For the next two weeks Gravesend Market will be exhibiting four artists work. I was particularly impressed with these pastels by Paul. The photos are terrible but the paintings are fantastic, in fact they are so good we all thought they were photographs.

I hadn't made any pottery for ages but was recently involved in a project with Colony: A Community of Artists We each made a linocut and pressed them into a clay tablet. These will now be bisque fired and possibly painted and fired again. I had a bit of clay left over so made a cat which will probably go into Colony's exhibition in October.

I see I've had a lot of views over the past few days, so thought I had better post something new. Here's a clock that I'm making at college, unfortunately I couldn't finish it because of the coronavirus, 3 flower pots that were a commission, and finally my new hobby of felting.
