giveaway / free pair of tickets for CAL

*************************************************

2 and a bit weeks to go 'til CAL and still lots to do....
I'm unpacking my last kiln tomorrow so can't wait to see who comes out.

If you are visiting you may be interested to know that I've got 1 pair of tickets to give away.  
This will save you £24 on the entry fee and includes a catalogue, oh yes!

Email me before the end of the day on Sunday 14 February or leave a comment on this very post and I will put your name in the hat, the draw will take place on Monday.

More details about the show can be found at ceramics.org.uk

lastly tonight .......a farewell to Lucienne Day who died a few days ago.  I love her work and  always get something out of revisiting it ....we have a Night and Day tea-towel in a frame in our hallway, the sun changes colour throughout the day. 

I'm firing my last few pieces for CAL which starts in {less than} three weeks time!  I'll have several new heads and faces, so I'm really looking forward to spending some time with them. Just finalising the stand layout at the moment which is great fun -  messing about with furniture.  I was going to use the new chair but I think the new stool may win out. More info here about visiting the show, other exhibitors and all that stuff.

Kenny the gone wrong tiger

I spent the morning thinking, planning and going through my old sketchbooks.  One has a card from a show we visited at The Photographers' Gallery.  In the exhibition was a picture of Kenny  by Taryn Simon I seem to have made him happier than in real life, he has great head markings but that doesn't make him right.

I want to visit The Museum of Everything. I'd forgotten all about it then stumbled upon an article in Modern Painters.
