Hello,
Just wanted to say that it was so lovely to finally meet you last night. I think I spotted your ceramics somewhere in blogland a few years ago - and instantly recognised something beautiful and emotional in your pieces.
It sounds like you really do have a magical spot up there, would love to visit your studio one day with my little ones.
See you at GOMA!

Fliss makes beautiful work, doesn't she? I am fortunate, very fortunate, to have one of her little penguin loves. He is a great conversationalist.
Enjoy the race toward the end of the year, g
