HOLT is thrilled to work with Royal Borough of Greenwich, @c20society.bsky.social, Dr Dawn Pereria and Brooklands Primary School to save this rare William Mitchell mural – One of three public artworks by Mitchell that HOLT will be restoring in his centenary year.

I mention William Mitchell in the London Clay feature in The Wire ...it's good to see that instead of removal of his work which had suffered damage and wear over the years, two large pieces on a Lewisham estate have now been fully restored. Go visit!

Black sign with yellow writing saying The Cat Show with a cat drawn underneath.
Photo taken of the private view of The Cat Show at The Bakery Gallery from outside in the rain.
My two entries, so-called 'slab cats' as they are handbuilt from a clay slab and dried in a crouching cat position.
Recommend The Cat Show at the artist-ran Bakery Gallery near Angel. It's only on for a week so don't miss it!

London Clay are in the new issue of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social - if I haven't bored you enough in real life about ceramics, dystopian cities and William Mitchell, then maybe go find a copy at your local print media outlet of choice. Shout out to Leah for the interview and The Wire for asking us!

Screen grab of the Staff Picks from the Sorry State Newsletter including the London Clay LP at the top left corner.
"London Clay tiptoes along the line between hooky UK post-punk/DIY and super experimental UK post-punk/DIY, with just the right mixture of each for my tastes - I might make it Record of the Week sometime soon and talk about it at greater length."
www.sorrystaterecords.com/blogs/news/t...
Two minimal ceramic cats made from one clay slab each - one is orange & pink texture glaze and the other is a mixture of white mica, glossy black, white, orange, copper and silver

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster.
In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events.

A wall, covered in various framed posters and art, including a Videodrome poster.
Charity shops continue to disappoint but the second-hand bookshop in Blackheath had this original Videodrome film poster stashed at the back.

Absolute genius and supreme attention to detail about Croydon's historical geography (the Polish shop!). I love Jimmy Mac.
