Christmas and weddings- autumn winter 09





I wanted a sort of faded elegance meets Miss Havisham look for the new publicity shots. A bit moody and a bit vintage, quiet, eclectic. The pots are a mixture of cast and thrown pieces from my new range. This is the collection that will be in the New York Gift fair, there are some new things in development too which I am taking and the full range will be on show at 100%Design in London in September. I'm working on some fabric designs too, but they will probably come out in January.

Autumn Winter in July!


Here's the first shot for the teaser images for Autumn winter 2009. The black bowls are Wedgwood Jasper, and the white bowl and plate are bone china with platinum lustre prints. the cups and big dish are all thrown porcelain.

Tokyo




More fish and skyscrapers, next time I go it will be November, so I'll go to some galleries and the bohemian, arty part of town...

Tokyo






Tokyo was amazing, the way people live with ceramics is inspiring and the city was full of clashes and visual information. Expect lots of lines and stripes on my work from now on due to all the buildings! Here's some pictures, fish and skyscrapers.....

Off to Japan





Well there was just time to squeeze out another order before I go to Japan so these pots are going to be cups for Pelham House Gallery in the Isle of Wight, I am just going to put the handles on now....
This is the work for Japan all sorted, it's gone now on it's big journey and I am off soon. The rest of my pots are off to the Borough Museum in Newcastle Under Lyme for a showcase, and if you are in Hertfordshire the Cross Gallery in Bishops Stortford and Buntingford, has a delivery arriving any day soon!

Better get these pots finished and then pack my bags and all the million other things you have to do last minute before you go away!!!! I think I will be drilling colander holes until the dawn taxi comes to get me!

I will be at the Interiors and Lifestyle show, Tokyo Big Sight this week, Hall West 1 Stand 12-54, come and say hello if you are passing!

Perfect Sunday





Well we had one day of sun and everyone rushed to Trentham Gardens. I got burnt, but we had a great day. Back to work now, I have an order to get done before I go to Japan this weekend. I will take my ripple blanket with me and try and finish it!

A hard day's work



I've finally pulled my finger out and stripped the pugmill down for the bi-annual clay recycling marathon. All that lovely fresh clay waiting to be turned into pots! I'll post a picture later to show what I have made today.
I've developed an unhealthy love of crochet too, I wanted to look for something I could do on the plane to Japan, as if you know me then you know I can't sit still for 7 hours!
