Back from .co.uk at Melton Mowbray. Absolutely fabulous weekend, great fellow exhibitors, many of whom I ‘know’ through Insta but have never met until now, saw an old Cardiff Uni mate () for the first time in 30+ years, met students of and all my usual Potfest cronies, with special mention to and Marta for your company on Saturday but all of whom are just scrumptious ( you in particular). I’ll be doing my Potfest Haul pictures tomorrow (and it’s a goodie), in the meantime here’s my one and only photo from the trip - a lovely cow-lick patinated concrete wall from one of the pens. Devil’s in the details… much love xx

Mostly thanks to those who came along, chatted and even bought pots, it doesn’t work without you! Much love xx

It’s .co.uk ! 100 potters all under one roof. Photos of others to come, daren’t wander around too much or I’ll buy too much (I’ll buy too much anyway). There are loads of newbies here, and all of us are different from the ones in May. Please come if you can - Fri-Sun 10-4.30 each day xx

Packed the car for .co.uk in Penrith this weekend, meant to take pics of the pots as I went, but only remembered a few times. Will do more shots when I unpack (or will forget, again). It’s on Friday-Sunday 10-4, and there’ll be 100+ of us. Please come of you can xx

And so it begins! MA Visual Practice, here we go! Threw some pots to calm the nerves and make a start - going to distort them next week. Now off to Penrith for see you there Friday-Sunday if you can make it xx

The day has come! is on, this evening 7-9, then 10-5 Saturday and Sunday. I’m in the Village Hall at the top, right where the shuttle bus stops. There are eight of us in here, and Harry the cocker who is absolutely gorgeous. Much love xx

Hello! Been a while. I didn’t get many events this summer, but we’ve had a lovely one, with hols, exciting times for the twins with new jobs and readying for Uni, so now back on it doing all the processes at once to have pots ready for in a week or so, and then my local, massive agri show, always a doozy.
Not very humble brag at the end - but if you know, you know.
Much love xx

Happy

Oooo, get me! Really looking forward to this event, thank you for having me! Will have started my MA course by then so may have some wild new work to show, too. Put it in your diary, and come if you can! Xx
