet, girly squeee.
I have just been accepted into the ceramic co-operative,“Off Centre”.
I was approached by one of the partners a few weeks ago and invited to join the co-op. I had to submit photographs of my work to be approved by the whole group at their monthly meeting. I didn’t realize how nervous I was until I received an email the other night saying that my submission had been successful. (Time for another girly squeee)
For those of you who don’t know your way around Hobart, Off Centre has a shop, upstairs in the Salamanca Arts Centre in Salamanca place, opposite the Long Gallery . This is right in the heart of the arty/touristy area of the waterfront. There are a lot of small galleries and specialty shops down there as well as the famous Salamanca market which is held every Saturday.
All together now Squeeeee!!!
So here I am sitting in front of the computer trying to concentrate on writing this post with my head full of ceramic dreams. I am watching the sky begin to colour up as the sun rises and it looks like it is going to be another lovely day. I spent most of the day yesterday making my slipcast tall cups, some shells and bottles as well. I will spend today finishing those off and making some more as I need to have some work together for the shop by the first of May, which is less than a fortnight away. Eeeek!
I have started work on some hand built platters as well as more rock bowls. I have a prototype of something blue with butterflies for Tiff drying out and I have started work on the four cups I promised Brenda.I am thinking of something for my chocolate fairy and I also need to make some cups for a friend in WA, as well as get some work together to display in a twitter friend’s cafe gallery here as well. Phew. The dragon eggs are simmering away in the back of my mind and I need to remember to contact the trustees of the Chauncy Vale wildlife sanctuary to confirm my outdoor exhibition there next year.
So I am a tad busy at the moment.

Like Watershedd, I’m now looking forward to being there later this year more than ever, if that’s possible. An Off Centre visit is about to be typed into my Happy Holiday list.
