I had to miss a school sports day, but the family understood and were all my greatest support.“As potters we all had different skills, so I just tried to do my best.“My husband was the biggest support ever and he is so proud and honoured that I won.“A lot of love from the family, a lot of help from friends, and a good helping community spirit in the village really helped make it easier for me.”.Rosa said she now stored her trophy in her pottery room at home.She added: “We live in a small village and everyone has been so incredibly supportive.“At school, the children run up to me and tell me they have seen me on TV!“I kept the trophy hidden in the bedroom but now I can keep it as a pride of place in my pottery room.“It will encourage me to continue the good work I have learned, and to keep trying to achieve more.”,Coronavirus Northern Ireland: ‘This is a wake-up call’ – Stormont leaders sound alarm bells as Covid-19 restrictions come into force across NI,Q&A: Everything you need to know about latest coronavirus restrictions in Northern Ireland,Stephen Nolan to report online abuse over his condemnation of GAA scenes to police,House hunting: Derry lodge built 280 years ago on market for £550,000,Disgraced NI accountant Gareth Booth jailed for £600k fraud,The Belfast Telegraph is a member of IPSO and subscribes to its Editors' Code of Practice.

During the filming there were never any bad words between us. No more slapdash! I loved every minute of it! I’m planning to use my drawing skills more in my ceramics and am also playing with the idea of using my illustration skills for a book.

We complement each other really well and always had fun together.The memory I’ll treasure from the show is the time with the other potters and joy of doing what I love. And there's a big problem in the pottery world at the moment.You see, going to art fairs, workshops, and demos are all amazing.You meet new people, learn new techniques, and most of all, have fun with old and new friends.But traditional ceramics conferences across the world are very restrictive in terms of who can join in and consume the information.And even if you can take time off work, find a babysitter, book a hotel, book a flight or a train, drive for hours, pay for meals out...On top of that, ceramics conferences normally,This also excludes a ton of people who want.and so even more potters miss out on learning something new and being inspired by something different.It comes as no surprise that there are some.Conferences are significant contributors to CO2 emissions, pollution, and wasted food and water.Well, imagine if you could attend a ceramics conference without traveling?What if you could have the world's top ceramic artists come to you, instead of you going to them?What if we could cut out the venues, the travel, the expense?What if you could join in the discussions and workshops and share your own experiences?We believe that real learning comes from joining in and taking part.We believe that you can learn something new from anyone, and your own experience and your own personal insight will benefit others if you have the possibility to share.We believe there should be no secrets in ceramics.We have all the same features and energy of real-life events, but online.You get to see amazing potters host inspiring talks/demonstrations...You get to have the fun and excitement of being surrounded by other like-minded potters.And, instead of charging a super expensive entry fee to cover the venue, the food, the staff, etc... We only charge you a small entry fee to help cover the costs of running our online software.We want as many people as possible, including the general public, to be able to see, and be inspired by, these great demo's and talks (which are normally held behind closed doors).We believe that this is the future of ceramics conferences.So far, we have helped just under 100k people from around the world view ceramic-based workshops from potters they wouldn't normally be able to.And we've paid out over $15,000 to our speakers.Buy your Ticket to The Ceramics Congress Now!Wanna watch 72 hours Pottery Workshops...Welcome to The Original Online Pottery Conference:Inside The Ceramics Congress you'll find:The average conference attendee produces over 170 kilograms (375 lbs) of,A three-day conference for 1,000 people creates on average 5,670 kilograms (12,500 lbs) of.
