This year, the group I belong to, Slowmakers, has taken up an artists' residency at Anteros in Norwich. We take it in turns to use the lovely studio there which has a large window facing onto Magdalen Street, and we also sell our work from there. I have some of my clay sculptures on display as well as my textile pieces.
I've continued with my ceramics class and I've been making porcelain pendants (samples below) I have been hanging them on silver chains or leather thongs.
I successfully entered another ceramic piece into the Anteros Open exhibition. Apparently at the Private View someone thought it was a plate of nibbles!
My woolly necklaces and brooches are still selling so I'm still making those
and I have some brooches in the shop at Norwich Castle Museum, to coincide with the recent exhibition, Inspired by Birds.
My brooches were inspired by feathers
I entered a tea cosy competition at the Port Eliot Festival in Cornwall (posted my entry - too far to travel!) I wasn't the winner, but the competition was sponsored by Fortnum and Mason and all the entries will be displayed in their store sometime soon.
