Fashion Sweet fashion

Secondary Schools and Sixth Form Colleges Fashion & Textiles Exhibition at CCANW Haldon Forest
Dress made out of Maltesers packets !
Of course this skirt attracted me being made out of Shrunken Crisp packets and more recycled stuff ! A Fun Exhibition and so good to see young people taking recycling seriously!!!

I have two spaces left on the smoke firing workshop with Bridget Arnold.  The workshops are on saturday the 12th and 19th march from 10-4pm £90 for both days.  The making and burnishing of work will be on the 12th smoke firing 19th.  This is an excellent opportunity for anybody interested in low-impact firing and creating design and pattern using smoke

Firing Up Tavistock!

I started the Firing Up Project in Tavistock yesterday, on the way there I stopped to get a photo of Drake's statue with Globe on the roundabout near the college- it was a beautiful day for a drive over the moors as you can see by the colour of the sky!
It started well teaching year 8's how to make pinch pots and explaining about Tags, tabs and traces !
