Fish on a stick

Not sure what’s the collective term for a pot full of ceramic fish!?

This shoal will be swimming at the magnificent Sculpture at Kingham Lodge exhibition. 1-9 May 2021. 

Set in 5 acres of beautiful grounds, over 400 sculptures are displayed as you would like to see them in your own garden. Prices start at £10 so there is something for everyone!

The exhibition is part of the wider Oxfordshire Art Week and although entrance is free to Kingham, you do have to book your viewing slot due to covid-19 restrictions.

Snail pace!

Taking time to appreciate the subtle effects of layering and wiping away slip decoration….

At the moment, these snail sculptures are at the leather hard stage (my favorite!) and still have to dry for a couple of weeks before going in the kiln.

Once they’ve been fired, the snails are to be exhibited at several garden sculpture exhibitions later this year.

As with a lot of my work, these pieces have an interactive element. Visitors will be able to gently rock the snails back and forth to create rhythmic sounds.
