Wintering and Last Lights!

***

I hope that you are doing OK and January isn't treating you too mean! 

I am beginning a year of artistic exploration and development and it feels like exactly the right thing to be doing at this moment.

It's especially hard to stay bouyant with everything going on in the world right now. I am trying to find a balance of keeping informed about what is going on, raising my voice when I can and keeping my own calm space to manage life at home. It's a juggle but I've been finding some strong headspace by exploring some figurative work. Under the expert tuition of Sharon Griffin (look her up she's amazing!) and it has been powerful, it's been a gift, it's challenging, cathartic and grounding!

I'm expanding my own practice through courses and unspoken for studio time. Our small life is intense but safe and my practice is the core of who I am. I know how incredibly lucky I am. I am reaching out to my creative roots. Making in the simplest terms, very few tools, simple processes, just me, the clay and some space, making some pots!

I'm also sharing my love of my material with other people through teaching. I'm so proud of everyone who came to our community project in North Cornwall, the first session was brilliant and we're all looking forward to the next phase. Thanks also to everyone has signed up to my 6 week course. We are now fully booked and it's going to be wonderful.

I will be reopening the shop for the first phase of our studio clearance on Sunday February the 1st so make sure you sign up to our newsletter for some generous discount codes!

So we step through January, wild, wet and cathartic.

Sending you love and resilience whatever your challenges.
