Introducing Red Echidna Studios: Barry Wemyss Ceramic Artist | Bookbinder | Sculptor Its the journey that matters; if its not enjoyable, change direction. Memories of growing up in a landscape of remnant goldfields - mineshafts,clay-pits, abandoned huts, forests and farmland was clearly evident in Barry’s selection of earthy art-forms and rustic glazes during this time; much of which he brings into play today, along with gained inspiration from his travels in broader fields. Following his first solo exhibition in Melbourne, and being the receipt of a travel award, Barry’s journey led him to Japan where he followed the Old Kiln Trails; meeting and studying with prominent potters of Kyoto, Tokaname and Hagi. This experience heightened his already gained interests in Japanese ceramics - particularly teapots, beakers, bottles and bowls - from which Barry’s first two awards were for wood-fired Sake Bottle forms. redechidnastudios/
