It's lovely when you visit a friend and they give you hot chocolate and treats served in your own pots. 🤗

I made this handbuilt pot a while ago. Coiled stoneware, with combed porcelain slip, it was waiting for the wood kiln to happen. Rather than use glaze in the usual way, I piled wood ash and stone dust onto its shoulder to see how they would flow. It's going to be on the Halecat Arts and Crafts stand at the Junction 36 Art Fair, this weekend.

Each artist with their own way of seeing, making and responding to the world around them.

It's June, which means the wonderful Silverdale and Arnside Art Festival, 10am to 5 pm Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June 2026. I shall be found in the lovey grounds of Hazelwood Hall, in their garden pavillion again, with a few other interesting folk.
