Queensland Home Garden Expo 2010

The big weekend with the two major events I've been busy working toward has arrived; Home Garden Expo and the Abbey Medieval Festival. It's all started happening...today I set my Farm Y'Art display at the Home Garden Expo

Farm Y'Art! ...All made in clay, a taste of nostalgia that won't rust away.

...and come tomorrow I will be setting up my table display at the Abbey Medieval Festival.

Queensland Home Garden Expo 2010

I've had a jam packed year, currently I'm working towards two major projects; the Abbey Medieval Festival 10 + 11th July and the Qld Home Garden Expo 9 + 10+ 11th July... and it just so happens they both fall on the same weekend!

I've lived in the country since I left the city lifestyle some 20yrs ago, in this time working in the Hortuculture industry, prior to my becoming a full-time Artist. My love of being one with the garden and collecting rusted treasures of cream cans, shovels, milking buckets, the ole sycille and sythe to decorate and surround myself and house with, was only obvious that in time the desire to make and mimic them would happen.

For 7 years now I have set my Farm Y'Art up in the Agricultural Hall with a group of folk from Suncoast Clayworkers, founded by Jackie Gasson (fellow potter from Eudlo). My retail background coming to the fore with my product range growing with each year; now exhibiting cream cans, cartwheels, axe, hoe, sythe, kettles, buckets..... watering cans.
