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, gas or wood kilns. I  have a MA/Visual Arts/Ceramics and have worked with clay since 1976.    

I also have a BA/Performing Arts from my earlier life which led me into making costume and wearable art and continues to inform my sculptural work.

Textiles and mixed media also play an important role in my art practice. I enjoy incorporating basketry and plant fibre paper into my work which I often combine with my ceramics. Much of the plant material that I use is grown and harvested from my own garden.

I was teaching pottery to small groups at Lilli Pilli Studio up until 2020 when I stopped and started building a wood kiln.

My focus now is simply to deepen my understanding of wood firing and develop my own work.

Qualifications / Training

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