Sunday in the Life of Bridget Mason

Bridget has been honing her skills as a ceramic artist for the past several years. Originally a wheel potter, Bridget has blended her ceramic skills with her life long love of popular culture and techniques that lean into elements of reproduction. Bridget’s evolution into ceramic sculpture allowed her to explore her love of nostalgia and shared memories. Exploring what we have in common and tell stories through sculpture.

Draw what inspires you, where you’d rather be and your Sunday dinner!

Bridget’s children helped out with this drawing, as she “loves the way small humans see the world”

What was your first encounter with No Vacancy?
No Vacancy was a Thursday night drop in favorite, a relaxed blur between social agenda and art inspiration. I have fond memories of seeing early works of Meggs and Numskull from back in the day. Having my recent project for Melbourne design week showcased in the Gallery Caf is an honor, knowing I have always been in awe of the artists that showcase in No Vacancy.

What are you working on currently?
I have just finished my 111 days artwork, 111 reclaimed porcelain jaffles. I am in the early stages of developing a collection on iconic T-shirt prints on porcelain.

How do you like to spend your Sundays?
I am an obsessive gardener, I love native Australian plants and I am always found lost in my garden. When I have to get out, it’s a Sunday drive down the coast in the original family ride our 1973 Ford Falcon, with of course a compulsory fish and chip stop.
