Denise McDonald
Resume
Denise is a potter based in Sydney, who is known for her contemporary ceramic designs which contain a hint of nostalgia.
Over the years, she has produced several ranges of ceramic tableware that celebrate our unique Australian flora, heritage decorative patterns and motifs, found textures and rich glazes. Her most popular work features a 100-year-old flannel flower pattern sourced from a Federation house in Sydney.
Denise has been included in various exhibitions and awards over the last decade such as Innercity Clayworkers Gallery, Kerrie Lowe Gallery, Royal Easter Show Arts and Crafts, Holmesglen TAFE, Craft NSW.
Denise likes to take students step-by-step through the challenge of working on the potters' wheel, breaking the complexities down into simple bits. Once established with these basics, she then encourages students to experiment and loosen up on the pottery wheel.
Denise completed a Diploma of Art (Ceramics) at Holmesglen TAFE (Vic) in 1997 and continues to make ceramic tableware (art for everyday living) as DM Pottery since 2009.
