Delighted that Sheffield Museums have acquired ‘Murmuration’ for their collection. It’s scheduled to be on display in the Graves Art Gallery next year.

Had a great weekend at Art in the Gardens with Yorkshire Artspace. Met some nice people and sold a few works. It was a sunny day too.

I have just displayed my most recent work in the two display cases in the “avenue” in the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield’s city centre. They are on display until 4 June 2023. Pop in and have a look if you are in Sheffield. Here are photos of the works.

Some pieces are for sale. Prices range from £150. You can contact me at barnesandbarnesstudio@gmail.com should you be interested in sizes, availability and prices.

I am pleased with this pot. I don’t say this very often. The lines are incised with both black and blue slip to add a bit of variation in the lines and the inside was brushed with cobalt oxide with a matte clear glaze. The vivid colour of the blue inside is only visible when you peer into it. I hope to use this colour more prominently soon.

Derbyshire Open Arts is happening on Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th May 2022.

I am exhibiting at the Holymoorside Village Hall, Holymoor Road, Holymoorside near Chesterfield, S42 7DX from 10.00am to 5.00pm each day along with other makers.

This venue has full disabled access.

I have two ranges at the moment Tanglewood and Stoneflow.

This was the first time that I had exhibited at Art in the Gardens. I was in the Northern Potters tent with seven other potters. Small items went well like the pebbles and spoons and I sold my favourite round platter. Enjoyed the weekend very much. It was a relaxed and friendly event with people happy to be outside.
