The creation of a pot…
A life in clay
I grew up in a family of artists, as we travelled through Europe and Asia. Choosing this path was seen as a valid career, for which I am very grateful.
I went to Sydney College of the Arts in 1981, and found my home in the Ceramics Department.
I worked as a production potter near Orange, then Bathurst for many years, before we moved to Verona near Cobargo. We have an 86 acre farm where we raise cattle and love this vibrant, musical, artistic community.
I still get a thrill when I enter my studio or open a kiln. I always have ideas I want to chase up, thoughts for the next direction.
Its been a wonderful journey so far….
Technical
I have been using Walkers 10, porcelaineous stoneware, for most of my career. I love its purity and smoothness which is like skin.
I have a Venco wheel and a deairing pug mill.
I made my kilns, which are gas-fired fibre kilns.
I make my glazes, with some recipes I have inherited from other potters, and some I have developed myself.
“From start to finish, working with Zulima was pleasant and stress free. The florals for the wedding were perfect and beyond what we could have imagined.”
