The preview was a great success, a big thank you to everyone who helped to make it such a lovely event. I have started building the first of three pieces for a private collection and I thought I would show the process day by day. I am gradually coiling the clay, making sure each piece […]

It has been a glorious sunny day and I have finally finished the group! They will now dry and then I will draw in the detail and fire them in the kiln… simple
Phewwwwww I’m just finishing the shape of the last one. It’s starting to look like a dinosaur has made its nest in here!
