Summer Evening at Usha's

Ushas Studio showing works inpired by a visit to Petra

Last night Usha Khosla kindly invited SAF members to her studio as part of Warwickshire Arts Week. She had a fabulous display of work on show and talked us through the process from initial inspiration to the production of pieces (a lot being of coiled clay) and the application of slips, oxides and glazes with some works being fired many times. Afterwards in the garden we were treated with wonderful samosas, nibbles and drinks. We discussed the benefits, problems and development of Art trails of which Usha has many years experience giving us food for thought on our up coming Trail in September.

Usha's studio is open until Wednesday next week and is well worth a visit - the little jugs she makes specifically for the trail are delightful and from £7.50 unbelievable value. Go and buy one! Jackie Mackay
