This year is turning out to be quite a different and most exciting one for my practice . My husband has almost completed building his new workshop , and then we begin working on re-furbishing the enormous garage for my studio . I decided to approach 2024 as a kind of sabbatical - stepping away from regular routine to dig deep in 40 years of making art .
I was inspired to make a few prints using Tetra packs ,and my pasta machine as the printer . Search online for the method , its plenty of fun !
We also discovered that the clay dug from the foundations of the workshop was quite lovely clay , of which i used in a Carbon trap Shino type glaze on this 'Pillow' form .
So onward it is , experimenting , and making new forms - with maybe some new surfaces ?
The image at the very top of the page , is a beginning image for a small series of porcelain works for a feature show later in the year .. stay tuned .
