welcome to grakay!
You'll find the pottery studio on our bio-dynamic farm in the Sunshine Coast hinterland near Conondale/Maleny (in South East Queensland, Australia).
My work is mostly thrown porcelain, soda-glazed and wood-fired; individual functional and decorative works.
Recently I have been hand-building, large 'story' pots. Whimsical drawings and a narrative are used to decorate the slipped surface before firing in a gas kiln.
Kiln formed one-off glass pieces are a new interest.
Individuals and Galleries Australia wide, including, in QLD; Brisbane, the Sunshine coast, the Gold Coast and Northern QLD, the New England and other regions of NSW, the ACT, Stanthorpe Regional Gallery and the Australian National University, have acquired my work.

You'll find more
pictures of my work in the gallery.
As a working artist, I take commissions and hold workshops for small groups. You can contact me about commissions and workshops.
I hold workshops at my studio on our farm or at other venues
when we don't need direct access to a kiln. Workshops for
different ages and experiences, from children to seniors, are available. Some are detailed here workshops
