Hi there Thanks for popping in. Late blog I know. I got caught up in the moment, doing pottery, smoothing out some pinch pots I have been making in readiness for the Clarity Open Days next week. Well, and before you could say “That’ll do Donkey” – it was 10 o’clock! They need time to dry out slowly, before they get bisque fired in the kiln. Then I have to wait 2 days before the kiln can be opened, then…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Rainy Sunday, so a perfect day for crafting. Pottery this morning. Made a start on the Totem Pole. This could take a while, but hey! Who’s in a rush?? You just need a little vision and a lot of patience… Oh. And a ruler and pencil… Remember the sketch? Well, this is the base piece. That’s 6 hours so far. But who’s counting? It’s a good job I don’t have to make a living…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just want to shine a light on our SHAC, our wonderful Safe Happy and Creative group. It started on the first day of Lockdown in 2020, and it’s been going ever since. In the beginning when we didn’t know what was going on in the world, we stuck together every single day, and there were over 500 of us; nowadays there are still 200 loyal and lovely Shackers. We meet twice a week, Mondays…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’ve been busy today, setting up a little Clarity Christmas Pop-up shop for Tomorrow at 3pm on Facebook and Youtube LIVE. Spent hours faffing about, trying to make the SHAC look like Santa’s Grotto!! Grothole more like!! There’s so much stuff in this little room, I just seem to shuffle it around! I do shuffle it in a clockwise direction though, so eventually it ends up back in front of the cameras! However. Emptying…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just prepping for tomorrow’s two Facebook Live events at 3pm and 7pm. Thought I’d shine a little light on the afternoon Moment of Clarity, and the little Güd Folk.
