Welcome to the page of Holly the Potter.
Hi there, nice to have your input.
I am a student potter, doing a degree in Ceramics and Glass at Bucks Chiltern University College. I like making pots, it's creative, and the clay is all lovely and squishy!
What I'm up to:
From now until Easter I am in the USA on an exchange trip, at Kutztown University in Philly. It's a cool place, but a bit like walking into Buffy world, or into American Pie. All big green spaces, and buildings that look like town halls, and students who study a lot. Weird.
I'm a long way from home all by myself. I'm missing my boyfriend a lot. 6 weeks is a long time (it seems). Hope he doesn't go off me while I'm away.....
Stuff I'm into:
I am a brown belt (2nd kyu) in Jujitsu, and I also do judo. I find these close contact sports a great way of meeting people, and really getting to know them well. It's hard to be impersonal when you are trying to pin someone to the floor! I train at Park Lodge JJK which has several clubs in South East Essex.
Recently I have been doing some specialist research for my ceramics. I have been making pots with spikes on, or with silver piercings in. the research is at some great London clubs - strictly adult only. Take a look at this lovely article about Torture Garden. (Or you could look at TG's own website, but you'll have to search for that yourself, cos I''m not allowed to put the link in here....)
somewhere I might be:
If you're looking for me, try Mina's Dungeon!
