I’ve started my blog a few times this week, written the first sentence and then abandoned it. There’s been a lot to do and even more to question. Monday – Bank Holiday, I had to work as I don’t earn […]

→ continued from above The crumpled newsprint I found in the shoes was from a German newspaper, 1941. Why were the shoes put aside at this time? Had the child outgrown them? Died? Had he/she been taken away? I imagine […]

I was preparing a post about thread-drawings when @SoniaBoue, @katemurdochart and I had a little twitter-shoe exchange and I promised to photograph a special pair of booties which, as you will see, in the end, in the beginning, set me […]

Looking back I wanted to go back to when i visited the London Art Fair. I feel it neccessary to actually look at some of the artists works that took my attention at the show. Yu Jin-Young Hidden inner worlds […]

MY ART IS NOT ENTIRELY FINE ART. IT IS PARTLY JUST CRAFT WITH A CONTEXT, THIS MAKES AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE!

Charlotte Hodes I really like Hodes work as she using craft skills and traditions to make her ceramics. I like how feminine they are in colour and context. Also it is rather beautiful how she uses some historical figures in […]

We’re very excited that most of the artwork for our Topography Disarranged exhibition is arriving this afternoon. It’s a bit like Christmas Easter Birthday to await this arrival and unwrapping of so much art and to meet some of the […]

The tour was amazing… Went to the Octagon Gallery in Westfield… lovely little gallery in the basement of the Patterson Library, showing a range of regional artists’ work… fell in love with some pedestal ceramic bowls with feet, fun, brightly […]

(continued from last posting) Oh but my highlight of the day, was visiting Katherine Gullo… http://katherinegullo.com/ This cottage, again, wood clad, sat nestled between trees, back a little from the road, was a joy! From the second I stepped out […]

River Bank This piece began in a similar way to my previous painting ‘Concrete Glass’. It started with an ordinary walk through an urban environment, but in this case, by the side of a small river close to where I […]

After scouring forums for all sorts of complcated ways of making an animated mosaic effect with my photographs, I’ve settled for a basic fix using a simple effect with photographs of the collages I’ve made so that I can get […]

It’s an age-old discussion, that artist-money-job thing, and one I personally find as a practising artist quite tricky to balance. Not just in terms of financial juggling, but perhaps more so the psychological implications it carries. I’ve no doubt this […]

In the Company of Women. Three posts ago, in Comfort Marks I mentioned being invited to a workshop by Clare Smith and Rosie James however, unable to attend, held my own solo workshop. Well happily Clare and Rosie invited me […]

Bathroom odyssey A while ago, around last Christmas in fact, I decided it was high time I turned my attention to the original bathroom in The Ceramic House, which remains the only room untouched by me since moving in 6 […]

I had the most amazing evening last night-The Preview was well attended with 100 people there so a huge thank you to everyone who came to support me. I had lovely comments too and there was much surprise as the […]
