Tourist Tower double vase, as part of Peek Hour on

Tourist Tower double vase, as part of Peek Hour on show at @michaelreidclay. When I was making this, I kept imagining arriving to this unknown city, seeking out this tower, heading up the lifts to level 85 and ordering a drink (probably a $28 cocktail called the "ViewMaster" or "City Slicker" or something) and taking photos of the touristy sunset views (instead of just looking at it IRL) while complaining about how overpriced the drinks are. Ahh travel, I miss it. See that bit on the right of the vase that cantilevers out? That's the viewing deck. That's where I'll be. ⁠⁠

"Peek Hour" on show now at @michaelreidclay @studiodirect_michaelreid. I called it "Peek Hour" for three reasons:⁠⁠
1. Boy, do I love a pun. ⁠⁠
2. Windows (shutters, oculus windows, blinds) were a big influence on this series... hence the "peek" 👀⁠⁠
3. When all lined up, this series appears like a cityscape of skyscrapers and towers. And I often thought about what rush hour would feel like in a city like this. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you're in Sydney, go check out Peek Hour, showing alongside the stunning works of @emilybesser. Catalogue available in my link in bio. ⁠⁠

A little look at “Peek Hour” (👀🕚) which opened yesterday at @michaelreidclay @studiodirect_michaelreid. I’ve been working on this collection since July and I’m so pumped (and cold sweating) to finally have it out in the world. If you’re in Sydney, check it out! I’ll share more images of the show over the coming days. Thanks to @amber_creswell_bell for her support and curation. Head to the link in bio to see the full catalogue!

Haven’t posted in a month! But for good reason - I’ve been busy working through the break on a collection of new pieces heading to @michaelreidclay in Sydney for my show ‘Peek Hour’ (pun intended... of course). These four friends will be part of the show. Sign up to the Michael Reid newsletter to find out when the catalogue is available!

Now I’m taking a couple of weeks off to recharge, go to some galleries, and head to Brisbane to see mum and eat her delicious Filipino food that I’ve been missing since March!

Hey Melburnians! Now that you can bust through the ring of steel, why not head to Bendigo! I have lots of new work showing at the Table Matters exhibition, alongside the amazing @sharonalpren and @pom_me_granite, curated by the super @wovenspoke. On at the Living Arts Space until January. Online catalogue coming soon!

AND while you’re there, head next door to Post Office Gallery to see an exhibition of the @bendigopottery archive. AND AND there’s more ceramics over at @bendigoartgallery with Prue Venables’ incredible work on show (and obviously while you’re there check out the Piinpi: Contemporary Indigenous Fashion which is just awesome and free).

I went to all four exhibitions yesterday and boy did I sleep well last night. 🏃🏻‍♀️😅 Check out my stories for a quick look.

Nurturing creative and design talent is very impor

Nurturing creative and design talent is very important to me, so I’m really excited to be on the jury for the @patron 60 Hands - Pay It Forward - Patrón Tequila’s initiative which gives back to grassroots and community craftspeople with a $25,000 grant. This initiative is all about paying it forward to the Australian creative community, and the grant is open to craftspeople of all ages and disciplines – from chefs to sculptors, industrial designers, interior designers, architects, jewellers and artists – and yes, even my fellow ceramicists are invited to enter! I can’t wait to join the judging panel and see all the awesome entries. Applications for the grant are open now until midnight 23 October through the website https://patronau.com.

New issue of Artichoke is out now! And it also marks ten years this week of working at Architecture Media! 🎉(👩🏻➡️👵🏼)

I’ve run the numbers and...
• That’s 44 issues of @artichoke_magazine (and 27 as editor).
• That’s about 4656 pages of content.
• That’s helping out on 174 issues of @housesmagazine, Architecture Australia, @landscapeau and just about anything else we print.
• That’s hosting 100+ events, awards, Artichoke Night Schools and conferences.
• That’s roughly 167,000 kilometres in flights.
• And that’s about 17,500 industry event canapés 🍤 (no regrets).

Thanks to the Architecture Media team for the last ten years and @cameronjamesbruhn for hiring this Queensland girl all those years ago. 💙
