The small country town of Deloraine will be buzzing this weekend as hundreds of people that like to play in the mud converge on the little town.
I lifted the following paragraphs in italics straight from the Woodfire Tas website.
WOODFIRE TASMANIA 2011 is an event for potters, sculptors, students, educators, collectors, curators, and anyone else with an interest in the ceramic arts. Delegates will meet distinguished makers from Australia and overseas, and experience their work and working methods at close quarters.
The convener of WOODFIRE TASMANIA 2011 is Neil Hoffmann. Neil has conducted his art practice at Reedy Marsh near Deloraine for nearly thirty years and previously convened the Claydown Tasmania Summer School programs. Neil will be ably assisted by fellow Tasmanian practitioners Ben Richardson, Michael Stephan, Jilli Spencer and Jim Nelson, and a band of enthusiastic volunteers.
I am leaving for Deloraine today.
I am excited.
This is a photo of part of the mountain that towers over Hobart. I adore the Mountain. Look out for this influence in future work.

Have a heap of fun.
Lovely, you’ll have a wonderful time there.
PS That is some mountain!
wow! That is huge! Have a wonderful time 🙂 Enjoy xxx
I love that photo of the mountain. It evokes visions of Hanging Rock. I’m looking forward to seeing how it influences your work.
Have a great time this weekend. Deloraine is a beautiful place with gorgeous scenery. I hope you have a great time 🙂
You’re going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!
I love that hanging rock near the mountain top.
At first I thought that photo was of a weathered old gate post. I’m stunned that it is a mountain – don’t stand too close 🙂
Enjoy. Part of the mountain looks like it’s going to drop any minute. Which makes it an exciting mountain 😉
I’ll be interested to hear how it goes. Sounds wonderful! Have fun 🙂
Oh this sounds like fun. Does it include firing in coals in the ground? I love some fo the stuff that comes out of that!
Sounds wonderful! Deloraine looks like a beautiful spot to be creative.
Oh it’s so good to get back to you! The photo of the mountain you love made my heart flipflop. Have the best time, won’t you? I’ve been to Deloraine twice now. Will you look out for my RayBans? They’re in a shimmering gold/rose quilted pouch and taught me a valuable lesson about NEVER paying more than, oh, $30 for a pair of sunglasses. What a sucker.
HOLY MOLEY! That mountain looks Exactly like a few around here – lots of volcanoes to thank for that.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Hey Kim,

A lovely trip up the east coast. and i am working flat out for a show at the Jane Franklin gallery opening on the 3rd of June so.. couldn’t make it.
