They had been saved from the skip when my old childhood home was cleared and were taking up space in his new home- so now reluctantly they were here and I had the task of sorting through and disposing of any rubbish as I am a massive hoarded and am already full to capacity !</span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After a lot of cringing at my old art work, although there were a few gems. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eMLhBsB36a7gLLS9ijxnG1W4GeVtJGKkxxd2Q028NJ0-O2kIzEVy8EaJFLRlhZOJdCNq1eqhglNYyMgxfaNQHmq0g_d0F7N6UEjEbEATfdxnfdjj2yqMEF7pQWLVj_hmTcvI1aYxFjzL/s1600/IMG_3652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eMLhBsB36a7gLLS9ijxnG1W4GeVtJGKkxxd2Q028NJ0-O2kIzEVy8EaJFLRlhZOJdCNq1eqhglNYyMgxfaNQHmq0g_d0F7N6UEjEbEATfdxnfdjj2yqMEF7pQWLVj_hmTcvI1aYxFjzL/s320/IMG_3652.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I found amongst them an illustrated report on The Beatrice Royal Contemporary Art Gallery. A wonderful venue sadly missed as it was closed in the early naughties. This was where I got my first taste of contemporary craft including my current favorite disciplines of ceramics and printmaking. Later I worked as a volunteer gallery assistant during holidays and even assisted the curator visiting "Top draw" to select that years Christmas exhibition work for the craft gallery although I have forgotten exactly which year that was.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The main purpose of this post however is my delight in the rediscovery of ceramicist and "flying potter" <a href="http://jonwilliamspottery.co.uk/?page_id=17">Jon Williams</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwvtZFi4Ffflj-rHRcC-2-8C2N9UzpdbpuSlFAL-P68qYdvb4Gt_Hjgb8zaiGUiaWutRqL0iV0n_SEtMst-mMDj3hVvDC3VXitg3BB9UL57R77xAsvz0ao5b-7zZ5DgwfuDhJLhR5G03aZ/s1600/182518466_CsC4QDc7_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwvtZFi4Ffflj-rHRcC-2-8C2N9UzpdbpuSlFAL-P68qYdvb4Gt_Hjgb8zaiGUiaWutRqL0iV0n_SEtMst-mMDj3hVvDC3VXitg3BB9UL57R77xAsvz0ao5b-7zZ5DgwfuDhJLhR5G03aZ/s1600/182518466_CsC4QDc7_c.jpg" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I had forgotten the feeling of discovering his work for the first time all those years ago probably around 1996/7 when at the tender age of 16/17. I had first admired his work in the <a href="http://www.haddowpartnership.co.uk/ProjectDetail.asp?PType=COMMUNITY&P_ID=18">Beatrice royal</a> (image of the gallery as it was) I knew nothing of ceramics but fell in love with the curvy organic forms, it is only now looking back at the work I've produced over the last 14 year I realise just how much Jon's work had inspired and informed my own. The work I'd been producing during my A levels seemed to be bright brash and sometimes angular and very unrefined as you might expect. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">All of these things are very unlike what I produce now. Although colour is important my shapes and patterns nearly always start with nature inspired curves and circles with more harmonious colour pallets. Back then I had not yet developed my love of gardening and plant forms, this came later when I suddenly felt I was missing something moving to Stoke and not having plants around me in my student house unlike my family home which I had always taken for granted during my childhood.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As well as seeing Jon William's work in a gallery context and reading the printed out artist info leaflet which accompanied the exhibition (very high tech-life before the Internet as we know it !) I also met Jon at the Chelsea craft fair on my first ever visit I can honestly say that was it a turning point for me I didn't know what I wanted to make yet but I knew I now aspired to exhibit there at Chelsea. Jon was very approachable and I remember him humoring my probably very naive bet genuine questions most likely including that old chestnut "where do you get your inspiration from ?" !! </span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And so 14 or so years later here I am looking through my old work and preparing for my next project developing my ceramic practice and here was my original inspiration ! Now with the power of google and the vastness of today's Internet resource it was only a matter of a few click's before I found Jon again and was watching a video about his current work on his Website.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/5N3yas0uJWA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Listening to him took me back to that conversation at Chelsea and I was no surprise to me that he is now splitting his time between his own practice a teaching. I was also very please to see that he is based really quite close to me and regularly works in the West Midlands.</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I came to Stoke on Trent to study craft over a decade ago at the time specialising in fine metals. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I remember being in lecture about the ceramics industry and being board with the history lesson of dates and names. Only recently </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I finally discovered my love for ceramics after ignoring it for years. perhaps the clay has slowly seeped into me through my pores its taken 10 years !</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Or more likely its because im a hands on person and I completely agree with Jons view that working with clay really is more like play.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> It was only getting hands on with the material not thinking about design but just enjoying the tactile qualities on a recent project about tea that really got me interested in its potential. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>Sift</b> the flour into a large bowl with the bicarb and ginger.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>rub in</b> (tickle) the butter into the flour until you see a bread crumby texture.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>mix</b> in the sugar.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">now <b>combine</b> the egg and golden syrup in another bowl/mug</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">(yes it is a very funny consistancy!)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>tip</b> the eggy mix over the flour and <b>get you hands in!</b></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>mix and squish </b>together <b>until a ball forms</b> (i always gently rub it round the bowl to pick any crumbs).