Autumn term approaching and plans for the coming year

The summer has brought with it some new ideas for the future of Bushey Pottery. I've decided to relocate the studio to a new site - not far away, just a short stroll down the garden path. It started with the feeling that it would be nice to have a slightly larger space which would mean class sizes could expand a little. My neighbours had a log cabin installed at the end of their garden earlier in the year and after taking a closer look I decided that this was the sort of space that would be ideal for the pottery. So after much careful deliberation the cabin is ordered and the task of clearing the space was underway. Two large sheds have always lived at the bottom of the garden and these would have to go. So this summer has been spent reorganising and literally raising roofs. The better of the two sheds was donated to a wonderful project at Aldenham Country Park and will be used for making handicrafts by people in the community. The other I didn't feel was worth keeping so was painstakingly dismantled by myself and my lovely son. It was an exciting challenge which included me putting a nail in my foot but lots of fun solving all the various problems that tend to arise when you try and do something the diy way.
