Results!

Well the results are out and I officially have a Foundation Degree with Distinction! Hoorah!
A really huge thank you to my husband (not just for the lovely bottle of bubbly!) but for putting up with all the stress and supporting me over the last 4 years of study. I hope I can start to repay him with some success now. I do feel this is just the beginning though as this is where the hard work begins, enlightening the world to Nicola Crocker Ceramics! 
Off to London for the day tomorrow to have my work photographed for a book 'Handmade in Britain'. This is to be launched in conjunction with the London Design Festival in September.
Shades of Clay at Atelier in Barnstaple during August.
Exhibition in Margate at The Pie Factory Gallery 3-30 September...... so lots to be getting on with!

WPA Potters Market

My friend Taz Pollard http://www.facebook.com/pages/Taz-Pollard-Ceramics/139302119425139 and I had a stall on the Quay in Exeter yesterday. Amazingly we had really good weather after what was a miserable week. There was a regatta going on at the same time too which attracted a few extra punters. Unfortunately sales weren't great (generally, not just us) but it was a great exercise for setting up my new stall lay out.

The Potters Market

Taz and Nicola Pots!
I made the plinths from leftover pieces from our kitchen we had fitted last year.
I think they worked extremely well. They pack up nice and flat and all fit onto one box, they were a lot sturdier that some of the stands I saw. The high gloss suited the work really well too.

Pot On location

Here's one of my creations that I gave to my Aunt and Uncle as a present recently. It's nice to have some photos of my work in situ as apposed to studio pictures. (secretly hoping it will act as a promotion piece as they have lots of very nice friends....!)

Art Trek

I am taking part in Art Trek 2011 with drop in workshops in Atelier in Barnstaple. The idea is that people can just drop in for 10-20 mins and make a little napkin ring... plus it's FREE!!! Takes place Friday 24th June & Saturday 25th June 11am - 3pm

North Devon Gazette Review

I'm glad my pots were in the Gazette rather than me!
