Rock on Wilko

Saw this interview the other morning with Wilko Johnson.....He's always been a bit of legend, but his attitude to news that could normally leave people paralysed with fear and self pity is inspirational.

If you have a spare few mins take them to have a look at this interview.

Some new raw pots in the workshop....

A few shots from my phone(so a little grainy) of some new pieces.

Lidded jars, jugs, caddies and bowls.

8 pieces will be going for selection committee at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen next month.

Had to learn how to pull handles with my left hand today due to losing a chunk of finger tip from my right index finger. The resulting handles look fine and have a good 'spring', so happy to have got them done,

Thanks for looking.

A killer Northerly blast today, but the sun was out and the sky was blue(except when a crazy hail storm went through).

New Ashgate Gallery update

I enjoyed a nice evening at the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham, Surrey on Friday the 1st.
Thanks to the folks at the Gallery for putting a good doo and displaying the work nicely. Also thanks to my friends and relatives who came to the opening, much appreciated.
Really pleased to be showing next to Akiko Hirai a person's work that I have admired for some years. Also, thanks to Jonathan Garratt for the chats and advice.
The Gallery now holds a stock of 20 pieces.

Stupidly, I forgot my camera, so a few fuzzy pics from my phone.

One show ends and another begins.....

15 pieces have been sent and will be on show at the 'Spring Contemporary Craft Collection' at the New Ashgate Gallery, Farnham, Surrey. 

Really looking forward to being the opening night this Friday the 1st of Feb. The opening runs from 6pm-8pm and hoping to see old friends and relatives. 

Friday 1st February to Saturday 27th April 2013
