I made this tile in Nantes France where my son Bevis and his partner Charlie have a studio. He set me up with a tile, sitting in the sun and I made the picture of the earth and sky scratching through the dark slip. He fired it and put a clear glaze on it. I was pleased with the result so....
....in my weekly sculpture classes at the Mary Ward Centre in London with Paul Badger as my tutor, I started to make tiles. I had been an illustrator but the onset of primary progressive multiple sclerosis meant that I had lost fine control of my right hand, had increased difficulty with walking, and I took to using a wheelchair. Paul Badger was very accommodating in making space in the studio and providing helpers for me. I thought that working with clay and clay tools might suit me, so I signed up for the course
