Life Is Sweet
From 18th July
The Harley Gallery
Welbeck
Nr Worksop
Nottinghamshire

I have just sent a collection down to the Harley Gallery on the Wellbeck Estate in Worksop, Nottinghamshire to compliment the work of their artist in residence, Jane Wildgoose. Jane has created an installation of sugar flowers that explore the complicated 18th century conventions for serving dessert. Inspired by the 155-piece dessert service commissioned by Margaret Duchess of Portland, and a set of Chinese watercolours from the Collection that depict porcelain production, Jane reveals the curious story of how the discovery of the secret of porcelain manufacture in the West led to replacement of the intricate sugarwork on the dessert table by fine chinaware.

Bite Me!

So tomorrow is D-Day, I have to deliver all my new work to the ladies at CraftScotland who will be taking it down to the Saatchi Gallery for Collect 2010. It's been quite a rush over the past few days, mostly because I came across some great 1950's calander girl pinups online and had to remake most of the pieces I had already made to incorporate these buxsome beauties! But I managed to squeeze in a quick photo session today to document the new work before it goes off on it's journey down south.
'Bite Me' Platter, 45cm x 30cm, £550

I Don't Give a Frock!

A handful of new works from the new range currently under development. Still a few creases to iron out but the pressure's on now with both Collect and Flourishing Fantasies only a couple of weeks away!

Through its presentation of work from the best international applied artists, COLLECT has become a prestigious event in the international cultural calendar gaining the respect and support of many private collectors, museum curators and galleries.
