Cathy Oddie works from her studio on a family farm in the Greta Valley of North Eastern Victoria. The images painted are influenced by a range of life experiences: travelling the world, studying fine art and everyday country life on the farm surrounded by chickens, goats, cows and dogs. She uses fine white porcelain stoneware clay and vibrant underglaze colours which are bisque fired to approximately 900c. She then applies a clear high sheen glaze which is in turn fired to 1200-1300c. Her works are dishwasher and microwave safe, so the images and colours will not fade or wash off.
