Half way through a pottery painting
Painting a plate with pottery paint is interesting because on firing the paints liven into bold colours. These are the first attempts to put some iPad drawings onto clay goods.

As a teenager working with clay I made a couple of horses – this, the most ambitious is a Boudica figurine mounted bareback on a robust horse. Fight on, ladies.
My first horse and green glazed and it did not collapse in the kiln. A quiet studio for it to dry in was essential. One ear missing now.
One week to make the slabs and hardened enough to model together in week 2. I had never seen a tower on the side of a building; Edinburgh is full of them, so is France.
