AWARD AND FRESH WINNERS

THROWN APPLE BAKER • What on earth is an apple baker, you may well ask? Well, it is an ingenious bowl with a spike at its centre, which heats up to bake the apple from the inside and reduces the cooking time. Clever, don’t you think?

LINDA BLOOMFIELD

BLOCK WALL SCULPTURE • This simple project gives great scope to create individual, stylish artworks that would make wonderful presents for your art-loving friends and family at Christmas. Made in different sizes and depths, the blocks look great when finished in a particular palette of colours, but would work equally well in just one shade

HYACINTH VASE • Find the perfect antidote to winter blues by bringing a little colour and scent into your home. Fill the vase with water, sit your bulb in the neck and watch it grow. These little vases look lovely in groups, each with a different colour hyacinth growing in them but, alternatively, they make great vases and are a lovely Christmas present

POLAR BEAR SCULPTURE PART 1 • This sculptural figure of a polar bear forms the first part of a twopart project completed in the next issue. It is a narrative work based on the artist Kay Neilson’s story 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon', which tells of a maiden’s journey on the back of a bear. However, if you don't want to complete the project, the bear works perfectly well as a standalone piece

ORNATE COUNTRY-STYLE CANDLE HOLDER • Make this lovely candlestick to sit at the centre of the table for Christmas dining, and be sure to wow your friends and family

Doug’s DIARY

DEADLINES AND DECORATIONS • With a tight deadline looming, it was time to see what I could do with a lump of porcelain, textured wallpaper, and a set of cookie cutters
