Last week in Canberra...

Judith was in Canberra last week for a family wedding and seized the opportunity to visit Auckland ceramic artist John Parker who is working on a new body of work as artist in residence at the Australian National University in the School of Art ceramics workshop.

The sump-oil fired black work he has produced is quite amazing…

See his fascinating blog…http://parkerejohn.blogspot.com.au

…the kiln used for the sump-oil firing

…see John's blog site for pics of the amazing transformation of these vessels

…work almost ready for final firing
