Excited to be putting together some new equipment for the studio on a Saturday night in prep for tomorrows, monthly Sunday ceramic class.
Anyone know what these are?

I have 2 of them. Sooo excited..
...

“Hands deep in earth, spinning clay,
Creating form from shapeless play.
A vessel born from simple dirt,
A work of art, a thing of worth.

The wheel spins round, a soothing sound,
As fingers guide the clay, unbound.
Mold and shape, with gentle touch,
Into a form that's loved so much.

The joy of pottery, a peaceful art,
A chance to let creativity start.
To take the earth and make it new,
To shape and mold, to make it true.

A masterpiece, a piece of heart,
Born from the clay, and the potter's art.
A thing of beauty, a work of grace,
A symbol of our human race.

So come and sit, and spin the wheel,
And feel the joy of clay so real.
For in this art, there's much to find,
And joy and peace for heart and mind.”

A little prose to start the day..

Posted @withregram • @thehiveoceangrove CONNECTION begins tomorrow with the Meet the Artists Opening Saturday 4th March 2-4pm. All are welcome to 'examine the ties that bind us'.

Torquay based Karen Steenbergen has built on her love and connection to architecture and design and included her connection to the Victorian High Country in her "Dinner Plain" Series. Spending several weeks skiing at Mt Hotham and staying in Dinner Plain, she observed the unique building codes and architectural style of the houses there. To Karen, it seemed like a contemporary take on the mountain cattleman's huts that were built in the remote high plains in the late 1800's.
This pieces are handbuilt and continue the story first explored in her Denmark residency in 2022.

A sneak peak while photographing work in readiness for drop off to @thehiveoceangrove gallery
for the upcoming group ceramic exhibition ‘connection’, opening March 3-26th, 2023, opening event March 4th, 2-4pm.
I recently discovered the Grasstree Park Reserve in Torquay, not far from my new house/studio and instantly ‘connected’ with the Grasstree sandy environment and it took me straight back to summer holidays spent at Wilson’s Promontory with family, hiking between all the grasstrees there.
Come and join me for a walk through the Grasstrees, and ‘see’ the varying natural sculptures and complimentary colour tones of the Grasstree park.

Join me at the exhibition opening on March 4th, between 2-4pm for a glass of bubbly as we ‘connect’ with nature and stroll through the park.

Glaze testing session, at the midway class of the 6 Week session course. Looking forward to seeing what the combinations everyone chose, come out like. These will help us choose how to glaze all the pieces made during the term, in the last session in a few weeks.
Can’t believe we have just finished session 4, the term is speeding by.
If you would like to go on the waitlist for the Autumn term, starting just after Easter, send me a DM or email info@karensteenbergen.com or text Karen on 0417 539343.

Another sparkly construction machine video: anyone else love watching big machinery doing their thing?

Can’t wait to have a sparkly new driveway and path to the new studio. We moved the driveway just a bit to the left.
...

Exciting morning at the studio/house: driveway and path construction well on the way.
And a sneak park of the studio from the side entrance.

Studio already looks worn in: but still a few things to reorganise now that classes have started and I have idea for better functionality.
So good to have my kiln back and on its legs for the first time, now it’s found it’s forever home.

If you would like to join me for a term class, or party, work do, hens party, bucks party, or just a friends get together, hit me up for some ideas for an afternoon or evening you’ll never forget.
...

Christening the new studio:
After moving and unpacking for most of January, was awesome to welcome back regular students, to the monthly Sunday workshop, and test out the new kARsT Ceramics studio.
Lots of champagne, crepes, duck, cake by Lee, flowers by Lee, oh and some pottery as well. 😄

Classes are running on Friday mornings, afternoons and sat mornings: if you would like to go in the waitlist for term 2, just send a DM, email classes@karensteenbergen.au
Or text on 0417 539343.

Check out website karensteenbergen.au for more class info.

Great start to 2023. 🥳🥳
