Ok, so I’ve had some great expert help with my CLAE page so I am going to do a bit of rebranding of my page, Instagram (and maybe even my logo) so that there is no dot in between the CL and AE - please bear with me if you follow me on these in case I lose anything 🤪🙏
I am now know as CLAE Ceramics (formerly known as CL.AE)

These will hopefully be making an appearance in the studio before Christmas along with some Xmas trees & decorations! - if I can find the time to put the kiln on! Then onto some of my commission work which I just haven’t had time to start yet 🫣
Currently in the midst of my orchid illustration

Autumn is my favourite season 🍂 🎃 So I’ve placed it beside our Pumpkin Spice candle 🧡

And that’s it over… open studio week is closed but what a week it’s been!! I had 115 people visit the studio, sold 52 items 😲 and have commissions for pottery and paintings! I have had such a fun time (even with my twisted knee!), chatted with everyone, had gin on the deck, tea on the bench, lunch brought round when I was stuck (thanks for my cheesy chips & curry sauce!!) so I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who popped in past - and hopefully see you all next time! For now … I need a holiday!! 🤣

Well one more (half) day of open studios left - tomorrow (Friday) I’ll be open until 12 noon and that’s me done until my last event of the year, Poolewe Market on 28th October. Hope to see you tomorrow! X

What a great week I’ve had so far (not over yet!) I’ve had wonderful visitors from friends, locals, and folk from all over the world and I have spent hours chatting (nothing new there though 🤣)

Today should be my last day open for the Open Studios but I’m going to stay open for tomorrow and maybe Friday morning.🥳

Unfortunately I was supposed to be going to WestFest in Aultbea to have a stall there but having fallen yesterday and now struggling to walk, I’ve decided to pull out of that 😢

Anyway I’m here in the studio again all day today until 5pm! 🤩

The photos below were sent to me by one of my lovely visitors from New Zealand who wanted a button for her project - this is what I do it for ❤️ to make people happy 😘
