In May I was thrilled to receive an Arts Council of Wales grant to buy a new kiln (following a firing catastrophe with my old one) and time to produce new work for my upcoming Maker in Focus exhibition in the Mission Gallery, Swansea from 23 February to 3 April 2016.
As soon as possible I went up to Stoke to get the new kiln, had it installed and had a few test firings before taking a much needed holiday. Since then I’ve had a few more firings – still getting to grips with the controller – but work is now in progress.
