warm potter.

The weather gods must have read last week's post and took pity on me by sending some sunshine my way! Huzzah! 

One the second Tuesday of June since the beginning of time, the Red Arrows have visited the island. They bring out the kid in me and this year we had a particularly good spot to watch them from. 

I've spent most of the week catching up on admin work - preparing my tax return, doing May's accounts, updating this here website, making lists upon lists for my trip, sifting through my iTunes library in an effort to retrieve some hard drive space. Exciting stuff eh.

I broke my 'no studio during TT week' rule yesterday and spent a glorious day glazing, applying decals, banding and painting, all with regular sunshine breaks. 

I'm thrilled to be part of the @trienseek treasure hunt at the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Canberra this July! This wee pourer will be coming with me to find a new home in Oz! To take part in the treasure hunt, you need to have an Instagram account, follow @trienseek and myself - @kathryn.mitchell - and be in Canberra between 9th and 11th of July!

I received some super exciting post yesterday: a mug from eikcam ceramics! I bought a piece of Grace's work on Granville Island in Vancouver about 3 years ago, and thanks to the power of social media we're now in touch and have just traded cups across the world! Thanks Grace!
