Ferini Gallery Exhibition
I took my second batch of sculptures to the Ferini gallery in Pakefield earlier this week in preparation for their show which opens on the 3rd of April through to the 4th of May. Amazed at the quality of work the other potters have presented and feel quite honoured that mine is included . Really excited that my sculpture called Mela is represented in the exhibition booklet.

Creating the displays
Dropped my Work at the Undercroft in Norwich today, with the assistance of my mother and was lucky enough to get a parking space right outside the entrance. Potter’s are dropping their work at the gallery after which they are being curated.

King made bisque firing
Really happy my king made it through the first firing and I now have the fun of decorating him. Lots of time taken to try and create his fantastic dress plus working on giving him a debouched look. Can’t wait to see my friend at the Kings Head in Bawburgh and see what he thinks.

Captive
Currently working on a figure being trapped by circumstances. Ensnared and restrained by the bonds of life.

King Edward Vll
This sculpture has been made as a commission to thank the owner of the King’s Head in Bawburgh. I’ve finished making the head and body plus a crown which I’m still deciding whether to leave as removable. It now needs to dry out and bisque fire..

Survived the Kiln
Really pleased that my sculpture of a woman deep in thought made it through the kiln, thanks to the kiln gods, I am still thinking of a name for her, but am loving the shiny glaze splashes, and curled up toes,.

Angry Richard
Really pleased that my latest sculpture has made it through a second firing with paint on glazes. This one was based on a work colleague who was having a bad day hence the name. I think I captured his mood.

Moving on
I’ve not had as much time to sculpt recently, as I’ve had to move out of my home whilst some emergency building repairs are being carried out. When things happen out of your control it makes me appreciate how lucky I am to live in England and have a roof over my head. I’m missing the moor and lovely sunrises I normally enjoy in the mornings but hopefully will be back home soon.
