Instead of tidying up Saturdays recycled china workshop, I decided to enjoy the beautiful chaos and play 😁

This little recycled china hare has already found his forever home, and I'm now busy creating a new collection of hares - also called a 'drove', 'down' or 'husk' of hares!



One of my favourite parts of the process is searching through old plates and cups, looking for tiny details, delicate patterns and colours that will become ears, eyes, tails and little finishing touches. Every piece of china has lived another life before becoming part of a mosaic.



A group of three hares is known as a leash!

I like using old cup handles for the hares back legs, releasing a handle from its cup is a little challenge of it's own, every piece of plate cuts a little differently too, and so each hare is truly unique!


If you've ever wondered how recycled china mosaics are made, I have a few places still available on my

Recycled China Workshop on 18th July

where you'll create your own unique mosaic using beautiful reclaimed china.

There's a mix of excitement and nerves when you're preparing work for a new gallery.
Over the last few days I've been selecting, framing and photographing a collection of mosaics ready for my guest artist display in Tavistock. Each piece has been made by hand in my North Devon studio, using combinations of recycled china, and tiles.
Seeing individual pieces come together as a collection makes me look at them in a different way before they leave the studio.
Which one catches your eye?

I recently had the pleasure of attending a talk by textile artist Kaffe Fassett at Cowslip Workshops in Cornwall.
Kaffe spoke about his lifelong fascination with colour, pattern, travel, and the way inspiration can be found everywhere around us. Looking around the exhibition of quilts and textiles, it was easy to see how fearless use of colour can create such energy and joy.
As a mosaic artist, I often find inspiration beyond my own medium, and I came away full of ideas about colour combinations, pattern, repetition, and the importance of trusting your creative instincts.
A real highlight was having the opportunity to meet Kaffe and his partner Brandon Mably and have a couple of books signed.
Days like this remind me how valuable it is to step away from the studio occasionally and fill the creative well.
Have you ever found inspiration for your work from a completely different art form?
