Preparing for Cambridge Contemporary Art. New Work in Progress.

The studio was busy as I worked towards an exhibition at Cambridge Contemporary Art, where I showed new work for the first time. I was really excited to be exhibiting with the gallery, particularly as it is somewhere I have admired for a long time.

I also tidied the tenses while I was there. The earlier version said “as I work towards” and then “I showed”, which read oddly. The second paragraph is fine as it is. In the third paragraph, I’d change “For now, the focus was on” to “For a while, the focus was on” and “There were already a few casualties” to “There were a few casualties”. Here is the full third paragraph:

For a while, the focus was on getting everything through the kiln safely, which, as always with ceramics, is never entirely predictable. There were a few casualties along the way, a crack here, a piece lost there, the usual reminders that clay still has the final word!
