The studio shelves are heaving with new pots for events in July! 

Next week I'll be out on the fair field on Tynwald Day amongst excellent foodies, makers, and of course, Vikings. That's Wednesday 5th July, 9am - 5pm!

Allowing just enough time after that to finish some extra pots and fire the kiln, the Celtfest Artisan Craft Fair is returning on Saturday 15th July, 12 - 5pm! This year it's part of The Gathering family day in Peel Cathedral and the neighbouring Corrin Hall, with mini-performances and workshops from Manx and visiting performers and teachers, as well as storytelling! To top it off, there will be PIZZA from Black Dog Oven and ICE CREAM from Stixx - hurray!

I've set myself up with a PayPal card reader, so I will be able to accept card payments for the first time - woohoo!

I was delighted to post a fresh batch of cups, side plates and pourers to the MOSTYN gallery shop last week, to be part of their Fauna showcase, I See A Creature, over the summer!

Based in Llandudno (must practice correct pronunciation...), Mostyn is the leading gallery for contemporary art in Wales. Founded in 1901 by Lady Augusta Mostyn, supposedly it was the first venue in the world specifically designed to exhibit the work of female artists, who were at that time excluded from the wider art scene. ACE!
