2017 has started very well at Barrington Pottery

The Christmas break was well earned this year.

We took time out to rest and enjoyed going for walks 

in and  around the  village.

in  the  New Year we were offered the chance to stay at a friends 

house in Cornwall.

Which gave us chance to go exploring.

including a little visit to Wenford Bridge, I had never been here before 

and it would appear that it's days are numbered!

So we came back to the workshop refreshed and ready for action.

While in Cornwall I had secured an order for 200

pots for a restaurant in Cologne.

which I set about making on my first day back 

it was a great way to start the year.

it helps to build up your confidence for larger pieces 

its been relatively mild and the sunlight in the showroom 

has been a joy.

Walking to  work has been a pleasure 

the order progressed nicely .

at the start of the year we planned out the shows wanted to attend 

and applied for them .

We are pleased to say we were accepted by all of them .

the order came out okay and we shipped 6 boxes 

overnight .

we are still making time to spend with our friends, we have lost a few 

recently that were way too young to go and it's made 

us thankful .

with that very much in mind I finally sorted out Marion's

Birthday present !

and here is my Granddaughter Lily 

looks like she's going to be trouble !!
