Workshop Update

Slowly but surely… I am getting there with my latest batch of work. I have really enjoyed creating some new style pieces and can’t wait to see the results from the glaze firing. The only thing is, I seem to have produced so much new work that I’m not sure everything will fit into the […]

It’s been a busy week…

Yesterday I completely cleaned out the whole of the workshop, including sorting, tidying and hoovering, in preparation for a big glazing session. (I am more motivated to work when the space around me is clean and […]
