This piece is unusual ...even more unusual than usual. Experimenting with slips and underglaze ...

First firing on sand went beautifully. Ready for the final clear glaze which will intensify the colours. These pieces are ambitious for me and just about squeeze into my kiln.

I can hear Laurel and Hardy singing 'lonesome pine.' I'm dining out on cypresses at Bedgebury Pinetum.
Hey @swiftcharles2002 art enthusiasts have stopped and said they fancy trying watercolour, I directed them to your books on drawing and watercolour...don't worry you can thank me later!
This is oil pastel...I did say watercolour was tricky and...err...follow the steps!

Cock blossom
Scraffito on cobalt blue slip which will hopefully reveal a sensitive white drawing.

Glazed sensual vessel. The terrocata stoneware fired a deep chocolate and the dove slip a creamy white. For me the texture is more sensuous than the drawing. The lid is detachable and it has fired without fault. Because of the colour it has the reverence of something aged to me.

I'm super proud to be part of this collage of women's experiences during lock down. It's a significant piece of 'herstory' it really is.

Reposted from @isabelledefaut Give/ Take/ Women/ Space

Audio documentary piece by @portraittheatre for @powthanet Fringe

“I get a phone call, it’s the school. And I mean, I feel like I’ll never forget it, the woman goes, yes I’m afraid Tom’s coughing in class, you have to come and get him. And I was like ‘What d’you mean? Like Tom coughing in class? But I mean, Tom always coughs.’ And I felt like the kind of mum, you know, who’s always looking for an excuse!”

'Not pathology but path' @matthewlicata
The path is wide here. And there are many saplings which make me dizzy.
This has become a ritual drawing the paths that lead everywhere.

The grains of white grout between the black tiles, the sheen on the bath board or the steel door handle, the vessels in the lino on the drenched bathroom floor. Thin worn towels, long bath times, listening, louvre doored cupboard under the sink, fake brass door knobs, soaped surface, tears, thin metal floor boundary to cheap nylon carpet replaced by thicker woolier version with patterns. Teeth, blood, flood. Immersion growl and crusted pipes caked, calcified in white viened age. Locked out. Black gloss door. High frosted window matching identically next doors. Ripley Road. Singing, ' you always hurt the ones you love, the ones you shouldn't hurt at all.'

An embrace...what could be simpler.
How we crave this after all this time. It's worth noting as we find our way into eachothers arms what happens to every cell in the body, the olfactory and sensory over load. How heavy and grounded we can become as our body releases that tense state of alertness and being just above ground to falling into a sanguine restfulness. Rooted in deep affection, coming home to our birth right of connection with others.

So I started
I was going to biscuit fire first but ...couldn't resist the cool circle of grey leather hard porcelain. It spoke to me...paint me a magnolia tree and do it fast.
