The very best of muddy times, learning from the inspiring clay gurus Becky Little and Caroline Nicolay. Learning clay construction techniques, plastering, infill, polishing and making mineral pigments..so much rich wisdom. Alongside a group of wonderful creative folk; builders, anthropologists, artists, architects, designers all generous and inquisitive minds. Thank you for a slice of magic and sharing so much knowledge and a whole lot of inspiration to get my hands on and in the Earth! What a treat! And thank you @qestcraft for supporting me to go and @milzy04 for some of the amazing photos.

Natural pigment sourcing and paint making with @pariogallico@becky.rebearth
A real eye opener, very inspirational, grounded within art, archaeology and geology. I’m ready to explore, experiment and gather ochre to use in my own work!

Brilliant training course in Fife this weekend taught by @becky.rebearth and @pariogallico Earth building is a critical craft in the uk, which is often overlooked. It’s basically all mud but the things you can do with the stuff is crazy. I’ve learned so much about clay, burnishing, dorodango, shit. Fantastic crew of artists, architects, builders. Just the best weekend “working” ever! #earth #earthbuilding #softearth #clay #dorodango #fibre #daub #clayplaster #pigment
Lovely day in #aberdeen. Nice to see an old @esala_edinburgh piece in the permanent collection at the Aberdeen art gallery. Still looking as fresh as it did back in the day @louisa_butler@jamierkinghorn
Lovely day in Orkney today. Visited @becky.rebearth exhibition Earthbound Orkney. Blue clay from Yesnaby was pretty cool. I also trimmed a tree. Fitted a kickboard and finished creosoteing the shed. #orkney
There are 186 dots in a standard box of dominoes. That’s the sort of useless information you will only learn from working with @hopeandsocial and @ben.denison #domino #dominoes #dominorally #hopeandsocial
