Makes ceramics as a hobby
Open studio today and Sunday. I'll have some of my ceramic pieces for sale and over the weekend you will be able to block print a card (£2.50 each). Come and say hello and see what all the Makers have going on.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Was in Florencevfor a few days, went to see Michaelangelos David, which was amazing, but also very taken with this exquisite embroidery, hidden on the top floor that so few people seemed to visit. Signed and dated 1336, this photo is just a fragment.

Multi sectional dish, about 8" across. Already on its way to a friend. Love the effect from layering glazes

Also out of the kiln, this set of pots which unfortunately had a coming together of glaze and kiln shelf. Still functional though.

We're 300 followers away from 70,000. 300 more would be really nice. But you know what would be even better? 300 plus 30,000.
