Studio photo including mixed media artworks using canvas, paint, wool, ceramics.
Did not get picked to present my own exhibition at a local gallery in Blackheath, I guess the world just isn't ready for me yet! Here are a few of the pieces that would have been on show...

Agree, especially regarding fiction, hardback books are cumbersome and it annoys me having to wait for the paperback edition to be released (I will forget the book existed in the first place!)
Richard Jefferies’ After London (1885) is one of the most important early examples of “post-apocalyptic fiction”. The story tells of how London becomes a swampland after an unspecified natural disaster delivers England over to the mercy of nature: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...

I think the Barbican Kitchen is open on Sunday, you can get veggie pizza there. Or try Whitecross Street, I seem to remember that there is a Korean BBQ place that does vegan/veggie food also.

There are quite a few cats who visit the art studio but this absolute floof is new and very much welcome.
Good to know! Could do with a pizza after the charity shop / book shop / record shop crawl!

London Clay feature in the March issue of The Wire discussing the debut album Private View, NLAnnuities, Harold Turgis and Suzie Marlowe. In the shops from 5th Feb!
Oh wow, they are very cool!
Yes! I am incredibly excited for you!
HOLT is thrilled to work with Royal Borough of Greenwich, @c20society.bsky.social, Dr Dawn Pereria and Brooklands Primary School to save this rare William Mitchell mural – One of three public artworks by Mitchell that HOLT will be restoring in his centenary year.

I mention William Mitchell in the London Clay feature in The Wire ...it's good to see that instead of removal of his work which had suffered damage and wear over the years, two large pieces on a Lewisham estate have now been fully restored. Go visit!

My two entries, so-called 'slab cats' as they are handbuilt from a clay slab and dried in a crouching cat position.
Recommend The Cat Show at the artist-ran Bakery Gallery near Angel. It's only on for a week so don't miss it!

London Clay are in the new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social - if I haven't bored you enough in real life about ceramics, dystopian cities and William Mitchell, then maybe go find a copy at your local print media outlet of choice. Shout out to Leah for the interview and The Wire for asking us!
We're in the next issue of The Wire! Out on Thursday!
Screen grab of the Staff Picks from the Sorry State Newsletter including the London Clay LP at the top left corner.
"London Clay tiptoes along the line between hooky UK post-punk/DIY and super experimental UK post-punk/DIY, with just the right mixture of each for my tastes - I might make it Record of the Week sometime soon and talk about it at greater length."

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster.
In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events.
