TEMPORARY CLOSURE: To all of my customers waiting TEMPORARY CLOSURE: To all of my customers waiting for your orders that were due to go out this week and next.

My studio is closed, as are my firing services, and I am not able to send out any orders that were due for delivery this week and next week. We have entered a 5 day snap lockdown here in Victoria, due to the UK strain of COVID-19 looking to have entered our community.

I’m sorry for the delays, I will adjust my schedule around the lockdown and get your orders to you as soon as I can access the kilns and my studio again. I expect a 1-2 week delay at this stage. 

Please DM me if you need more information or have any concerns. 

Most importantly, be safe, be kind, be strong and we’ll get through it. 💕💕

Is this what you hear when you create something? M Is this what you hear when you create something? Meet the LIST MONSTERS!!! 😲

Quite often, and especially when I am making work with others, I hear quite a list of reasons people feel they are not very good at ceramics (or anything creative, really). These reasons also float around in my own head too. 

It's difficult, but possible to get the List Monsters to shush a bit, and let you get on with the important job of creative work. My approach comes from Keith Johnstone's Theatresports(TM) - celebrating failure. Yep, actually CELEBRATE everything that goes wrong in creative practice (and beyond). For more information on how celebrating failure can help chase away the List Monsters, please visit my new blog. 

What is your approach when the list monsters strike?

ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF MY NEW BLOG

Sometimes, you just get the bug, when someone puts some clay in your hands. It reminds us of playing with Play-Doh as children.

How do you find your way to creative 'play' as an adult?
