After a hectic two weeks in the studio, dealing with repairs, wax creations, casting, an exploding carbon crucible, and electrics blowing, I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks being a little more chilled.
There are still plenty of jobs ahead: around 80 cast pieces to clean up, five commissions to finish, and preparations to make for Hampshire Open Studios, which starts on 22nd August.
Today, however, I took some much-needed time to rest. I sat by the ocean for a little energy healing, enjoyed the peace of the sea, and spent some time blackberry picking. A perfect reminder to slow down, recharge, and appreciate the simple things before diving back into the studio.
I hope you enjoy a sneak peak at the new one-of-a-kind pieces launching for Hampshire Open Studios.
