Looking forward to exciting new projects and teaching new techniques to our young ceramicists this term. Always blown away by what they create with their imaginations and hands. Anyone have any fun suggestions for our hand-building projects this term? #ceramics #kids #pottery

Belated Happy New Year! I am excited about a year full of meeting new friends, spending time with old friends and making some magic with amazing people. Here I am sat with my work, ‘I must go down to the seas again’ at ARC Padstow, St Issey, Cornwall.

Wonderful to see creations develop and work alongside my wonderful students at CLAY at The Ringway, Grove Park GroveParkCommGroup ✨

💥 ARTISTS APPLY!

These large hand-built beauties have gone into the kiln at GroveParkCommGroup ! They have been drying out for weeks to avoid any explosions. Can’t wait to see them glazed. Well done to all our brilliant ceramicists on some exciting builds! #clayattheringway #claygrovepark #ceramics

All being well, by tomorrow night I'll have travelled 1515km by train and bus in a week. Zagreb to Birmingham via Ljubljana, Stuttgart, Brussels and London. All that to come in Episode 4 of high-flier, catch up on episodes 1-3 here: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/high-…

📢📢Calling #Lewisham Nature Lovers 📢📢 Save Grove Park’s Willow Tree Wetlands from developer assault Despite environmental protections, the retail park developer that owns the Willow Tree Wetlands is using heavy machinery to destroy trees and habitats. Happening right now.

This is awful. Is the space that is supposed to become the Railway Children Urban National park? If so Brenda Dacres OBE this was part of the Mayor of Lewisham’s manifesto. Please help!

This is heartbreaking. Just over a year ago they lost the appeal to develop & now they think they can bypass getting permission, by wiping away all evidence of #biodiversity. #Wildlifecrime. CPRE London @WildLondon QWAG Gary Grant Climate Action Lewisham Biodiversityloss Lawyers for Nature

@RingwayGardens CPRE London @WildLondon Gary Grant Climate Action Lewisham Biodiversityloss Lawyers for Nature Blows apart developer’s claim at planning appeal to be one who cared for the site’s wildlife & ecological condition. Developer only scraped O.64% #BNG (could be a net loss) this harm makes hitting 10% harder, breaches mitigation hierarchy & rule on harm to sites pre-development.
