Ice surrenders to the river, Sky pools in quiet reflections. The world softens, water moves, and spring stirs awake. These vases, these mugs— glazed in the thaw, caught in the flow. #Spring #Handmade #Art

Today in the woods I walked a long way around the river, and in the spring sunshine it was easy to take good photos. Trametes versicolor. #SilentSunday #nature #macro #macrophotography #floodforest #mushroom #fungi

Well I've finally finished Silver Surprise which features birch trees near #SurpriseView I will have it framed and on display at my next event which is the @peakdistrictartisans Spring #Art Fair in Buxton 12/13 April. I might also enter it for a certain […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

From yesterday's raku firing: Dragon's Scale 🐉 Beneath the flames, a secret lies, A dragon's scale, where magic flies. Shimmering hues, a fiery glow, Strength and beauty from the potters throw. #art #dragon #sciart #pottery #raku More to come from the firing soon!

Cracked and bold, they bear the flame, Raku’s touch—no two the same. Glaze drips, a fleeting test, Fire’s kiss reveals the best. As part of my raku practice I often test glazes on smaller sized vases. These new pieces from our latest raku firing are now available. #art #raku #pottery

I'm planning some #EnPleinAir #PaintingWithYarn and following the theme I thought a Derbyshire quarry might be a good subject. This is a #Millersdale Quarry (now a nature reserve) just off the #MonsalTrail I had a nosy around today as the morning light was good […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I was at Chatsworth House yesterday, manning the @peakdistrictartisans #ShowcaseInTheShop with lino cut artist Katherine Rhodes. We took the opportunity to make a start on our #collaboration project (a sneak peek of our test piece here). Over 20 members have […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Well apologies for all the #LAOTY hype. Most disappointed that the producers found an inane woman who had never painted anywhere other than her kitchen more noteworthy than my #FineArtInStitch My brolly did make several appearances 😉 Here’s my finished piece […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I've been posting here for over 2yrs but only recently bridged to Bluesky to try and catch up with old contacts. A lot of bat biologists may ask 'why the art, where's the bats?' I will maybe give some thought to a big bat engraving. Meanwhile...

#HeadsUp my #LAOTY heat airs on Wed 19th 😉 #art For the submission piece I deliberately loosened my style to try and complete it in 4hr (ended up 7 but I tried) The others took with 40-50hr ea. Entry requirements state you be "prepared to produce a similar […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Since I wiped my IG, there’s no way for people to see my progress over the years. I’m thinking about adding a gallery of past work to my website to remedy this. 1st photo shows work from 2017, 2nd photo shows work from 2024. I started making #pottery in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Introducing, Triton's Tide. Born of sea and ice so bright, Triton sings in cosmic night. Neptune’s child, with storms untamed, Echoed here in glaze and flame. Frozen moon, a siren’s art, Bound by fire, worlds apart. #art #pottery #raku #ceramics #space #sciart #astronomy #mythology

The black on this mug comes from terra sigillata made from a ball of manganese-rich New Mexico clay my friend gave me. After they’re done firing, I lightly sand the exterior of each mug with a fine-grain sandpaper. The handles become smooth and soft to the touch.

A photograph from one of the most remote places in the UK, the Fisherfield Forest - about a 20km round trip hike from the nearest road. Perhaps rather alarmingly for an area named "forest", the landscape here is mostly treeless with only one tiny fragment of original […] [Original post on mas.to]

What a view for #LAOTY this week! As a wildcard in heat 4 (Llanberis Quarry) I arrived at heat 3 (Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon) the day before, just in time for judging. The view next day was just as impressive and was right up my street. I will share some photos from […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Ooh! Ooh! Mastodon has got BUSY! 😁 I'm setting up an exhibition this week (see below) so I might not get chance to look at new followers to follow back (here or with my alter ego Havoc). Hopefully by the weekend I'll get chance to sit down with my phone and […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

#BloomRolling for the #BloomScrolling this morning into the San Gabriel's. There isn't much flowering but I did find this invasive South American Tree Tobacco holding on, holding up, and holding sentry. Such a pleasure to see the mountains wet from rain and we […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

The new series of #LAOTY starts tomorrow & I was a #WIldcard this year! The only textile artist taking part in heat 4. Producing a stitched landscape in just 4 hours was quite a challenge, especially as my unusual medium drew a lot of interest and questions […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Amazing #hoarfrost today #ice #peakdistrict #frost

Lordy but it's cold out there! And very stressful getting anywhere atm. Made worse by the fact that our main sourse of information on roads and local weather (Buxton has its own micro climate) is Fb groups. I really dont want to be there but there isnt […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The #peakdistrict this morning. I am lost for words! After the week we have had!!! Residents struggling to work, gritters and farmers valiantly keeping what roads they can open - then the TOURISTS come 🤬 If you can't park in a car park (yes many have not […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I love living in the #PeakDistrict and the #snow is very pretty today but boy is it stressful getting anywhere! Life goes on though and I have managed to get my son to Buxton station most days this week. Main roads are generally OK, unless its actively snowing […] [Original post on mastodon.art]
