Fissure (iii)

Smoke fired ceramic

I had deemed this pot ‘failed’ - some bigger stones had blown/disintegrated during the final firing. I still liked it and potted it up today - now I love it. Is a ceramic piece a failure if it has cracks or chips?

I recently started a Substack publication 'POETRY (or writing notes on a phone to avoid eye contact)'. I want to explore the freewriting I do in notes whilst out and getting on with the day.

Preparing for Hornsea Ceramics Festival. More wild clay but this time with some gestural brush strokes with white stoneware slip.

Gearing up for Hornsea Ceramics Festival on 26 & 27 April 25. I’ll be there as Ever Green Studio - a brand I created last year to separate my fine art practice from more practical makes

As a bit of a side / personal project for Virtual Ecologies I’ve been researching ‘barriers to nature’. Here is a selection of that collection of photographs.

I’ve started a new publication on Substack - ‘POETRY (or writing notes on a phone to avoid eye contact) is quick free writing, exploring lines of thought or ideas whilst out and about - all written in a phone note. This is the first.

I’ve been delivering creative workshops for Virtual Ecologies - a project exploring themes of shifting baseline syndrome and local ecologies. These are photos from one of them working with @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social

Excited to share that I’ll be at the upcoming Hornsea Ceramics Festival 26 & 27 April organised by Number Nine & Hornsea Museum. See you there!

This is one of my favourite pots from this series using wild clay from the East Yorkshire coastline. The stones continued to erode and disintegrate even days after the firing - ironic given this is the fastest eroding coastline in Europe.

First post on here, latest pot made. I really like this one but was really hard to photograph for some reason.
