A new home

After a hiatus in my practice for various reasons I am delighted to announce I have moved into a new studio. I’m very lucky to be joining a group of wonderful artists who call Exchange Place their home.

Yorkshire Artspace have welcomed me so warmly and I’m thrilled to be part of their community again. It is my first solo studio space which is exciting and a little imposter syndrome making. My new peers have been sending encouraging messages and offers of chats and coffee, this really helps it feel like the right move.

Work in progress: Protest badges

Having fired the moulds taken from the plaster ceiling rose (see previous Instagram posts here and here) I pressed the first round of porcelain shapes today. The hands holding tools are the most interesting to me and I’ve started to think of these as protest badges. I’m thinking of calling the collection The Furies and then individually they could be things like Fiery, Fury, Frustration, Forge, Fight. The potentially unglazed porcelain or a matte finish glaze will hopefully evoke a classical marble statue. I’m hoping to finish these for Sheffield Ceramics Festival in July.
