Gregory Blaxland - he of the pioneering crossing of the Blue Mtns with Wentworth and Lawson in 1813 - also contributed to the early development of the vine industry in Australia. He later established a farm near Broke in the Hunter Valley vineyards and the current owners commissioned me to create a mosaic using all the pieces of broken dinnerware, bottles etc dug up during their time there. It was an honour and a delight to work with pieces that Blaxland may well have eaten from.

Made this small oval bowl as an extra gift for them -- from some of the leftover pieces.
