MILTON MOON TRIBUTE AN IDEA NEEDING TO BE MADE

Editor Vicki Grima says: These pages are full of stories about porcelain from the potters and artists in Australia who are pushing the boundaries of this amazing material. The challenges posed by smooth white clay are many and varied, and the results are as diverse as you can imagine. Ebony Russell pipes gooey porcelain to recreate her memories of childhood; Steve Sheridan shares his personal methods of working with porcelain; Jack Balfour recycles porcelain using a self-built contraption; and John Manning makes the best succulent pots I’ve seen in a long time! … and loads more as always!
