Launching my pottery site

ADESTUDIO IS LIVE!

***

A couple weeks ago I launched adestudio.co.uk – my pottery portfolio! A selection of items were available for purchase and I have now sold almost the whole selection. I can hardly believe it, people actually liked things I made with my hands to the extent of purchasing them from me!

It’s been a really affirming experience because this art is a new medium. As you know, writing is where I feel most comfortable. But I take pride in attempting new forms of self-expression. And here we are. I’m really hoping this marks the start of something great.

I’ll let the site do the rest of the talking. Happy browsing!

My first piece in a poetry journal!

As mentioned in my previous post, this month I had a poem of my own published in a poetry journal for the first time! My end goal is to release a collection through a publisher, and this brings me one step closer as I try to establish myself in the poetic world.

My poem, As the wheel spins is available in the Nonbinary Review’s 38th issue, titled Rituals. P.s, my poem is the first in the collection!


My poem As the wheel spins depicts the ritual of pottery as an attempt at a new relationship. The subjects practise this ritual whenever they open their hearts to falling in love, much like a potter beginning a new work of art with every lump of clay they shape.
