Fibre and Clay launched

Well, it's up and running. We had a fabulous night last night, plenty of nibbles and drinks and, of course, friends coming to help celebrate. I must thank everyone who came, I do appreciate the support.

I was really nervous beforehand, hoping that everything would be alright, but I needn't have worried. The room was full and there were plenty of appreciative remarks about both Heather and my work.

I'll go again and get some more photos of the individual works (and see if any get sold?) over the next month, as it is up till the 3rd November.

Fibre and Clay

I have been quite busy of late turning these beautiful nylon warps into hopefully, some lovely works. I've been working toward my first 'not quite' solo exhibition.

I do love warps, they often intensify the colours and textures you're using and they hold such promise.

The thinner is 60 ends and the larger is 540 ends. However, after much angst, accidents (don't drop partially dented warps!) and redesign, the big warp was slightly smaller (320 ends!) Despite all this, all the new works that I've made have ended up achieving the result I wanted.

Today was the hanging. I spent all morning trying to get it all just right. Thank goodness the lovely Heather Wilson is there with her wonderful pots and dragons. The Bolin Bolin gallery is much larger when you have to put the work up. Finally, it's up and even looks OK.

If you're free Thursday night 6-8pm, we're having an opening, so please come along and help us celebrate our achievements, we'd love to see you.
