I'm still here!

I'm still here! It's been a manic few weeks, with really long days and late nights and I've had to drop out of the virtual world for a while. I just had the best firing that I ever had - it's so good to have the kiln working properly at last. These pots are for my solo show that opens in just over two weeks in Thoresby Hall.
I'll post better pictures when I get them, but if you would like to see the pots in more detail and can make it along, it would be great to see you at the private view, on the 19th November.


There's a picture of this jug before it was fired, at the end of this post.
These pictures are in a jumble, but I'm too tired to sort them out. Here are Alex and Hannah, two thirds of my fantastic firing crew, visiting the Burton Art Gallery, the day after the firing.
And here's the other fine stoker, my old buddy Andrew Frank' Grundon. Marky Mark's away in Mexico at the moment, so he missed this one.
Ah, slippy dishes, we're going back in time here

Drinking bowls for an exhibition in Japan.
The tall jug, pictured earlier in this post, before it was fired.

Well that was brief, but at least you know I'm still alive. Back soon with some better pics, bye for now.
