Marking Time competition piece at Potfest in the Park

Well I got here in one piece even if I did break two very treasured pieces by my friend Kerry Cox the morning of packing the car to get to Potfest. A sad moment indeed as she doesn't make her ceramic work anymore.

But on the brighter side it looks like my breaking things streak hit early and I didn't break anything setting up for Potfest in the Park. This is my competition piece called 'one o'clock, two o'clock....' based on dandelion clocks. this years competition on the lawn has brought out the best in people so I will post more pics as the weekend goes on but here's my piece to be going on with I am hoping the wind doesn't pick up overnight or it doesn't rain too heavily before the punters see it!

Life has been hectic since my concussion and I have been playing catch up for the last few weeks. I thought I would share some of the pictures taken at the launch event yesterday of Heasdandfords new entrances for the whole school. I worked on 'Under the Sea' with Year 1s and with Year 2s 'The Enchanted Forest'.

What a lovely show Potfest was at its new venue at Scone Palace on the outskirts of Perth.

Peacocks on the lawn too.

An added bonus was the staff at the palace kept bringing me beautiful flowers from the gardens.

And here are some stands of my drinking buddies....

And friends.

Unfortunately since getting back I have had an accident and am laid up at home not being able to do much and not allowed to do a lot of computer work as I have bashed my head on my sack barrow as I was unloading my car at a school. So after a trip to casualty I am sitting on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. Lots of work to do and I'm not allowed to do any of it boo. 

owah! is all I can say so I'll sign off till next time x

three down one more to go......

Who booked four events in three weekends back to back? hmmm yes might have to have words with myself tired is not the word for it!


So this weekend was Open Studios at Higherford Mill and yesterday was The Art Market in Holmfirth. The Market was a fantastic event with so much beautiful work and not alot of time to get to see it all when you are on a stall might have to take an assistant to the next one.

Saturday was Open Studios at Higherford Mill with almost all of us opening for the day to display our wares. There were some new visitors and old friends who came to say hello and there are still people in the village who don't know we are in the mill! I've been in the mill for 9 years with a studio in the village for 10! oh well maybe I need better advertising.

So I am back from the first Rural Arts Market in Thirsk. The weekend event was at a really lovely venue on the outskirts of the market town in Yorkshire. There were 12 designer makers showing there with workshops running alongside. (http://rural-arts.squarespace.com/news/)
