Coming up this weekend is the Ealing Artisan Festive Craft Market which is taking place in the delightful Ealing Park Tavern situated on South Ealing Road. There will be a range of high quality arts and crafts for sale from 10 local artists. Worth a look for those unique Christmas gifts and also a delicious spot to have lunch!

My next event will be at Chalfont St Giles Craft Market on Saturday 17th November from 10am to 3pm. Lovely market with a great atmosphere.

Summer 2017

11/6/2017

I have been busy making again and enjoying every minute of it. I am still fascinated by form and have developed a range of very simple vases and jugs which I think will be a pleasure to use. I am also tinkering with my glazes, following a visit to a very inspiring exhibition of Korean Ceramics. I just love the quiet simplicity of the celadon glazes.
I look forward to the next fair at Chalfont St Giles which takes place on Saturday 17th June on the village green from 10 to 3pm. I will also be there in July on 15th usual times

Beat is back and takes place middle two weekends of September. Very Exciting! Details to follow.

Spring 2017

5/3/2017

The daffodils are pushing their way up so it must be Spring and the workshop is a bit warmer! Happy New Year to you all and just to let you know that production has resumed. I am working on my 2017 collection and focusing on shape. II really liked the simple jug forms from last summer so I am making more and trying to refine the shapes so that they are more streamlined. I am also working on some large bowls and dishes inspired by landscapes.
I will be back at my favourite market in Chalfont St Giles very soon, details below. I am also planning the Beat extravaganza for September - more details will follow soon.
Looking forward to seeing you at Chalfont St Giles - it really is a sweet little market with a lovely range of home produced foods, crafts and fresh produce.
