Shaun Hall's Raku Ceramics Blogspot

Back at the Minories over the weekend of Nov 30th to Dec 1st, for the annual Christmas Crafts event in Colchester. It's a nice weekend to meet local customers and chat to other makers such as wood turner Nicholas Rowe, designer Blonde Eyed Girl and  view other potters creations such as the fantastic talented Ann- Marie Jacobs recently seen on bbc tv no less!  http://island-artists.uk/home/anne-marie-jacobs/  https://societyofdesignercraftsmen.org.uk/our-makers/nicholas-rowe www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BlondEyedGirl

I had the pleasure of popping along to the Buckenham Galleries in Southwold, Suffolk yesterday to drop off some new work for their summer show. It's always enjoyable and I had a nice chat about art with  curator/owner  Graham. I've been lucky to have work with them for over 10 years now. So a celebration of sorts! http://www.buckenhamgalleries.co.uk/

I was really pleased to send some new work to the Ledbury Art Gallery in Herefordshire this week. It's an offshoot of the Lion Street and Erwood Station Galleries. I've been busy double boxing and wrapping pots so hopefully it's a good representation of my current work. Bon Voyage! Aside from that, the sodium silicate test pots are coming along nicely, and I've been glaze testing in the new Cromartie kiln. This time it's stoneware temperature, but the effects I've been perservering with have a little of the immediacy and tactile quality of Raku...so more on that later I hope! A additional range perhaps.
