Resurfacing, mole-like, after a tidal wave of family stuff has washed over me over the last few months - I'm now off to the FAIR! "Form" to be exact, at Olympia, from 28th February to 2nd March. It's a fine art/craft fair dedicated to super things - that's the PR anyway! There are the Redferns and the Rebecca Hossachs, but also a mediaeval sounding artists' quarter with, we hope, sharp art on sale. Stand AA15 for me with mantlepiece pots, wall discs, glazed pots and tree chokers, etc.

Otherwise, beautiful spring sunshine down here, primroses, birds prospecting for nest sites. Dorset Art Weeks this year at the end of May/early June - always good fun with the garden at its best. The orchard/paddock will also be open some of the time with my "garden punctuation" dotted about. Wrote an article recently for the Craftsmen Potters Association newsletter about how and why I got started - I will try and attach it to this site - might even manage it! Computer skills still very last century - possibly even last but one! Growing strange Italian vegetables is much more fun!
