Rarely seen perspective of my workshop, and even I try to ignore this but I really must try and sort this out when I find the time. Old pieces from many years ago, broken ones that I don’t want to part with, odd bits made for workshops, experiments, the list goes on. Maybe I just need a bigger studio?! #studiolife #ceramiclife

‘Entwined’ piece in the making. Slowly hand coiled over the last week, just a little more to go and a few adjustments to be made. The middle section is supported as I make it and the bottom half is covered so not to dry out too fast. I undercover it now and then in the making to keep an eye on the balance of the curves. #coilbuiltceramics
