From the All Hand Made newsletter:

254 Bronte Road, Waverley 2024 T/f +61 02 9386 4099 [email protected] www.helenstephensgallery.com This Saturday December 12, is our last trading day at All Hand Made and Helen Stephens Gallery. There is a 10 percent discount on all items even the specialist one off items by some of our major Australian Contemporary studio ceramic artists. Don’t rely on the website for stock since we can’t keep it up to date. Better to call by and see what we have. We still have some of our smaller inexpensive ceramics by several artists including Cath O’Gorman”s pourer jugs, little dishes and shells, brightly painted cups, earthernware bowls and plates. Keiko Matsui has made a selection of her wonderfully quirky hand painted porcelain bowls and jugs in blue and white and also oribe style bowls and sake set. There are also our patty cake candle holders in red, green and white and just a few of our AHM Gallery slip cast jugs and lots more by more than 20 individual makers . We also have textiles: table runners, Indian cotton table cloths and napkins, place mats, summer scarves, cloth bags and even soft toys. Over the years we have made our reputation for our unique style because these artists have come to us with their “labours of love”. The exhibition and sale of ceramics and artwork from a private collection will continue in Helen Stephens Gallery until December 12. This exhibition can be checked out on the website. www.helenstephensgallery.com An additional exhibit is a new body of work by Phil Elson. Phil spent four months last year in Barcelona as a recipient of an Australia Council residency grant. Phil, as many of you will know, makes beautiful porcelain wheel thrown bowls . This body of work in translucent unglazed porcelain is more sculptural though still essentially functional forms influenced he says by the size and shape of the buildings dominating the skyline in Barcelona. In the stockroom we have discounts on paintings and works on paper and some ceramics. I look forward to welcoming you in the shop and in the gallery over the next few days. If you are having trouble getting here please call 029386 4099 or 0410037359 and I will make sure I’m here to open the doors for you. Thanks for your continuing support over the years.
