It's that time of year again to wish my reader- happy Christmas! Just time to plug a Christmas/ New Year exhibition down in Westcliff on Sea at the WOA Gallery. http://idea13.org/event/november-preview-westcliff-art/ Some assorted work is en route. (see below- prior to boxing and sending) It's been a manic time combining teaching and getting stuff ready for exhibitions and sales. I will be glad of a rest and the chance to make some new pots again. I wish everyone a very happy and peaceful New Year. See you next year!

I was really pleased to have my "Pisces" pot featured in Ceramic Review's current January/February edition. It's in the Gallery section, and from previous experience- it's tremendously difficult to get your work submitted! I was lucky this time, a good photo helped- which seemed to capture the essence of the pot. Anyhow- at £9.50 per copy- CR mag is not cheap- but you can subscribe to it's online edition for a lot less than the print edition. It's always a fascinating read for potters, and full of good ideas and often quite radical work. On the front cover is sculptor Kerry Jameson. That's my pot in the bottom left corner.
