I’ve been going to a pottery class with my son for the past few months . It was supposed to be an activity for us to enjoy doing together but he leaves after an hour and I continue for the next hour fumbling with the clay and making clumsy pots, bowls and recently birds. I’m not a natural potter. In fact I’m becoming more inept as I go along. However, this doesn’t matter as my creations are purely subject matter for my still life paintings.
This week I made cats heads. Partly inspired by one seen on Pinterest by Karin Hagen and also inspired by cat and owl heads bought years ago from a craft fair made by Sheila Spear.
