Tin Can Craft Stall at Bus Stop Over 2009


 Set the stall up next to the van, so had plenty of fresh coffee, cold beer and a nice warm bed when needed.

My bro and eldest son oversee the stall.
This was my first ever craft stall I had ever organised. Thanks to the encouragement of my friend, we ran up to Loughborough for Bus Stop Over. Loads of interest & viewers a bit like an outdoor gallery, but not so many sales. Profits were instantly turned into VW parts!!!

VW Festival

 Slip castings in white stoneware, individually remodeled or customised, such ridiculous details as  lowering the suspension, or raking were very fun details to do!!
 The collection is developing an energy or life of its own, quite an achievement for a duplication process.

 The number is building. Some are now bisque fired others are still green ware.
 All are sprayed with both iron and manganese oxide and are also sprinkled with the stuff.
 Some of the stacked versions.
First samples are out of the kiln, fired to stoneware - 1280.
