I am pleased to say that I enjoyed a very successful show at Art in Clay, Hatfield. In addition to good sales and marvelous weather, I met some very lovely people, both exhibitors and visitors alike. Thank you to all of you who visited my stand, and for your positive feedback.
After a holiday and catch up with family and friends it's back to the studio to start on some new gallery pieces. My plan is to continue with the theme of a recent piece entitled 'Runaways', shown below.

| Runaways |
It's a kind of 'escape from the circus' theme, with a reminiscences of' 'Nellie the Elephant' meets Dali! (Whilst on holiday and browsing in a poster shop I spotted a couple of Dali prints - elephants and horses with long, spindly legs - which gave me the push to carry forward an idea I'd been planning for some time),

As with most of my work, it's meant to have a loose narrative which is open to interpretation. Escape and the search for freedom means so many things to so many people. The first of these new pieces is shown below - so far at 'biscuit' stage, ie. still to be glazed. I have yet to decide upon the rider who is going to sit atop the tall seat on the 'elephant's' back.
A second piece is in the making - image to follow soon.
I plan to keep you updated on the development of the new work as it progresses, so do come back in a week or two to see more.
