Hello!

I know it’s been a bit of radio silence, but I’m still here!
The studio has had a slight setback with some unexpected renovations, but I’ve been keeping busy getting our new home liveable and planning everything behind the scenes.

I’m now on a 4-week countdown to launch and really hoping it all comes together 🤞
There should be at least a two-week window for Father’s Day prints, so please bear with me while I get everything ready and reopen bookings 🤗

Wish me luck!

✨ Update ✨

I’ve had lots of messages asking about bookings, and at the moment my diary is fully closed while I get settled and prepare the new space. I’ll be sharing updates here as soon as I’m ready to reopen bookings.

A brand new studio will be opening in the spring, so keep your eyes peeled for updates. I can’t wait to welcome you all in again very soon.

Thank you for your continued support , Lucy 🫶

Something exciting is coming soon…… 🐧

02/12/2025

A few weeks ago, I had the joy of creating 117 gorgeous hanging decorations with the children at White Stork Nursery. This year’s design was snowmen — which means, by my quick maths, I decorated a total of 585 individual snowmen! 🙀⛄️

Thank you for inviting me back White Stork Nursery!

Hello you lovely lot! 💛

It’s been a little while… and here’s why!

We’ve moved!
Everything happened so quickly that I’ve been juggling packing, working, and trying to keep up with socials — and something had to give!

To all of you who booked early and managed to get your pottery keepsakes before I closed the diary - thank you for keeping me so wonderfully busy right up to the end.
And to those who didn’t manage to grab an appointment — I’m so sorry 😔

But this isn’t goodbye!
A brand new studio will be opening in the spring, so keep your eyes peeled for updates. I can’t wait to welcome you all in again very soon.

Here’s just a little snippet of some of my favourites ✨
Cheers to the start of the festive season — and to a much-needed rest for me! 🥂🎄🙌
