Some Resources I Have Found Handy

As a special thanks to the Ceramic Student Association in Brisbane for their contribution to my freight costs, I thought I would provide some resources for my fellow artists, which I have found of interest:
Good reading:
'Japanese Wood-fired Ceramics' by Marc Lancet

'Fantastic Art' by Walter Schurian

Both titles available from www.boomerangbooks.com
or on lend from me when I am home :)

Above - the Fred Olsen kiln in action at Guldagergaard, Denmark!

Good viewing: Ron Mueck DVD - I saw this 25 minute production, based on sculptor Ron Mueck - who was exhibiting in Denmark and in Aberdeen (UK) when I was there. Inspiring account of his processes, techniques and materials. Available from www.nationalgallery.co.uk

Good Googling: http://www.archiebray.org/ A place I may consider in the future(recommended by an Irish artist I met, Michael Moore, who has done a residency at the Archie Bray).

The Collection of images from Priscilla Mouritzen, the Chair of the Board for the International Ceramic Research Center. Amongst a display of Priscilla's own wood-fired work, this site includes images from the woodfiring throughout summer here in Denmark.
