On Sunday we braved the cold and went to the Barbican OpenFest, an open house weekend which meant the usually empty Barbian was packed to the rafters. We were going to a pottery exhibition and sale.
As my second class comes to an end, I’m searching for an open studio where I can practise throwing before committing to another class. Turning Earth has two studios but due to the popularity of pottery among the middle-aged, there’s a six month waiting list!
I enjoyed seeing the pottery and was inspired by some of the glazing as well as realising that wonky pots are fine if they’re displayed to look intentional.
I put my name down on the waiting list and will see if anything comes up.
