Skepsi always curate a vast selection of potter and ceramist in the 'barn' gallery. Here are my favourite two pieces from all angles because:

1. I couldn't get to Sydney to see Jane Sawyer's solo exhibition Rain Shadows at Mansfield Gallery and,
2. Everything Tania Rollond does is magnificent and I love this looser body treatment.
