I took part in the Stafford Castle Magna Carter Celebration event on 16th August and on arrival found I was pictured on their 'big' advertising banner.....

......... which is now on the wall in the studio :)

A really great day - no rain - lots of visitors who made lots of pots and very helpful staff.

I'm running a series of pottery workshops at Kingfisher Place, Selby for clients with a range of learning disabilities and complex needs.  

The clients are producing textured slabs of clay which I will then make up in to candle holders in a variety of forms. 
Over the course of 3 workshops clients will be using objects representing materials used in the construction and furnishing of Selby Abbey. The first workshop concentrated on objects made from stone and metal.
Once competed and simply glazed, the candle holders will be displayed at Selby Abbey as part of the Jorvik Medieval Festival.

Several pieces of Salvage Ware now exhibited in the Wolds Village gallery.

It's been a busy couple of days - First an interview with the Hull Daily Mail and then they sent round a photographer and the article appeared in this mornings edition.

I feel that 2017 will be a really positive year for Hull and the art in Humberside and East Yorkshire and it seems to be starting already.
