Making Space 2022 Moreland Council Grant.

I was a recipient of a Making Space grant from the Moreland Council. I used this opportunity to explore the process of reconstituting locally sourced clay found near my home. I created a series of small clay works that reflected my interest in Melrose Ware, the domestic table ware that was created in the ‘art pottery division’ of The Hoffman Brick, Tile and Pottery Company, in Brunswick during the 1930’s. Melrose Ware extensively used indigenous flora and fauna motifs as decorative elements in the work.
