Technical note: Seamus O’Connell would welcome advice on how to maintain this website. He wants to make two changes: remove the empty area down the right-hand side so that the body of the page goes right across the window, and remove the email posts and blog archive from the bottom of a page and have all the posts shown in a single page which can be accessed from a new menu item. This is a WordPress website on a Personal Plan using the Twenty Ten theme.
Michael O'Connell - textile artist 
This is the first time I have used a blog so a learning curve for me. I will let Paul Jackson (established Cornish potter) know about it. He used to live near Michael in Perry Green and has a couple of his works. Although he knew my younger siblings well, I was it is only recently that we learnt we had a common friend in Michael!
