It took me eight months to make these because of life’s challenges and not being able to get to the Ceramics’ Studio studio in Ettington. I finally them decorated last week and they will be in Open Studios - Sat 13th and 14th Dec. Two floors of ceramics by members and our tutors, Gaye and Leyla.

Small green and blue handless mugs with abstract design that sit in the hand. Some also vivid red mark-making. My hand-made, hand-painted ceramic pieces on display at The Ceramics’ Studio, Ettington as part of Open Studios on 13th and 14th December.

My creative year has mostly been about exploring and experimenting in my sketchbooks. Over the summer I started to make my own collage papers, and I played around with different tools and materials. Its all kept me in a creative flow, even when life was challenging.

Images from sketchbooks, closed, including closed eye contour drawing, colour and mark-making experiments. Also some images contain collaged pieces.

Happy National Flash Fiction Day! For the first time, the plan is to post FlashFlood stories and Write-In prompts here, but our scheduler isn't quite working. La! We're on the case...and we'll make sure each story gets a post one way or another....

If you're an unpublished flash writer, I can recommend subbing here. I was first published by FlashFlood in one of its debut slots. It gave me the confidence to keep writing prose fiction.
