The Velvet Underglaze & Mella

The jumping fish are out and about! It’s been a great day meeting people and talking about HARVEST again - it’s been a while since I’ve had these conversations and it’s always very moving for me that people respond with such emotion to the piece. An invigorating injection of energy and encouragement just when I needed it to spur me on with current new work - so thank you @art.and.york #Art&York #ceramicinstallation #smokefiredceramics #smokefire #amakerslife #keeponkeepingon #endurance #artchangeseverything https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaiyofAy63/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ifqsj03j7vg8

Just made a visit to my show HARVEST currently on at the totally brilliant @scotfishmuseum until 30 September 2018 ... (fish t-shirts non compulsory). This is a fab museum with incredibly important and moving stories to be told about the sea and the people that live by it -past, present and future. So much to take in - I need a free week to explore #lovefife #endplasticpollution #artchangeseverything #anstruther #mellashaw #thatsmyboy

Another shot of HARVEST installed @scotfishmuseum with thanks to many, many people including @creativescots @craftscotland for helping me to tour this project and get it seen by more people. If anyone knows of a venue that might suit let me know! #anthropcene #seaofplastic #endplasticpollution #mellashaw #bluedotopencall @bluedotgeneration

Beside the sea.

Hottest day of the year (Thursday 28 June, 2018). Wonderful day. A day to be beside the sea in Fife.

Scottish Fisheries Museum, Anstruther. Feel at home already.

This is the specific colour combo that Stockholm is for me - that bright blue sky, that particular shade of orange building and the freshest of spring green. #lovestockholm

Drinking beer with friends last night in their central Stockholm allotment in the middle of a forrest right in the city. Distant Jazz and birdsong. #allotmentlove #secretstockholm #perfectevening #newfriends #lovethisplace #toocute #isthisplaceforreal

Hej Konstfack! Lovely to be back for a couple of days in sunny Stockholm - teaching this time! So impressed by the MA students' work today. Tutorials are over for the day so I'm now in search of a nice cold beer #sunnystockholm #timeoff
