I joined a co-working hour the other day hosted by the author Clover Stroud, instead of writing (though i did write a bit too) I got on with thsi pot, which suddently decided it wanted to have Wayland’s Smithy on it. So here’s the beginning of that.

I often like to make pots that look like they have been at the bottom of the sea for a few decades/centuries (it's the archaeologist in me I think). The technique of using sodium silicate to allow the clay surface to be cracked is horribly addictive! Here's test pot from a few weeks ago using crank terracotta & porcelain.

This is the ‘back’ of the Childrey Warren pot, my customer asked for a little Uffington Horse on the piece, as well as the Warren.

Not the best photo and unfortunately I completely failed to get a picture after it was fired, and before it went to it’s new home! This is inspired by Childrey Warren, up on the Ridgeway.

A new landscape pot, it's been a few months since I made one of these!

Celebrating Ceramic Creations @ The Dolphin Gallery. My stall! 😊

Excited to be at Celebrating Ceramic Creations at The Dolphin Gallery 🐬 in Wantage tomorrow (5th April) from 9am. I'm one of ten local potters showing and selling our work. Hope to see lots of lovely pottery fans there 😊

Three little pots enjoying the spring sunshine. Like the larger Labyrinth and Spiral pots these are stoneware with a tuquoise glaze. The middlle one has an ‘arches’ motif found in Newgrange Tomb, Eire (I’m fairly sure it pops up elsewhere too).

Labyrinth vase, inspired by European Neolithic rock art, these mazes and spirals keep popping up in my work :-)
