I've just returned from Art In Clay at Hatfield after a fantastic show. Not only was it blindingly hot with cloudless skies and long pleasant summer evenings but I was presented with my prize for winning the Peers Award.
The man in the hat, presenting my prize is Alan Ault from Valentines Clays, who sponsor the Award and the pot in my hand is a beautiful lidded jar made by Fleen Doran, who was apprenticed and works with Micki Schloessingk. Wood fired salt-glaze..
It was also good to meet so many people who read this blog + thus reassure me that I am not just posting into the void.
