Fabulous 2011!!!

 2011 has been a big year for me! I started the classes at the farm a year ago and the Art in the Park pottery in May. I quit my part time job, met a lot of people and we ve made a lot of pots : )

Max's tallest ever pot!

New parent and toddler class at the farm - Jannike's idea!

I went to a family fun day in Tottenham

Liza made a four legged chicken

Fabi discovered the joys of slab building at Art in the Park

Melissa had to buy a cabinet to keep all her work in!

She made a gift for her cacti...

and went from strength to strength on the throwing!

We continued Russell's Training

I worked with the Young Farmers to decorate their  growing patch.

We put our heads together on a Friday evening class......

'Slow Pottery' was born !


There are so many more great things too mention, but most of all to thank everyone who has joined in and supported me with my local pottery mission this year. Thank you all!!

Cannot wait to see what 2012 brings! : )

Cornwall for inspiration

Porthmeor Beach, St Ives

Jane Adams was the first gallery owner to take my work after Uni.  We met at Loughborough where we trained and quickly discovered a strong Leo understanding : )

Jane runs a beautiful gallery in St Just, she has great taste and it puts her gallery a cut above the rest in the town.  Making her own work and running the gallery aren't enough.... Jane runs a little evening class too....in her kitchen!   - Very Cornish!

There were free drinks across the road that evening, so only half the class
turned up . Not bad considering : )

Margret's Phil the Pheasant 

Chris's Unomi

The range is the perfect drying space

Cozy!

I had to have a go : )

Inspired by Baby & Percy

Jane sold a wire display tree so we made this one as a
 replacement! What a team!

So we went of down the coast road... braving the elements!
We were luck there was a break in the weather.

Coast Road to St Ives

Tate cafe - I had to have a cream tea : )
The exhibition wasn't to my liking, glad I ve got membership so I didn't pay.

A cream tea at the Tate! Yum!

I have nt been to the Leach pottery for many years, it has been refurbished now and  visitors are allowed in to the original studios... really worth a visit.

Drawings at the Leach pottery

Japanese work that reminded me of mine!

See you again soon St Just : )
 

Advent Drawing Project 2011

Clothes Drying - on Amazon cardboard - 1st December

This was my friend Emily's idea.... the intention is we will encourage each other.  Looking forward to seeing her work... especially yesterdays circle! .... at least she remembered! lol : )
