It took me eight months to make these because of life’s challenges and not being able to get to the Ceramics’ Studio studio in Ettington. I finally them decorated last week and they will be in Open Studios - Sat 13th and 14th Dec. Two floors of ceramics by members and our tutors, Gaye and Leyla.

My creative year has mostly been about exploring and experimenting in my sketchbooks. Over the summer I started to make my own collage papers, and I played around with different tools and materials. Its all kept me in a creative flow, even when life was challenging.
