ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Ceramics

Seasaltware is a small batch pottery, located in Margaret River on Wadandi Boodja.

In the studio you’ll find hand built kilns, local clay processing, alternative firing methods and foraged local ingredients for clay bodies and glazes.

Typically high fired stoneware and barrel fired pieces are created. Feature pieces are moonjars, barrel fired vases, wall hangings, porcelain earrings and mugs for your coffee!

Inspired greatly by the ocean, forrest’s and river here in a Margaret River. Pieces typically show a soft coastal colour palette and have a natural and relaxed style.

Wares are made for everyday use, and have been created in the hope that you can take a little bit of Margaret River home in ceramic form.

Wild clay beckons, a barrel lit with fire, hand built kilns and a passion for pots.

Welcome to the Seasaltware Ceramics Studio! See local clay processing, kilns built by hand and alternative firing methods. Feature pieces are moonjars, barrel fired vases, wall hangings, porcelain earrings and mugs for your coffee! Make a pinch pot while you are here!

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

The Seasaltware Studio is surrounded by garden. Semi enclosed by a stone garden wall and sunken into the hill. It’s an open and airy space, filled with birdsong and the swishing of the wind blowing through the tall Marri and Jarrah trees.

Visitors can view my kilns, some are hand built. Take a look at a wheel throwing session, build a pinch pot which I’ll glaze, fire and post to you. See how I process wild clay and prepare pots for barrel firing!
