International Cone Box Show

I am delighted to announce an entry of my pierced porcelain has been shortlisted and selected into the 2012 International Cone Box Show.  A biennial event the Cone Box Show showcases miniature ceramic pieces within the dimensions of 3" x 3" x 6" to fit inside one standard size Orton Cone Box.  If your wondering 'what' Orton cones are?  Orton Pyrometric Cones are used to visually guage that the firing process is under control within the kiln. Cones measure heat work, the effect of time and temperature an aid giving an acurate guide that the kiln has reached its temperature.


Unfortuantely I didn't take a photgraph of my actual entry (naughty me!) however it is pictured on a shelf (a wall mounted top shelf and to the left) in the preview album on their webiste, it is similar in size to the image below on the right however not the same as, of course! These pieces are in the collection of  FaB; Fiona Dempster and Barry Smith.

Feeling very honoured with only two enteries selected from Australia - myself and Greg Daly.  Other countries include; USA, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Scotland, England and Singapore.
