Shorelines Video I

Spent a day on the beach and a morning in my studio with talented young film maker Will Hall of Ripplewater Productions.
He has produced a couple of lovely short films and even braved walking out to sea with the camera to take some of these amazing shots.

Art in Clay Hatfield

Lovely day at Hatfield, meeting so many talented makers.
Thanks to those who took time out of their day to talk at length about their practise, especially Jacqui Atkin, Adrian Bates, Jenny Beavan, Kate Schuricht and Tessa Wolfe-Murray.
It's worth checking out Paul Wearing's video showing how he achieves these beautiful surfaces
