Tonight 8pm!! Let's give those incredible NHS work

Tonight 8pm!! Let's give those incredible NHS workers a Massive round of applause. All of them.
Hopefully hopefully what will come out of this will be a real understanding of just how incredible our NHS is and how it must be protected and properly invested in.
Let's come to our doors or windows and show those heroes on the frontline (and all those supporting them) just how much we treasure them and are so grateful for all they're doing.

Last week I received such a delightful and unexpected package in the post. A beautiful calendar by the talented @dr.illustration, it's from March to February and came at just the right time. This sweet, kind present was the ray of sunshine I needed. If you don't know his work, pls go have a look, he's illustrated some of my favourite children's books as well as the exquisitely illustrated history of the suffrage movement, a book I am treating myself to as a well done for getting through a crap month.

Rook plates, sgraffitoed and drying. One good thing about the generally miserable weather (for me at least) is everything dries slowly which means evenly, so no warping 😊 no rushing either, good for me as I'm a terrible rusher 😬

Just decorated a few of these as that colour way has sold out. Changed the design to something I find more pleasing... but is this just me? Swipe for original (and obviously finished and glazed!) design. Do any of you have a preference?

Another day, another banner! I'd like to think if

Another day, another banner! I'd like to think if Elvis was alive today he'd have been 100% against the destruction of the planet as we know it 🤷‍♀️ I've been making banners to decorate the @extinctionrebellionbrighton fundraiser. It's This friday at the Latest Bar in Hanover, Everyone welcome, £5 on the door. I reckon it'll be a really fun night, bands, djs and a whole bunch of lovely people. I'll be on the door 8.30-9.30 and inside having a ball the rest of the night 💃🕺
Many thanks to @bonnieogdendesign for allowing me to pilfer her Elvis (didn't do it justice 😬) and marvellous chums @gaskellruth ruth and @kateshermanart for expert brushwork and uplifting chat 🧡

Just taken more of the bottom two out of the kiln

Just taken more of the bottom two out of the kiln and will be adding to my website. Making more of the top one this week so they will be available in a couple of weeks. At the moment I'm splitting my time between ceramics and visuals for upcoming XR events. Thinking of employing the rooks on a banner... have an idea they could make a strong pattern/border with the rooks carrying a banner/flag bearing an image or message. Have lots swirling around in my head.... but very open to ideas! 🤪👍🧡

A cosy cabin in the woods for a miserable Monday.

A cosy cabin in the woods for a miserable Monday. After the last 2 weekends of storms I'm feeling incredibly lucky to happen to live somewhere not prone to flooding. My heart goes out to those affected. I know @reptile_tiles have been flooded and that they've been fantastically supported by their community. A wonderful silver lining around a pretty dark cloud. Hoping the same is true for all those others flooded.

Other side.
So, we often think, what can I do... Boris Johnson has just given the post of President of COP 26 to Alok Sharma. His background is in accountancy and banking. This COP is widely recognised as the most important UN climate summit ever. Ever. What seems obvious to me is that the President must have a wealth of expert knowledge on climate change.
There is a petition on change.org you can sign if you want to get behind the idea of a climate expert being President of COP 26. This is far far more important than party politics.

Spent some time I should have been making ceramics

Spent some time I should have been making ceramics making a banner! This is the 2nd part but to make it work on the grid I'm posting it first! Scientists worldwide have been repeatedly warning over the last few years about the threat of human driven insect extinction which will ultimately result in the collapse of nature's ecosystems. Sounds pretty horrific to me. So maybe we should be listening to the scientists and urging governments worldwide to act now, act responsibly, act with some degree of sanity. We can all "do our bit" at home to lesser or greater degrees but ultimately the only way to avoid what is being called the Unnoticed insect apocalypse is with legislation. Governments Will do what their people tell them if enough of them make their voices heard. This doesn't seem a radical and extremist thing to do. Radical and extreme is allowing the collapse of nature's ecosystems.

Part of an order I'm delivering to @townergallery

Part of an order I'm delivering to @townergallery shop this afternoon. I'm delighted my work has sold so well there as I love so much about this fabulous seaside gallery.
Really glad I managed to see the stunningly impressive Davd Nash exhibition and I'm looking forward to the David Hockney and Alan Davie early works. Also Brink, the exhibition that @carolinelucasbrighton has curated from the Towner Collection is well worth a look.

Finally back in the studio Proper 🤪 and can't wipe the massive grin off my face! I haven't been idle but it's been a while since I got my sleeves rolled up and hands dirty (clayey!) My head is bursting with new ideas and plans which is good as I've got orders, deadlines, exhibitions and exciting stuff all lined up and in the offing! I do feel flipping lucky to have the job I have and never take it for granted. @bbc6music is my companion and my little pot belly stove is chugging out some warmth. Right now all's good in my immediate world.

Veganuary? Veguary? Varch 🤣?? I LOVE food. Good

Veganuary? Veguary? Varch 🤣??
I LOVE food. Good, delicious wonderful food and hate denying myself anything I want to eat.. But that makes becoming vegan at times a slight challenge. I find it easy to rustle up savoury deliciousness but am intimidated by vegan sweet treats.. This morning I delivered a long overdue whale plate (swipe for pic) to the best cake maker I've ever met @maryhawkinshall and was greeted with this insanely delicious carrot and walnut cake. I'm trying to persuade her to set up a vegan cake business as I think there is Such A Need!!! #bestvegancakemaker #herwarmthandkindnessisinthecake #comeonhampers🤣 #illbeyournumberonecustomer

One of my plates featuring in a @hennylees still life!! This is the wonderful generous woman who missed out on buying something in my sale for @wwf_australia and sent £50 anyway! So I managed to find a piece to send her... and this is it! Against the most gorgeous backdrop 😍 I now have serious wallpaper envy!! Xx
