manos has just had delivery of Jenny Alméns stunning “art cushions", I’m uploading them in the online shop later this week, but I just have to show you two sneak previews.

Despite my not being danish I’ve been allowed in at online shop danishceramics and that’s where I found Jette Arendal Winther’s wonderful work - check it out, one cannot but be charmed.

manos is having a guest this weekend! Florist Batoul Yazdanian will be creating her beautiful arrangements in the shop. Here’s a peak of what she’s done with what she’s found in the surroundings and what we bought at the flower market this morning!

manos has been kitted up with a display of my “collection 0809″ and the online shop is also updated with my new work - bowls and small beakers in porcelain with a new glossy glaze.

It might sound innocent to your ears, but for me introducing a new glaze is big! I’ve tried and tested many glazes - it needs to be easy to use (mix and apply), it needs to work with my clay, with my decals and with my kiln. Apart from that it also needs to be all that I was after, namely a glaze that doesn’t pick up stains and that feels good to hold and that looks good. I think it does

This doesn’t mean I will stop using the matte glaze which I love and have used for a long time, but I think these two complement each other well. See images of the shop display here and the new work here.

Rosa mosa

I’m waiting for the rain to take a break so I can take my bike to do some shopping. It’s 10 degrees here today! I’m yearning for knitted sweaters, stockings, short skirts and scarfs in bright colours, like this. And perhaps a pair of Rosa mosa shoes?

The decal weekend at manos went great and 10 pattern makers were sitting round my workshop table creating flowery decorations mixed with motorcycles and teddy bears…
