I am currently working on making and using a wood fired kiln with Jo Arnold.  It is a fascinating business, more akin to alchemy than art or science.  In the meantime I have been working on paperclay porcelain, making a series called 'fragile'.  Jo and I are showing in Nrfolk's "Open Studios" at her studio in Bacton.  Studios are open on various dates between 23rd May and the 7th June.  Ours is open at weekends and by appointment.

Please contact me for more information.

The lark is a companion to the fish image. It rises from the wheat and sings so hard it spits feathers!

This image was made by combining the original non-toxic intaglio print image with some nifty work on my computer drawing software. (Well I think it was nifty!)

A non-toxic intaglio print made by drawing the image onto tru-grain and then burning it into the shaped plate. The wheat is embossed on at the printing stage.

This image is based on a Gustav Dore print of Leviathan arising from the sea. My image has little golden hopeful fishes rising above it/him.

These two are poems by Lisa D'Onofrio for the 'Pastons 'Country' book.  The story of the book is told on the website www.pastonheritage.co.uk but I include these because they are not in the facsimile book and are rarely seen.  I decorated and printed them...
