CPWF studio open again!

Yesterday Kelly & Sarah, the directors of Cardiff Pottery Workshops Foundation, received confirmation from the Welsh Assembly Government that CPWF is able to remain open to all customers from all areas of South Wales including those in local lockdown areas. This is the result of being an educational facility with high quality classes alongside promoting and supporting mental health and well-being, and is deemed a ‘reasonable excuse’ under local lockdown rules.

I am so pleased for Kelly & Sarah that their business can resume.

Cardiff back in lockdown

I am mourning the inevitable – Cardiff is back in lockdown from 6pm tomorrow due to the rising number of new COVID-19 cases here. Sadly that also means that I will be unable to access the studio since it will be closing for the duration of the local lockdown. 

I restarted work in the studio on and have felt very COVID-safe there, with fantastic precautions taken under the direction of Kelly & Sarah, the studio directors. Having made some satisfying work over the past weeks, it leaves me with a huge gap again with the studio closure.

I have every intention of making work at home during the local lockdown, hoping that it will not be for too long.

Watch this space …

Back in the studio … slowly & carefully

Back in March, none of us could have anticipated how long it would be before we could come back to the studio; the Welsh Assembly Government has taken things more cautiously than Westminster so things are just starting to open. But all credit to Kelly & Sarah, the studio directors, for their hard work in preparing the studio for reopening with full Covid precaution compliance – new protocols, signage, one-way system, extra tools, rearranging work tables & wheels, hand sanitisers, online booking system – the amount of work they have completed is phenomenal. From next week members of Cardiff Pottery Workshops Foundation can book in to restart creating, seeing things that have been fired while we have been away, start making & glazing new work and settling back into our community.
