It took me eight months to make these because of life’s challenges and not being able to get to the Ceramics’ Studio studio in Ettington. I finally them decorated last week and they will be in Open Studios - Sat 13th and 14th Dec. Two floors of ceramics by members and our tutors, Gaye and Leyla.

My creative year has mostly been about exploring and experimenting in my sketchbooks. Over the summer I started to make my own collage papers, and I played around with different tools and materials. Its all kept me in a creative flow, even when life was challenging.

Our new artist-in-residence @joannacampbell.bsky.social won NFFD’s novella-in-flash comp in 2022 with her NIF ‘Sybilla’. She also designed its stunning cover. If you would like to WIN a FREE copy & live in the UK, please comment in the link below & we’ll draw 2 names out of a hat on 18 Dec.

Congratulations all!

I’ve decided to hang up my hat at NFFD as I move in a new creative direction, visually. Its been a privilege and such a wonderful experience. Thank you to Diane, Ingrid and Tino for asking me to be a part of the the team and to everyone who said lovely things about my work over the years. X

Yay! Excited to read your stories.
