Of course, our first wish for 2023 is for an end to conflict, wherever it might be, and our second wish is for a period of stability and a concerted effort to ensure that nobody here at home has to be cold in their homes.
Unfortunately, neither of those wishes is within our gift, so we will have to concentrate on those things that are more in the control of a tiny pottery studio business.
We, too, would love a year of stability; the past few years have been anything but that for us – and many of our colleagues in ceramics. It’s a nightmare to try to plan when you have no idea what your energy costs are going to be from month to month.
