Mimi Young is the new Potter of the Month. Her work will be on display in the front window throughout November.
“I am new to clay and find the medium very exciting and challenging. Being a painter, my work has always been 2 dimensional, focusing on creating an engaging surface. I’ve found that working with clay has fit in very well with my visual sensibility.
“The line of canisters I am showing has developed over the summer and features bits of rocks, branches and found objects that I have accumulated over many years. The collection of these elements is really what the focus of these pieces is about, the canisters are their canvas.
“I studied hand building with Richard Stauffacher and am so inspired by his vision and talent. Those of you who know his work will no doubt see his influence in my pieces.”
