Frome Art Car Boot

Summer Art Car Boot
10am - 4pm on Sunday 15th July 2012
The seventh and very successful Black Swan Summer Art Car Boot, taking place in the Frome Festival at the Old Cattle Market Car Park, Frome. 
I'll be there with Martha Orr and Jane Skuse from Space One.

Jug of the Month - June

This is a fake! But I like it. No genuine Susie Cooper miniature sets were ever made, and these sets started to appear in 1997 in Tiger Lily pattern. Mine is missing a box, a plate, a cup and saucer and two plate stands. Here is the mini jug next to the real thing. 

Space One InBristol

During my long absence from the studio J has wallpapered and M has made and displayed flying ducks for  Space One. Looks brill with our £1 IKEA shower curtain door and M's pinny hanging up. 

My glaze test plates have been hung too....

Making

Making again after a break of nearly 6 months. Made 50 odd jugs over the last weekend of half term. These are all destined to be gifts for guests at my brother's wedding in July. Don't want to go to work tomorrow..want to play with clay. 

Googling Myself 2

Been googling myself again....

I was one of the top ten creatives of the week for PSFK back in March....

I'll just mention that Claire Palfreyman mentions that I've mentioned her...

"In this piece which I saw at the RWA autumn exhibition the artist has created small ceramic pots glazed in yellow and red and displayed them in a mirror triangle. The shapes are similar to the felt bowls that I have made and a similar efect is created because the glaze is seen both inside and outside the vessel. I will try using mirrors to present by piece."

Falling Out With Blogger

My laptop and I have fallen out with Google Chrome and the new improved Blogger, which has made it impossible for me to blog for ages. I think we're now in recovery...but we're still a bit grumpy about it. 

Jug of the Month - May

A SylvaC Totem jug in a jade green. It might be an egg separator but I'm struggling to see how that would work. Just found out that SylvaC needs a big C at the end. That's exciting and new.

 Here's some more in the same colour...

And here's an amazing cheese plate in an olive green. I really want one of these...
