Canberra was fantastic last week. At the Australian National University I was immersed in clay, learning so much from Janet De Boos and Greg Daly. I cant recommend the ANU ceramics course highly enough. I made some new ceramic friends and learnt a few new throwing techniques as well.
While I was in Canberra I did some family tree research and I want to sincerely thank the soldier who placed a poppy on the wall of remembrance for one of my relatives. The Australian War Memorial has so much to see. Discovery and Interaction, exhibits and a research area – not to mention some great sculptures. The memorial dome and the eternal flame are places to sit awhile and remember those who gave their lives.
and then it was home to my studio to contemplate how lucky I am to be able to play with clay and to check out other ceramicists like my friends at Mud Colony – check them out – http://mudcolony.blogspot.com.au/

Great post Deb..glad everything is humming for you..remember ‘the harder you work the luckier you get’
You have been busy. Yes a very moving place the war memorial…
Thanks Anna – I am working on an art pieces for a tribute to my father cousin and it has been a wonderful journey
How nice of someone to place a poppy for your relative in the memorial.
Thanks Linda – They are so nice at the War Memorial and I thought it would be a good photo of a serving member to place the poppy on one of his fallen mates.
not sure if my comment took, nice someone placed the poppy for your relative.
