The annual Desert Mob festival, which includes an exhibition of remote community art works and market stalls over 2 days, is fast approaching.

This is a very exciting event because communities and art centres from all over Central Australia come together to show off their art and craft for this one time of year. There will be music and theater and so many people.
Titjikala art centre has been incredibly busy as paintings and pots are finished and fired.

Monday morning is always the busiest day as I am sure most people will agree but today seemed to fly by with only one cup of tea in the afternoon (that is uncommon for me). 

Sandra and I were making large hand built coil pots from Terracotta so that they could be painted with white slip ready to be decorated with sgraffito lines.   

This was the first day Sandra started hand building and I think she is a natural.