</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> <b>Wrap</b> in cling film <b>pop it in the fridge</b>, sit down and have a cuppa etc youve deserved it. ( you can clean up too if you like lol!)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>After 30mins</b> in the fridge (a hour is better, any longer and the dough may need to come back to room temp a little before working)take out your dough.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><b>preheat you oven to 190c/375f/gas 5 (but watch out if you have a fan oven like me things often dont need as long of as high a temp, but you know your oven better than me)</b></span></b></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><b></b></span>sprinkle</b> the surface you are working on with flour grab your rolling pin and <b>roll</b> out your dough to about half a cm thick (could be thicker could be thinner you choose but keep an eye on them while they are cooking, also you may have trouble getting a very thin biscuit off your surface and onto you papered tray)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>play time !</b> cut out what ever shapes you like and have fun, imprint patterns if you ike too!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>transfer</b> you cut outs <b>onto a tray,</b> leaving a bit of space around each one as <b>they will spread a little</b>, and <b>pop into the oven</b> for 12-15 mins (5-10 in mine) they should be more golden and well cooked looking when they are done.(if you like cruchy gingerbread leave them in a tad longer than if you want them a tiny bit soft which is easier to control on larger biscuits like me or ladies) You can play about with this each time you make them, because <b>you will make them again and again trust me!</b></span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">(i made mine in <b>batches of 6 to a tray</b>, and rotated them in the oven to make the whole batch over an hour, removing cooling and puting in fresh trays until all the dough was used, <b>you could freeze some</b> to make later-removing a good while before use to defrost-early morning for late afternoon baking)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>After they have cooled you can ice them</b> im not going to tell you how to make the icing because all this typing has made me loose the will to live a little! The packet should tell you but however you choose to decorate it <b>have fun and enjoy your gingerbread</b> people/stars/hearts/flowers/circles/dogs etc etc etc etc the possibilities are endless !</span></li>

It is being delivered free to budding creative practitioners in my area as part of <a href="http://psi3commissions.wordpress.com/about/">Place , Space and Identity</a>. We are being inspired by a combination of inspirational guest speakers and the ever enthusiastic <a href="http://helgahenry.com/">Helga Henry</a> who is delivering the course. I feel thoroughly invigorated by the experience and Helga really makes you believe in yourself, such a positive experience. I really couldn't recommend it enough if you ever get the chance to take part.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It is just part of my current growth spurt in my creative endeavours. I had been sad to finish the college year all to soon and expected things to become a little quieter over the summer break, but instead the momentum seems to be gathering pace !</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am very excited to be exhibiting in my first solo exhibition at <a href="http://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/leisure/librariesnew/branchlibraries/NewcastleLibrary/NewcastleLibrary.aspx">Newcastle Under Lyme library</a> from the 4th till 12 August 2011. Which has all been made possible due to my partnership with Newcastle Under Lyme's <a href="http://www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/news_release.asp?id=SX2FE4-A7811C76&cat=1140">Britain in Bloom</a> team participation. I am currently completing the remaining 6 pieces of the collection of 21, celebrating there long history of success in both the regional and national competitions. I am very honored to be invited to the Judges Lunches where my work will also be exhibited to demonstrate community involvement along with the many other excellent projects undertaken by local community groups and school children. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Britain in Bloom is a great example of how people from all parts of the community can come together to achieve something to be proud of. I hope that this is just the start of my relationship with the annual event and also act as a spring board to develop working relationships with the groups and individuals involved with it.</span></div>Petals & Berrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16153617579435490288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679221240259781080.post-49701322674233787522011-06-24T19:34:00.000+01:002011-06-24T19:34:00.026+01:00Britain in Bloom<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5rCv-DDUKmw7VV135TP_Ddv5C2MYsHCqvFjCObcaNRlf2wIpv6Q-93K3VFIZauh-l5yJ11HtsUNdDCiwLs3xxZPH-hFDduZ19oD0GlCsmqywWhcpXQ6qhAmQQrFsYqM8XAbdq79IHiuk5/s1600/bib10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5rCv-DDUKmw7VV135TP_Ddv5C2MYsHCqvFjCObcaNRlf2wIpv6Q-93K3VFIZauh-l5yJ11HtsUNdDCiwLs3xxZPH-hFDduZ19oD0GlCsmqywWhcpXQ6qhAmQQrFsYqM8XAbdq79IHiuk5/s320/bib10.jpg" width="212" /></a></div><br />

I'm breaking the rules though.... I was supposed to start with one paperclip. But instead after a little looking around have found one plastic chicken. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I had been feeling a little sad that I would not be seeing many people as I would not be going into college until next Thursday by which time this mini project would be over so began to think perhaps i could make this a very sociable project visiting people id not seen in a while as well as talking to people i see every day but do little other than the everyday conversation. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One little plastic chicken was going to be my object for swapping, however I've grown quite attached to her so instead i am going to do two things,</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Find a paper clip for swapping</span></li>
</ul><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Take the little plastic chicken with me as a constant companion on my travels and possibly gather a few traveling companions on the way</span></li>
</ul><br />
