Springtime in Tasmania!

This is what greets me at the gate when I come home from the gallery.

shearers cottage

our rustic home for the next year or so while we build our house – an old shearer’s cottage at gray (mt elephant, tasmania)

we’ve had this book (and others by the same author) for years

when it came time to find a name for my business, it seemed fitting to use its title

cecil roberts wrote this book to describe his renovation of a cottage outside london in the 1930’s, just before the second world war

london has now swallowed up this rural idyll, but we believe the cottage still exists

recently i had the privilege of attending the opening of linda burns’ first solo exhibition at the golden gate gallery, mathinna, tasmania

this is the final post showing photos of this exhibition – but certainly not the last we’ll hear of this talented artist

a range of beautifully constructed bowls and a geometrically decorated platter –

some serving dishes –

a selection of bowls decorated in similar glazes –

and bowls in more earthy colours –

last – but definitely not least – the historic cottage which is the golden gate gallery

if you would like to visit the gallery, check out a map of the area first so you don’t get lost – just type mathinna, tasmania in the search box
