We had a wonderful day this week, a day of art and creativity supported by a friend who has a lovely studio full of art materials and a patient and kind way of being. We wanted some time out of making with clay in order to think about developing some new work for an exhibition later this year, looking at the Argyll temperate rainforest, what treasures there are there and what is missing across the county too.

First of all, we wrote out what our work means just now and what our hopes are. Then, we got to play with some inks, papers and gelli plates. We then tore and cut up the work to create a collage of something new. At first our works seemed so different to one another but when we placed them together, we could see how they reflected each other – a little like our stoneware and raku work, brought together by the poetry across each piece.

When we have had a little more time to reflect, we are going to do the same again, cutting and tearing each page and creating something new together – we’ll post it on here and on our socials, so do check it out and stay tuned!
