emerging artist: Cherie Peyton

My name is Cherie Peyton and I live in Sydney, Australia.  I originally
attended evening pottery classes in the early 90s when my sons were
small – I enjoyed it so much I never stopped.  I now teach wheel
throwing and porcelain jewellery evening classes myself for our Local
Community College and love passing on my knowledge and skills to
newcomers.  The kinds of pots I enjoy making are large carved bowls, I
am intrigued by tree roots and branches which have a big influence in my
pots.  Flowers are another favourite of mine and I also love making
porcelain roses and the porcelain jewellery.

Want
to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is
send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a
website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging
artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my
spam folder that would be great. Thanks! 

The work of Christina Bryer

From her website:

“Christina Bryer has been working as an artist and designer since 1980. Her background is in jewellery design, then in 1998, she studied ceramics in London.

When she encountered Penrose’s aperiodic tiling, she began incorporating the principles into her porcelain plates. Her work is therefore based on the highest forms of geometry, yet the same patterns are found in unicellular organisms, and a cross-section of a strand of DNA, and has been called the geometry of life. Aperiodicity also describes a slice through 5th dimensional hyper-space – the geometry of the cosmos.”View more incredible work on her website here.
