Being with a group of women, all telling their individual stories on clay yesterday was such a gift. They baked cakes and pastries to share with each other, they got their hands dirty and thought about the words they keep from people who matter, they talked while they made. The autumn sun cast a golden glow over the morning as it streamed through windows which looked out to the green fields of North Yorkshire. The sausage rolls were lush.

Doesn't every van have it's own pottery wheel? Van is packed and ready for a workshop in Girsby today, booked by a not-for -profit community art group. The wheel will stay where it is though as they're doing a morning of Tile Stories and I can't wait! If you're part of group and would like to book a clay or art workshop in your own venue, get in touch!

Some personal demons ready to be expelled from a recent Demon Bowl workshop! Can you believe that some of these are by absolute clay beginners? I love, love, love the soul of these bowls. Each one different, each one full of heart and character and importantly, expression... And that's what it's about. Keep an eye out for when demon bowl workshops are next on or maybe book your own private demon bowl day for your group! ♥️
