What’s New?

It’s been a busy year of making and learning. Lots of new techniques attempted and new places to show
my work and creations!

Still loving sculptural wildlife including some extremely grumpy toads and garden butterflies. 

Ceramic boxes have been a
good excuse for experimenting with more challenging glazes such as mirror-like Palladium and Vintage Gold.

Story Shells have been testing dexterity but very satisfying to get a Walrus inside a shell, not too mention an Owl and a Pussycat. 

Some of these will be on display in the Garden Room at Showborough this year alongside the Octopus knob which has proved so popular!
