Bernard Leach's Pottery

The atmosphere and character of this pottery are so enticing. I could have happily stayed all day, yet at this stage I was just a little giddy from all that I'd seen - guess I don't get out enough!

Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden & Studio

During my recent holiday to Cornwall, my friend and I stole a day away from the rest of the crowd and headed to St Ives for a day of artistic indulgence. I hope the images speak for themselves. I refered to Barbara Hepworth, throughout my masters qualification, so always love to see her work.
For me seeing another professional studio scenario was especially rewarding

Revamped website

I've spent the day re working my site - adding courses & workshops. It's good to have that structure of dates in place.. It frees up my mind space to allow me to create.

Ready!

Well fingers crossed - I've set up the basic look of the blog - now I just have to write something...
Images speak loader than words!
This piece is 'FGS 8' - a collagraphic print on industrial felt. It's part of the 'Felt Ground Series' that play with repetition and the human hiccups within 'systems'. Hard as we all try we don't naturally create mechanically correct lines - human error offers uniqueness and beauty.

Getting started

So this is my second attempt at blogging - my first was hidden away & to be honest I didn't use it enough....here's to a fresh start...
I have a few big shows coming up in the autumn & I'd like to use this platform to talk though my process of creating the work for exhibition.
My thoughts will be image heavy, but I guess that's what most of us like.

So I'll get the look right & let you know what I'm up to.
