A step in the right direction

I met three of the committee after lunch today, plus a blacksmith who makes sculptures from recycled materials...and Damascus steel Sgiain Dhubh!!

We are both "in" , provisionally for a year ..then hopefully carry on.

They like my prints..but really want my pots as well, so I have to sort what I have....

And the Oily One has had a nudge regarding the flue.....the person who will be welding it for him is away this week.. ironically in Scotland!

Cue more sorting in the study....

And they wanted a photograph of me, preferably working. 

There is only one, from a long long time ago.

I've always been the one behind the camera!!

But I don't look too different now.

  3. Apparently it’s a thing usually the mum, grandmother or other female is the one taking the pictures. So when they pass the family have very little to remember them with.
    I think you look very industrious working on the wheel.

  6. I may have missed where you'll be showing your work - for a year! A gallery in town? Congrats! That's a great photo of you working in clay. And it will require enlisting a very skilled photographer to capture you cutting your designs...a harder topic to display the delicate nature of the work!

    1. It is on a Scottish National Trust property.. Culzean Castle ( check your WW2 history for the USA connection)
      The stable courtyard has been converted to several shops, the gallery and a café.
      Another building holds a decent secondhand bookshop
