A tale in two photos.

Yes I stabbed myself with a forceful blunt paintscraper. It hurt and bled a lot. I was trying to remove the clay from the board in a hurry, with 7 billion other things on my mind.

I need to stop injuring my hands, it's not very sensible.

Ouch. 🤕

CLUTTER!

"Space, the final frontier" is NOT what we have here. I'm getting asked daily about when I can do some classes, workshops etc. Lack of time is one thing, but now lack of space is a major factor. I have peoples pottery laying about from years ago!

Many thanks to the folks who collected boxes of pots today, it really helps!

Time & space are this summer's challenges.

Just had a couple of great clay sessions with a local primary schools pupils. Brilliant creativity and focus from these children. Fantastic pottery! They'll be nack next month to glaze them.

I'm back! Apologies to folks who popped around to the studio last week to find us closed. I had to dash off and disappear for a week for family reasons. Thanks to all the regular pottery session folks for their patience.

All being well that's me back for reasonably regular hours now. 5 or 6 days a week, 10.30 to 3pm or later. Hours extend as the footfall increases!
