When you've next got five minutes free in front of your computer (perhaps with a cuppa!), check out Microsoft's msn life & style website (http://style.uk.msn.com/advertorials/polycell/look-of-the-month/vintage-...). I have just had a great feature there written by an Australian journalist who liked my products at last year's Origin Contemporary Craft Fair.
I am very excited about the latest additions to my range ... beautiful limited edition screen prints based on A-Z themes. ‘A is Auditorium - The A to Z of Buildings’ (a limited edition of 30 prints) illustrates the alphabet using buildings which was an obvious extension of my work on ceramics. I have to admit, though, that thinking of a subject to illustrate X was tricky!
I was delighted to be asked to create the window display for Craft Central "Gets Hitched" Wedding Fair this summer. The Fair showcased handmade artisan products and so was a perfect venue to promote my up-cycled ceramics (and, of course, every bride should have a cake stand or pretty china on her wedding list!).
We get the most beautiful sunsets here in Hampshire when the sky comes alive with shades of pink, orange and dusky blue. So I thought I'd capture some to share with you all!
The weather down here in the very South of England has been crazy lately ... warm sunshine one moment, freezing cold winds the next. So, as mad as this may sound, we have been lighting fires to snuggle round. At least this gives me the chance to take time out to admire the gorgeous rug I commissioned from Jason Collingwood at last year's Origin Contemporary Craft Fair. Jason and I will both be exhibiting again at this year's fair from 22-28 September 2011 at Old Spitalfield's Market, London E1 6EW (see the exhibitors list at http://www.originuk.org/exhibitors-2011 for full details).
Dear All,

Happy Wednesday,
