Interesting to hear the story of Carmel Snow on @RTESunMisc today. Born in Dublin in 1887, she was fashion editor @voguemagazine before becoming editor in chief @harpersbazaarus - a position she held from 1934-58. Thanks @DeeMcQuillan for that fascinating insight into her world.
Starting the new year with the Jan/Feb issue of @ceramicreview that includes my piece 'Discarded Influences'. Thanks to @peterting Heidi Bjorgan @lindasormin Mary Nagle, Mike Byrne & Robert Cooper
for sharing with me ways in which used & found objects have influenced your work.

.@JoeBiden is a healer, a uniter, a tested, and steady hand. A person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us, as a nation, reclaim our own sense of purpose.
So proud of all our wonderful team at Glint. Our efforts to convert waste into beautiful useful objects is not possible without them. #Sustainability is not only about saving materials/energy, it’s also about our craft skills and community. #shoplocalireland #Madelocal #shopIrish
