visit to Maggie Curtis

had a great day off on Monday to visit another Devon Open Studio - this time in Appledore.  Maggie Curtis makes Architectural Ceramics and lives in the best location in the village with brilliant views of the estuary.


We toured her studio and saw her workspaces and kiln room.  One of the kilns is like an enormous bathtub which she designed and had made for her - and she needs it for her huge, signature decorated ridge tiles.  She can make anything from a shoal of leaping fish, to chickens, to a horse and cart to feature on the ridge of a roof.  This is a griffin (I think!) or dragon...


You can see more of Maggie's work at http://www.maggiecurtis.co.uk/

It was a lovely visit and the sun shone, unlike today which is still stormy and overcast from yesterday.  Today I am back in Gallery @ 500ft demonstrating and talking to visitors about my work.


we have had some lovely comments in the Visitor's book and many asking to sign up for my monthly newsletter - it's nice to meet people when you work on your own and work by yourself all day :-)
