Posted on by | Leave a comment

Wow it has been such a busy couple of months! I have finally updated all the sections under the “Wild about Ceramics 2019” heading (at the top of the screen)… Pages include info and images about: the ceramics the pupils have made, the NGS weekend, the after-school staff clay session, the RHS Tatton garden AND the recent trip to the Manchester Museum!!! During the summer holidays I shall be busy ensuring as much clay work gets fired as possible, in time for the September New Mills Arts Trail…

Here are pages from the New Mills School July Newsletter that feature what I have been doing at school. Entire Newsletter can be read here: https://www.newmillsschool.co.uk/assets/Uploads/Downloads/Newsletter-July-2019.pdf

Hey Clay! Ceramics Update

Posted on by | Leave a comment

Finally(!) after ten weeks all the lovely work from the Crafts Council’s Hey Clay! session on Saturday 18 May have been stoneware fired and ready to collect from September 2019. I am so happy with how they have all turned out – the sgraffito tiles are particularly successful, with all the amazing individual designs. I look forward to returning all the ceramics back to their owners…!

National Garden Scheme weekend at NMS

Posted on by | Leave a comment

It has been a busy first day of New Mills School’s National Garden Scheme weekend! As part of this event, today I have been and tomorrow I will be running free drop-in Art workshops in the School’s library space (situated next to the yummy tea and cake area!) where you will get the opportunity to create a 3D paper or clay flower, inspired by the beautiful flora in the surrounding gardens. Also on display inside is an installation of “Save Nature Flowers”, created this week by the new soon-to-be Year 7 students starting at NMS this September.
