Nearly the beginning of April. I will be at the Spring Flower Show at Boconnoc near Lostwithiel this year. Saturday 2nd 10.00 am - 5.00pm and Sunday 3rd April, 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. It is a wonderful occasion in a beautiful setting, it marks the start of spring for me. I really look forward to talking to people about my work and meeting previous customers and regular show visitors. Further information from www.cornwallflowershow.co.uk
I will also be at a new event at Coombe Trenchard 'Arts and Crafts' garden near Okehampton, Devon. This is in June on the 17th and 18th. Further information from www.coombetrenchard.co.uk

Spring is nearly here

I really am rubbish at this blogging business! It's now March, I must write more regularly. I went to Charlestown this morning, a beautiful small harbour about 10 mins drive away which is home to two beautiful Square Rigger ships. It is always so magical to sit and watch the sea and feel the history of the place. Even more evocative early or late in the year without lots of tourists. I am so lucky to live with this on the doorstep.
Things are beginning to grow in the garden and I am now watching to see what has been damaged by the dreadful winter.
I have just finished a new commission - picture above, and I am working on some examples of a new idea for water features which are made of 3 stacked forms. The one pictured here is something of a" work in progress", I would be interested to get some opinions and feedback. By making them this way I can make taller forms than the kiln would normally allow. If a supporting metal tube and stand is used it could have more than 3 elements.
