I've uploaded the drawings I did for my residency at Utrophia in April - just in case I didn't get enough stories to work with. I did, but the drawings were still great to do to get a sense of the area on a weekend. You can see the drawings on my website
Finds from the River Thames (the bottom picture shows Danny's finds). Salt glaze on the speckled brown pieces, English slipware on the brown wavy piece and Victorian transfers on the coloured pieces.
Above are some pictures from Craft Central's Imprint exhibition which was part of the London Design Festival. There was a range of print-making on show from a variety of artists who use print in their practice. I had a few pieces on show in the foyer section of the show, detailing the process of producing a lino cut ceramic piece.I showed pieces from a view in Altrincham, a view in Bologna and a view in Haworth.
Got a mention on the UAL London Design Festival coverage here.
I invigilated the show and loved Kethi Copeland's London-inspired prints on paper and furniture, Regina Heinz's meticulous wall ceramics, colourful prints from Katherina Manolessou and Hannah Victoria Locker and Annabel Williams' printed and engraved hangings.

I'm going to be showing a few of my wonky pots and tiles at Imprint at Craft Central. Here's a preview of my Haworth pot, inspired by my visit there and to the Bronte Parsonage.
Thanks again to everyone who visited 'Sightings' last week - we hope you enjoyed our viewpoint on Clerkenwell! We had a lot of fun putting it together.For those who didn't make it, here are photographs from the show. A huge thanks to Ben Ripley who took these photographs for us (apart from picture 7 which I took off Charlene Lam's Creative Clerkenwell Twitter Account and picture 11). You can see more of Freya's work on her website and do check out her Etsy if there is something you'd like to order! You can visit my website here and my Etsy here.
Thanks to Craft Central for letting us have the Showcase space!
Here are the eight embroideries I made of Clerkenwell to display at 'Sightings' - A dachshund in St John's Square, browsers in Leather Lane, a hipster in Saffron Hill, walking through Smithfields, loitering outside the Order of St John or taking a tour or having a tantrum.
A few pictures from our 'Sightings' private view at Craft Central on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone to visited throughout the show! We'll be updating our respective websites with images from the show over the next week.
