It’s always an anxious time when new work gets placed into the kiln, but the stakes are raised when it’s a brand new kiln that has never been fired before. What a relief when the lid is opened and what you see brings a large smile to your face. I am very pleased with the way my work is developing, it’s a positive start to 2020.
2020 is Looming
Slowly but surely I am getting back to making, it is a bit unsettling leaving the RCA for the real world but I am very happy with the way that my most recent work is looking. The image below shows a collection of pieces drying before being ready for firing. The new kiln is in the garage waiting to be unpacked and installed and this week planning permission has been given for a new studio. I am really excited for 2020. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey over the past 2 years. I appreciate everyone of you.

The 2019 British Ceramics Biennial, Stoke on Trent, Spode China Hall, Until 13th October
Time flies by and there are only 2 weeks remaining in which to visit the amazing British Ceramics Biennial. It’s the only chance to see my sculptures which are hung in the atmospheric Spode China Halls. Where they fit in so well they are almost camouflaged, amongst the damp, peeling paint and moss covered walls.
