Let me take a moment to introduce you to one of my friends, who also happens to be a fabulous ceramicist. Her name is Kylie Johnson and she has been a Brisbane ceramic artist for many years . Her vessels are usually handformed, imprinted with poetry (often her own) and delicate textures. There is usually just a hint of colour. Her work shows are pared back beauty and a restraint that I can rarely muster.
When I started making ceramic jewellery a couple of years ago I was keenly interested in who else was making some and what other type of ceramic jewellery was out there. I didn't find much, and even less that I liked. Although, I did see some lovely black and white pendants for sale at the Queensland Art Gallery and someone told me about this girl who lived in the same suburb as I did who has been making gorgeous ceramic jewellery for years. Didn't have a clue at the time that this was both Kylie and her work!
Kylie also being the sharing soul that she is called me excitedly last week to inform me that Friday night's edition of THE COLLECTORS on the ABC was to feature a segment on a collector of vintage plastics. Love ceramics, but really love my plastics. Thanks Kylie

miss j's work is truly exquisite...
I love Kylie's work too. Her poetry is moving and suits her ceramic wares very well. I love her hand pinched pieces, and have given quite a collection to my sister and mother as gifts.
[…] museum will publish a catalogue of its Persian ceramics in June […]
