Lou Lothian Leintwardine

Across the nine days I will be welcoming you to my studio to view and purchase my recent work. And as with previous years, we are back with our pop up tea garden serving tea, coffee and delicious cakes & homemade sausage rolls for the duration of h Art, with seating outside in our lovely garden as well as undercover on the veranda - just in case the weather is a little wet, or just a little too sunny!

This year the 1hour Wheel Throwing Experiences will run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 10.30am - half an hour before our official opening time. The cost is £25 per person. To book a place you can either email me, or go onto my website and click on hArt.

Most of the work that I will be showing this year is inspired by the natural beauty of the land and sea I have experienced in my time living on the coast in the East Neuk of Fife in Scotland and now in Herefordshire. I unapologetically make two contrasting styles of pots. Those representing my view of the Scottish surf are full of texture, colour and glistening glazes. By contrast my pots that are rooted in Herefordshire use slips in a painterly fashion to evoke a sense of the land that is at the heart of rural life. Using throwing slip and coloured slips together with glazes applied in interesting layers, I look to capture the energy, flow and transitions in colour and texture that nature's palette offers us.
