Showcase Gallery, Corner Aberdeen and Beaufort Streets, Northbridge, Perth.  

Opening 6.30pm on 12th February and runs till the 26th.  

Josie and I are friends from the ceramists group Clay Feet.  I've been looking foward to this show a lot, I own one of her smaller works and want more.  Josie handbuilds in Southern Ice porcelain expressing her interest in, well how would you put it, life at a biological cellular level resulting in exquisite cool, smooth, satiny, polished, unglazed, porcelain sculptural  pieces .................... well ScrummY stuff.  More pix later .....     Check out her lovely website .... http://josephinepittman.com

FREE SPEECH

Our blog is fairly new, we get few comments here.  I got one today, a snitty one liner deriding some work, sent by that infamous coward 'Anonymous'.  When I comment on people's blogs I reveal my identity and it is often a positive remark, constructive criticism or a technical question - which in turn opens an exchange of info. with the artist involved.   To quote Thumper's mother (in Disney's 'Bambi') I say 'If you can't say something good, don't say nothin' at all' - but that creates an imbalance of opinion, I get that.  I do say though, if you aren't being kind, helpful or useful - shut up.  There!  You've been edited!
