2021 was a very busy year with my time taken up by new and old adventures.
Nursing has continued to be a big portion of that time but as the Covid 19 vaccination programme slows down in the UK and finds new ways of being delivered I will be stepping back.
During the summer of 2021 I was introduced to a new space, cleaning, tidying and organising the Ceramic Studio at SGS Stroud College, ready to start my first teaching job. It’s funny how things turn out but it was home from home as this is where my creative journey began and my Foundation Art and Design Diploma course was.
It’s now January 2022 and I am at the beginning of my next teaching term and what a lovely bunch of enthusiastic and inquisitive students I have been landed with (The first bunch of students were brilliant too).
Helping my students has helped me find my way back to making for myself and I have plans for a very productive year continuing explorations with Snakeshole Wild Clay
