Jeanette has been giving basket workshops at Bulleen Art & Garden for a number of years.
I am a Stone Sculptor – ‘a carver of stone’
“I sculpt in clay because I find the creative possibilities of clay fascinating and compulsive. Creatures with vitality, energy and personality can emerge from a lump of dirt. Ceramic sculpture can explore many diverse forms. It is a means of expression and communication of ideas and, importantly, humour. My frogs, dragons, people and other creatures seem to develop a life and energy of their own.”
“My recent work in mosaics has been inspired by my appreciation of both ancient and contemporary mosaics from Greece, Turkey, Italy & Spain.
My rambling garden supplies a never ending source of inspiration. The mosaic materials I use include hand made slumped glass, fine glass tiles, shells, ceramics old and new, jewellery and recycled items.”
