Auckland Art and Craft Fair

So I'm really excited to have been chosen to be one of the vendors for the Auckland Art and Craft Fair - http://aucklandfair.blogspot.com. It's a fabulous event with a great selection of vendors. I was interviewed and you can find my interview here - http://aucklandfair.blogspot.com/2011/05/artist-interview-shellyduck-ceramics.html.

To be ready for the fair I have been doing lots of painting. I've taken a few photos of the painting process.

1. Arrival of teapots. I get my ceramics from Studio Ceramics and its wonderful (if a little daunting) to get big boxes full of teapots, cups saucers etc. All ready to be painted...

In the meantime I prepare my templates..

I copy the image on to the ceramics with carbon paper and then paint over this.

A couple of teapots ready to be glazed and fired.
