Hi Ju, Me again, l've got some more techno now. Wow! This stuff is really doing my head in.

So now we have Rita and pot, not one of mine, but one of Helen's lovely creations on-site. Then we have Hut, this is the outside of my large hut, in which l am meant to work. O.K. And at last we have door, this is a wooden doorway on the external walls of the priory, quite evocative.

Page from Rita's sketchbook showing designs for a fontl have also included two pages from my sketch book, these are only early stage stuff and l am easy to their uses or not. Tim keeps telling me we should go really big, if l can't get a kiln big enough we may be able to fire on-site by building a kiln around the piece. Subject to permission of course. Tim also suggested using other materials, but my experiences with other waterproof materials are limited, but not impossible. Anyway, enough for now, l'll leave you with your thoughts, be in touch back on-site on Sunday.

Rita
