birds on blocks...

I LOVE these birds on the blocks... Hennie Meyer has evolved his squares to rectangles with the sweetest little birds on them... from Mossie, Jan Frederik, Cinderella Waxbill, Tjou-tjou, Bontrokkie etc. combined with beautiful nudes...

Could I have one of these too?

Please... ; )

Ceramic Conversations

An amazing wall of vases is the first thing that catches your eye at the gorgeous "Ceramics Conversations" exhibition! The vases are exquisite and actually hold water! ; ) What an beautiful installation!

Hennie Meyer & Clementina van der Walt perusing & discussing the works...

I love these bowls of sunshine, red earth, pastures and pools! It looks as though Hennie has just captured these elements and harnessed them in these stunning serving dishes! I want one!

And this old kitchen food cupboard belongs in my home! Who would not love cooking if they have such beautiful crockery? Even I would start cooking awesome meals!

And this item you have to see for yourself! How is it even humanly possible that that clay can look transparent? This vase looks as though it has small stained glass elements in it, but nope it's just glaze... and needless to say it is high on Hennie's list of FAVOURITES!!!

So go and see it! It just an exquisite exhibition and run's until 15 January 2011. And the venue is superb! Irma Stern's house is just and awesome experience... a window into her soul!

You are invited to...

See you there!!!

sit...

We had to make mini chairs in ceramics class for the last THREE WEEKS! And this is the result thereof... the chairs could be famous or fanatasy. This then formed part of an exhibition at Rust en Vrede in Durbanville, called SIT, running until 26 June 2008.

I made a couple of Gerrit Rietveld's famous Zig-Zag chairs.

The clay museum is also at Rust en Vrede. There I got hold of a copy of Ceramics SA Cape Region Calender of events 2008, and I discovered that they had a photograph of my bunnies on the front! I was so so sooooo impressed! My bunnies with saggar grass blades are third from the top, second from the right. YAY!!!

hennie's exhibition

I attended Hennie Meyer's Ceramic Exhibition at Clementina van der Walt's Gallery in Cape Town and what a turn-out! The space is gorgeous! (Tomorrow I will show you pics of the courtyard.)
This is more or less the exhibition that Hennie had at the KKNK, but it is now showing in Cape Town for all of us who could not make the KKNK.

This is my favourite bowl!

And this my favourite piece on the exhibition! (I am such a sucker for crosses...)

So go and check it out if you have time...

hennie meyer...

@ the KKNK (Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunste Fees)! Just a sneak preview of what Hennie exhibited at the festival. Over the weekend I will get some more pics and post them. I just love the versatility of the installation, as seen on the posters in the background.

Brilliant blocks!

These brilliant blocks are my latest art aquisition, and I am SO chauffed with them! I got them from HENNIE MEYER, my ceramics teacher. He is exhibiting a selection of blocks, an amazing installation of jugs, as well as two stunning illustrated ceramic wall panels at KULTIVARIA in Paarl, starting today and ending on Monday 24 September. It will definately be worth a visit and I will be checking it out on Saturday.
