March 2008

It has been a busy yet stagnant few months for this blog.

I am continually amazed how much time children take up and am awed by the mums out there who blog on a regular or even daily basis....and the children I have been around aren't even mine!

I received an invitation last week for an Exhibition by Sam Hall at the Lemon Street Gallery and although I won't be making it I thought I'd post an image...His work has inspired me for several years and I now wish I had bought a piece when I had a chance as I am sure that they are beyond my price range.

His work is a sophisticated cross between the complicated craft of ceramics and innovative skill of painting, the surface of each piece is raised and distressed through the use of multiple layers of glaze and coloured slip which react with eachother and differently at fired temperatures.

I hope you like them as much as me! Check out Lemon Street Gallery for better images.
