We are nearly at the end of 2009 – doesn’t time fly when you’re busy sculpting!

Fly is the appropriate word as I’ve been to the USA twice this year. First a brilliant show in Detriot and then another trip to Miami, Florida. Word is now getting out there about the "Hully Birds."

On 5th September 2009 we launched "Clement" and the "Reed Patrol" vase at the Potteries Antique Centre in Stoke-on-Trent. Clement seemed to catch everyone’s eye and Reed Patrol was excellently received (half of this small edition is gone already!).

Thank you to all my loyal and new collectors who came along to see us. A great day was had by everyone. (A special thank you to Shirley who entertained my two daughters).

"Wallace" has now been retired and little "Alfred" has come to the end of his edition.

At the beginning of next year, we will be having another show at the Potteries Antique Centre, Stoke-on-Trent where we will be launching a fantastic double bird piece called "Fatal Attraction". We will also have some plaques and ginger jars available. We really hope that you can come along and see us.

The photographs show how the work was displayed at the show.

I was asked to do a talk about my work. It took a lot of courage but I got through it (and enjoyed it!). The show was over two days during which time I met some interesting people and had a lot of fun.

On 5th September 2009, we held another show at Potteries Antique Centre, Stoke-on-Trent, where we launched CLEMENT and REED PATROL. Fantastic Show – great people. What more can I say!
