Next event: The Wealden Literary Festival

June 12, 2018

My next event is a bit of a new adventure; the Wealden Literary Festival. I was invited to partipate and it sounds like a lovely event so I'm packing my tent and heading to Woodchurch! See you there perhaps?

An experimental storage jar from the last firing, inspired by the traditional pharmacist's albarello.

Pow. It is definitely ox-eye daisy season!

Luxuriating in the gardens of Great Dixter this afternoon. The second shot shows the view from where I'm sitting right now, at an ancient table in a medieval timber frame barn doing my monthly review & plan. It's all looking pretty good from here!

My next appearance will be at the Wealden Literary Festival at the end of the month. It's full of interesting speakers as well as artists and makers so well worth a visit. Check out their feed for a chance to win some free tickets. Repostdenlitfest ・・・ ✨COMPETITION TIME✨.

Good luck! ✨ The full programme is available here: www.wealdenliteraryfestival.co.uk/programme

I've been revisiting some favourite photos from the last year today. Pondering whether to get some printed as post cards or greeting cards to sell at shows. What do you think folks? I'm oddly fond of this bean shot but would anyone else want to buy a card of it???

Day 3 at the @westdeancollege #artsandcraft festival and it's a cracker! The versatile serving dish in white crackle was yesterday's top choice, what will it be today?

Visitors yesterday enjoyed my experimental flower vessels, I wonder what they'll spot today... #artsandcraft

One of my new lidded jars on the stand for the first time today at @westdeancollege #artsandcraft festival

All set up on the front lawn of @westdeancollege for day one of the #artsandcraft festival, looks like it will be a good day with masses happening!

It's Friday lunchtime so it time to see what the chefs have been up to with a Repost from @thelaughingheart_london ・・・ Country Terrine & Yorkshire Rhubarb
