This bowl was a birthday gift from my Amy (my sister) and Paul (her husband). I carried it home from London as hand luggage and am very glad that it is still in one piece. It is much too nice to hide in a cupboard so I am keeping it in my studio to hold my small collection of artist trading cards.
I am very partial to glass objects, especially those that combine beautiful form with function. When I was looking for small house gifts to give to our home exchange hosts, I set off to the two gallery stores of The Society of Arts & Crafts of New South Wales situated in the historic area of downtown Sydney known as “The Rocks”. I was not disappointed as I found some small glass platters with a blue wave motif – perfect for reminding our friends of their time at the beach at Copacabana.
I got to talking with the staff and, to cut a long story short, was invited to join in the forthcoming exhibition of The North Shore Craft Group Inc:
