DANDELION CLOCKS You tell the time: puff as hard as you can to blow the seeds off – ONE O'CLOCK – blow again – TWO O'CLOCK – blow again – THREE O'CLOCK blow until all the fairies have blown away […]
Space is getting whiter and brighter by the miniute! made some pretty handy 'hurdles' to attach my scrolls, there was the problem of a brick wall but not anymore! the boarding tema have finally left our space so can get […]
Well I feel very supported.. Several large stores have taken to folding their cardboard very neatly as opposed to lovelessly throwing it into their respective skips.. Good people helping me get the maximum amount of womble-activity accomplished.. don't forget I […]
It is very hard to restart after a fall. I have been rejected for a studio space at Cockpit Arts after an interview that I thought had been successful. On top of this my kiln broke and I now have […]

It's a really strange week so far. We all got together Monday morning at a meeting, the major happenings were outlined. We get our spaces on the 6th. we get student helpers to assist in sorting out our spaces. We […]
