New work online now + Seconds & Samples Sale 💎

I’ve added a fresh drop of new work online. These are pieces straight from the kiln, each work is a one-off.

Alongside this, I’ve also opened up a seconds & sample sale. These are pieces that didn’t quite meet my usual standards, subtle glaze variations, small imperfections, or test works - still beautiful, functional, and full of character.
If you love the idea of owning something a little more experimental, these might hit the spot.

Hope you find something you love.

New drop of work going online oh so soon.
I’ve been pondering sunsets, Angophora bark and all the bush textures I see on my walks.

Coinciding with this, I’ll be having a Second’s & Sample Sale. Lots of imperfect, not quite what I was imaging and experimental work. Some pieces that have been sitting on my shelves for too long. I’ll have vases, objects and wall pieces.
If you would like first dibs, sign up to my newsletter, link is in my bio.

The last month captured.

I hope everyone’s start to the New Year has been spent with those you love and lots of rest.

I’m welcoming the New Year with a rare offering.
For a short time, I’m taking 20% off store-wide.
As a way of clearing space in the studio and making room for what’s next. I don’t often do sales, so if you’ve had your eye on a piece, this is a gentle moment to bring it home.

Use code HNY26 at checkout.

Flat rate shipping $15

Thank you, as always, for supporting handmade work and this small studio by the sea.

I love mango’s and they were the best props to showcase these big beautiful bowls that I got out of my kiln yesterday.
This is my last firing of the year and I’m so chuffed with it.
I’ve done my last online release and there’s some crackers available for gifting and for your festive table.

🎁I know it’s getting to the spikey end of Xmas & getting gifts where they need to go, so I’m offering a FREE upgrade to Xpress Shipping until 21st December.
