ARTIST (NOT) IN RESIDENCE

Over 6 weeks in to Lockdown and adaptation is the name of the game. I work anywhere I can get a bit of space and quiet, although sometimes, when I'm making frames,  I'm the one making the racket.
I'm so HAPPY to be working with porcelain again after such a long break. It means I'm totally enervated and working hard to fill a kiln for firing at The Creative Studio. In addition to my creamy porcelain I have some new Black Onyx Porcelain and I can't wait to see how it fires.
​Working in two-tone, I feel I ought to be listening to some Ska music rather than the playlist I'm humming along to!

There's a dining table under there somewhere.

Art& RAW Talent Award

Art& are promoting the 12 RAW Talent Award artists on Instagram and Facebook this week, please have a look. I'm really proud to be part of such a diverse and hugely talented group of newly emerging artists.
Our group of emerging artists on the RAW Talent Award feel so lucky to be part of such an exciting and diverse team, we feel supported and it’s great to be sharing with people who are going through the same experience.
My Art& mentorship sessions with Victoria have been invaluable, she has helped me to clear away the mental clutter and focus on the raw essence of what my work is, what it means to me and what it is I am trying to capture. I felt deconstructed, it was unsettling and unnerving but ultimately utterly rewarding.

Here's the gang! The 12 RAW Talent Award artists and our two fantastic mentors: Victoria and Emily.
