All Fired Arts is a new shop opening on 9 November in Kings Heath, selling locally produced artwork and commissioned pottery.
They’ll also be letting visitors get in on the action with ‘paint your own pottery’ drop in sessions, where they’ll provide you with all you need to paint, glaze and fire you own pieces of pottery in their 2 hour workshops. Sounds like great way to spend a miserable winter afternoon!

Yet another 10th birthday to add to the pile – Jibbering, the multi-faceted music/art promoters, are heading into double figures and will be celebrating that fact at the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath on 14 November.

Details of the night (who’s playing, etc) are on Jibbering‘s website and the Hare & Hounds‘ one too.
So big congrats to them. I’ll try and grab them for an interview at some point – if you’ve got any questions for them then please throw them in the comments below.
