Here are some very rough and blurry photos of our lovely trade fair stand. I apologise for the quality- wasn’t much light during set-up. Thank you to all our customers who visited us at the fair, and made February 2012 one of the best yet. If you have any questions about the product in the pics, please let me know. - Kate.

Last month, we were treated to a beautiful lunch at Guy Grossi’s Merchant.  We are very lucky here at Robert Gordon, to  work with Australia’s best chefs- making, creating, glazing, and firing beautiful custom made pieces for their restaurants. We have worked with Guy Grossi and his lovely wife Melissa for some time now. Merchant is a vibrant, exciting Italian restaurant – it was a joy making the ceramics to match.

The girls, Sally, Sue, Rani and Naisim, who actually glazed and decalled the pieces were thrilled to be able to see them at work.
