Although I write occasionally about my studio and what i’m currently creating, these last months I’ve actually been preparing for a little art fair for Artwave festival at Plumpton Racecourse.

Ah very exciting! I was honoured to be chosen for a spot in an exhibition at Cuckmere Haven, a lovely shepherds like barn perched on the edge of the cliffs near the Seven Sisters cliffs- the barn is also located right next to a very very popular beach footpath so lots of passers by.

This month I had to wrap up all my ceramics back home tightly because I was off to Dubrovnik, Croatia for 10 days! I’ve spoken about this in the past, but I always struggle to leave my ceramics work for long periods of time.

This month didn’t start off great. As I moving something near my drying bench, I bumped my first liberty horse sculpture. Next thing you know it goes flying, bumping itself as it falls down to the ground- disaster!!

This month was all clay work, no expeditions or visiting far distant lands. After a hectic May, I needed to knuckle down in the studio. It might not look like a super exciting month to read but it was for me ceramics wise!

I decided to take a photo of myself working (very awkward and not comfortable!), I don’t show my face much on social media but I understand people want to see me to connect to my work better.

I’ve started these monthly updates for myself but also for those who don’t follow my instagram account. Although instagram is my main basis for posting live updates, it’s also bit annoying how everything is all on one platform…

As you might’ve seen from my sculptures, my ceramic’s isn’t smooth or clean cut and I don’t like to my work to be perfect. Since I’ve begun making ceramics, I like my work to have that aged ‘feel’.
