I am enjoying everything that is going on at the moment… I’ve been really busy! My solo exhibition has been going really well, I got back from the gallery at the weekend after discussing a commission that has been requested by one of the galleries customers. He wants me to make 4 large ceramic ‘half’ […]
I’ve been working on a few personalised commissions lately, and now finally have them all complete. All thats left to do is get them packaged and sent to the customers, I really hope they are going to be pleased! This is a dish for a lady I met at one of my local craft fairs, […]
I was reading a really interesting blog today by Alison of AMI Designs (fantastic beaded jewellery maker), who gave away a few tips on how to improve the quality of photographic images. I’d always had trouble photographing my work, as I could never seem to show it off to its full potential. I have now […]
I got a kitten on Sunday!! Molly is 9 weeks old and loves playing with strips of ribbon. Her fave food so far is roast chicken and pumpkin by Applaws, its good stuff! She’s very dependant and seems to always follow my feet wherever I walk, bless her. I’m enjoying buying her lots of little […]
As part of the Northamptonshire Open Studios 2009 programme, I took part amongst up to 100 other local artists/designers who have their work on display at different venues throughout September. I chose to showcase my work at The Evergreen Gallery in Daventry, where I had full use of these four glass shelves… The gallery held […]
I’m really looking forward to this! My last craft fair of 2009 will finish this year off nicely at the Contemporary Craft Shopping Experience, being held at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre near Leamington Spa on Sunday 22nd November. There will be approx 200 stalls and all items for sale will be handmade only. This is […]
I’ve just got back from the International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol after a 4 day event at the Ashton Court Estate (6th – 9th August). I think it was the best event I’ve ever been to, I enjoyed every minute of it, met loads of lovely people, saw some amazing things and sold lots of […]
There are so many to mention but here are my top 5… In 2004 I went to work with Kate Malone at Balls Pond Studio in Islington, London. How was I lucky enough to do this, might you ask? Well I was at college at the time and had always been an admirer of Kate’s […]
After driving down to Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire at the weekend to collect my ‘family of 3’ organic garden sculptures from Showborough House where they were on exhibition in the garden from April to June, they have now been cleaned and packaged up ready to be collected again tomorrow. My sculptures are going to be exhibited […]
I had a lovely relaxing and fun weekend away at the seaside, wish I was still there! The weather was warm and mostly sunny in Skegness where we stayed, so it was nice to be on the beach and I loved feeling the sand inbetween my toes! 🙂 We spend most of the time at […]
It’s so exciting opening the kiln to see bursts of colour and shiny glazes! I’m really pleased with my new range of bowls. A lot of them have coloured glass melted in the bottom which makes them look quite eye catching. I decided to photograph these bowls all together like this, to save uploading individual […]
I was mooching through some of my favourite shops on Folksy today, and couldn’t resist buying this stunning “Summer Mobile Phone Sock”, handmade by Tamsyn G. Can’t wait for it to arrive, my phone is going to look nice and cosy! Although it won’t really need it in this hot weather. What do you buy […]
