the potter returns

Hi folks and no, I did NOT drop off my perch. So why the deafening silence?

Well it's been quite a year. To add to all that life throws at us all, I sold my house in order to ... ehm ... downsize. Downsize??? All I did was pack countless boxes and moved half my life to Yorkshire and the other half to the Kent coast. I am the eternal optimist and didn't anticipate the time and above all energy it would take. But now it's done, I feel halfway human again.

It's been frustrating not being able to get covered in clay for so long but there was simply no point trying. I cannot throw when I'm worked up. Now that the stress is subsiding, I am at long last making pots again.

Thought I'd show you the cabin I've had put up which will be my studio for the foreseeable future.



It's still in quite a mess, so I will spare you other pictures for now ;)

Breaking the silence feels bizarre. But I'm back, overflowing with ideas and dead set to make up for lost time!

  4. I have to say that cabin looks awesome! A bit of bunting and it looks like it would be a lovely place to work. Not been to your blog before but looking forward to seeing your future clay creations once you get back into it!

    1. I made hundreds of cloth bunting triangles for a wedding - am thinking of ceramic bunting, could liven up the outside of my shed

  8. What a great light and airy space to work in, I also don't work well when stressed - and moving is very stressful. Can't wait to see what you make each week :D

  9. Don't they say that in terms of stress, moving ranks third after bereavement and divorce??
    Yes, it is a light space. Just as well - I hate feeling hemmed in!
