Big thank you to Jonathan Milton for coming and taking some photos when the studio was all clean! For those of you unable to visit I hope you can at least take a look. I am here most Saturdays, although the new series is on its way and then I am afraid the studio is not so clean.

ARCHWAY ROAD OPEN STUDIOS /
Glass Work in progress /
Here are some pictures I took of the glass works once they came out of the kiln at https://leadandlight.co.uk. Finished pieces will be 8 cm x 12 cm x 7 cm painted and fired glass , UV bonded with LED light panels.
All inspired by Mary Kingsley , the voyage of climbing Mount Cameroon and the vegetation that she found there.
Women Only- A Female History of Highgate /
Currently working on a new project organised by Alicia Pivario, inviting local artists to produce works relating to great women from Highgate. Lovely to be involved in a local project that celebrates pioneering women.
I have chosen Mary Henrietta Kingsley, an explorer who broke the boundaries of what was expected of women of her time. Contemptuous of Europe's 'civilising mission' in Africa, Mary Kingsley's (1862-1900) extraordinary journeys through tropical west Africa are a remarkable record, both of a world which has vanished and of a writer and explorer of immense bravery, wit and humanity. Paddling through mangrove swamps, fending off crocodiles, climbing Mount Cameroon, Kingsley is both admirable and funny.
I am excited to be using glass, a medium I am really familiar with and am firing my individual pieces this week. Updates to follow!
