The Jam Factory in Adelaide is a long established craft/art/shop/studio providing facilities/education in Ceramics, Glass, Furniture, and Jewellery and Metal. Years ago I purchased some gorgeous bowls for my wife and they still take pride of place in our lounge today.
Earth Bowl
Born
of Gippsland's gypsum soils
waterfalls
of earth's ochres bubble,
spill across the
furled cream porcelain rim
surge down the
vitreous scarp, inside and out;
eccentric, splashing
streams of hydrated oxide
autumnal shades,
pale yellow, light tan,
burnt orange, dull
cerise,
hug
steep sides,
curl
and swirl,
twist
and eddy,
spiral
down
the funneling alabaster gorge;
rushing beneath the
impervious glaze
rivulets of racing
colour
chase and scurry to
the bowl's base,
blend
imperceptibly
in saucer shaped
sorcery,
surrender
their individual identities,
compose
adjoining pools
of
purest powder blue.
