Cat’s Paws on Porthmeor

The early surface energy that gently generates a ripple of a wave is known as ‘cat’s paws’. It does give you a sense of that gentle kneading that cat’s do when nizzling into your cosiest of woolly jumpers.

The visit to Porthmeor Beach in St Ives last year inspired this short verse. It works well with this ceramic pot - words on one side with watercolour sketch of the aspect from the beach captured in ceramics.
