Nature & Solitude

Just home from a super mini blipmeet (with steveng & Gill, hildasrose & Rob, me & mrsfb) in Northleach Old Prison to see the very impressive Claudia Clare ceramics exhibition, Nature & Solitude. There were some amazing pots on display. I came away full of admiration for her considerable technical and artistic skills.

From her website: I'm a feminist artist who makes painterly pots, both large and small, in full colour and monochrome.  I use exclusive ceramic materials: a dark brown clay mix, coloured slips, sgraffito line, and clear glaze, sometimes with added enamel colour and lustre. The shattered pots are rebuilt using conservation grade adhesive and Gold, Platinum, or Aluminium leaf is used to gild the edges of shards to frame the internal images or emphasise a broken line.

Of course drinks and cakes were involved, and also, in my case, pizza, half of which I had to bring home in a takeaway box. There was also much discussion about cameras, electric cars and computers.
