A huge thank you to and editor for another beautiful issue. I am so delighted to see my work on the cover; what a fantastic surprise!
This piece was inspired by poet Frances Moore for our group exhibition last summer and was also part of the Ceramics Ireland Clay Works exhibition in the Botanic Gardens in August.
Looking at these pages, I’m struck by a lovely coincidence: a mention of the wonderful Mary Gallagher. It took me right back to the day when I was living in Wexford and I called into her gallery full of enthusiasm after spending a week doing a pottery course in Kinsale. She spent time with me going through the gallery, shared her private collection with me and told me about the summer pottery course in Grennan Mill and the Pottery Skills course, both in Thomastown. Doing that summer course lead me to the Pottery Skills course which lead me to ...well, here! 🙏Feeling very grateful!
