How we started - we will let Bea tell her story. Having tried local classes but not able to settle due to health issues, I purchased clay locally, and powdered slip in shades of pale pink and coral, and goddesses kept coming, hands supporting distended bellies and with boobies and a hair bun ... and then?  I needed some pots to hold my paintbrushes and pottery tools so a series of quirky coil pots were built, fired once and immediately put to good use. No glazes and second firings for me! There's a sense of urgency now but I can't work out what or where it's coming from ...So? Next to shape? A pinch pot was started ... and immediately squished, my hands had other ideas ... a tube of clay ... an other-worldly head ... a body shaped and standing ... the head, turn it over and eyes and mouth and "Oh! Hello! Welcome to our World", and here was a character, it had taken on a persona ... and it was singing. How absolutely wonderful. And that was just the beginning ... This sense of urgency persists, and whenever I hold the clay, how amazing, wave after wave of them, they just keep on being born into form ... for you!
