JUNE EVENTS
Firstly I am delighted to announce that I have been offered a place at this year's Art in Action, Waterperry House, Oxfordshire. This amazing event has been running for 40 years and sadly this is to be the last one ever, which is a great pity. If you have never been, do try to visit this year 14th - 17th July. I shall be exhibiting in the 'Market Place'. http://www.artinaction.org.uk/
In the meantime..........
SURREY ARTISTS OPEN STUDIOS
http://www.surreyopenstudios.org.uk/
This annual event will take place from 4-19 June 2016 (see below for opening dates and times)
So it's almost time for Open Studios which starts this coming weekend, Saturday 4th June, and I am frantically trying to get my studio and garden ready for visitors.
In addition to my current range of indoor figurative pieces you will be able to see earlier works as well as a few garden sculptures.
The large 'rabbit' figure is a type of Alice in Wonderland fantasy character. Handbuilt using slabs and coils and decorated with underglazes, this piece is designed to stay in the garden all year round. Made in two sections, the head is cemented to the body after firing.
This garden sculpture was made in thrown sections with added modeled features, decorated with underglaze colours and high fired. By making in sections I was able to produce something taller than the internal height of my kiln. The whole thing can be slotted over a metal pole which is inserted into the ground, to give it stability. Suitable to be left outside all year round.
Birds on metal spikes to dot around the garden.
In addition you will find lots of indoor figurative pieces and some of my earlier works including jesters, feathered birds and jugs, plus some new fish mobiles.
Feathered chickens for the home
And my current figurative pieces.
I shall be opening my lovely garden studio on the following dates:
3 weekends of 4/5, 11/12 and 18/19 June, plus Tues 7/14, Thurs 9/16 (evenings only), and Friday 10/17th. (In other words, every day apart from Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursday day time).
Opening hours are 11am - 5pm, and Thursday evenings, 6-8.30pm.

Brochures are available in various public locations such as libraries, but all the info is online, including an interactive map, individual artists web pages and so on.
This is a great opportunity for members of the public to visit artists in their own studios or with a group of artists. Meet the makers and see and buy their work direct.
LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING LOTS OF NEW VISITORS AND CATCHING UP WITH OLD FRIENDS. HOPE YOU CAN COME.
Just a few days after Open Studios ends I shall be packing up and travelling to Nottingham where I shall be exhibiting for the first time at Earth and Fire.
