About Sadhana Peterson

My home studio, Lilli Pilli Studio, is situated in the Blue Mountains N.S.W. Australia.

Currently, I work as a potter and sculptor and fire my work in electric and wood kilns. 

Over the past 46 years as an artist  I have worked in various media but now I am predominantly a ceramicist although all of my past creative pursuits do inform my ceramic work.

I have a BA in Performing Arts from UWS ,Nepean Kingswood completed in 1991 and a MA/Visual Arts/Ceramics from ANU, Canberra completed in 2019.

Textiles and mixed media are part of my practice. I enjoy incorporating basketry and plant fibre paper into my  work. Much of the plant material that I use is grown, harvested  and processed from my own garden.

My focus now, as an older artist, is simply to deepen my understanding of wood firing and to play in my studio with joy, intrigue and exploration and without ambition. I look forward to quietly making pots and cooking them in fire into the future.

I believe that no matter how long you have worked at a skill, there is always more to learn.
