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. 

I received a MA/Visual Arts/Ceramics in 2019 but I have worked with clay since 1976.    

I graduated with a BA/Performing Arts in 1991 and taught Art/Drama in High Schools for 7 years.

My theatre degree also led me into street theatre/stilt walking and making costumes and wearable art.

All of my past creative pursuits inform my sculptural work in drama, form, texture and colour.

Textiles and mixed media are also part of my art practice.

I enjoy incorporating basketry and plant fibre paper into my work and 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 from 2014 to 2020 when I stopped in order to start building my wood kiln.

My focus now, as an older artist,  is simply to deepen my understanding of wood firing and develop my own ceramic work.

I look forward to quietly making pots and cooking them in fire for the time being.

Qualifications / Training

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