About
Bianca Message
I am the owner of Moss Cottage Studio and Gallery, where I exhibit work from multiple artists as well as my own creations. We are open year round by appointment.Twenty years ago my mother gave me her pottery wheel and taught me how to turn a lump of clay into something useful and fun. It was a treasured experience.
Time was scarce as I was working, working, working. I created in short moments between deadlines.
A few years ago I took a sculpting course from Melanie Furtado—my life has never been the same since. I am now retired from my business and simply enjoying learning how to sculpt. A creative life highlight has been sculpting my mother’s portrait with her mentoring me as I worked.
After surviving breast cancer I see with fresh eyes that life is beautiful and full of wonder, and so, I can’t help but write about it and the marvellous people who have affected my journey. I have at least a dozen books I am “working on” writing, but three most seriously. With my husband, I have recently published the second edition of "Freedom Walk: Walking Across England Following Hadrian's Wall Path” and it is now available through Amazon. Hoping you will check it out.
