I’m a ceramic sculptor, mainly working on images of women and organic abstract forms. In a former life I was Professor Hooper-Greenhill in Museum Studies at Leicester University.

Here are some of my new Fairway Figures. Inspired by bollard forms but I didn’t think that helped with naming. Robust, calm, timeless with overlapping colours and descriptive drawing on the surface. Just about to exhibit them.

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.
Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Here are two of my new figures waiting for firing. They need to be really dry and there is a third one recently completed that will slow things up for more than a week. Still, looking forward to seeing the colour change.

Some rare good news re UK immigration policy that I thought worth sharing
100s of refugee families who were accepted for UK resettlement but had been waiting years for relocation have finally arrived in Britain in the last yr, as the new govt has been quietly prioritising their cases

Typically sensible advice from @jdportes.bsky.social to Rachel Reeves.
For now we need stability and a return to growth. But this must be a platform for radical changes to the way we run the economy if we're going to address the global threats bearing down us.

Watching @edconway.bsky.social dissect the latest immigration figures and it’s remarkable what a tiny percentage of the number comes from people on small boat crossings
Completely disproportionate to the attention given to this by the media and many politicians
