This cutie is a story in itself, I messed up the firing programme for the glaze firing and ended up with what can only be described as boils. ‘We are not done until I say we are done’ I told this sad pot. More glaze, go back and try again. Now I have a leopard print glaze and I need to figure out how to do it again 😊 The moral of this tale; have fun with your failures🏆

Happy weekend. I am spending the day packing orders with headphones on lost in a new audiobook, what about you?

And here’s some more mugs that I made. The design is an abstract sunset, and something that I have painted in various forms for what feels like years now but it is actually only five. I saw a rug in an interiors magazine years and years ago that looked like a horizon in blue and terracotta and I just really loved it and I added a sun and that is how it came to be a mug, that is how ideas happen. I don’t remember what magazine it was in, or whose house, or even what year - hell, I have trouble remembering why I came downstairs. Is it plagiarism? Or is it just a joyful celebration of little snippets of beauty that cross your path?

I think people create two ways - from inside out, where art is a way to process an internal state, or from outside in, when art is like an antenna, a way to make sense of the world. Those of us who are neurodiverse - at least me, it is the latter. If you have a creative practice, I’d love to hear how you landed on your best ideas.

Hi friends, my shop is open! I have cups, vases and bits, and if you have been eyeing for a lil treat for yourself or someone you love, jump in - it might be a good while until the next drop.

Although shop update days are stressful, I have missed this particular stress - the warm fuzzy feeling seeing my pots being claimed by people all over the world, and sending them to their new homes. Made by hand, from start to finish. Not AI.

Thanks folks, if you find something you like and it ends up in your home, post it in your stories, I literally live for it ❤️

Hi friends! I am going to open my online shop this Thursday, 12th of March at 7pm, with a fresh batch of mugs for you. If you are on my mailing list I’ll drop you a little note too.

I am genuinely in awe of myself that I have managed to make work this winter at all, juggling a job, a family, teenagers and some massive life changes. But clay is always where I come back to and I can’t wait to send some new pots your way.

See you Thursday ❤️

A jug I made when I was testing a new clay, just a simple cylinder with a slab lip and handle. This is made from Sibelco high fire terracotta, absolute banger of clay body if you don’t mind having your hands exfoliated within an inch of their lives. Covered in slip made from white porcelain scraps nothing else. Secretly my favourite.

I fired a kilnful of mugs over the weekend, mostly old faves and a half a dozen one off designs where I get let loose with colours and shapes. Super happy with the results!

I also prototyped some new bowls of various sizes. I really want to produce a set of dinnerware for everyday dining, the kind of bowls that we use at home - the keywords are volume (teenagers…) and versatility, and also they have to withstand knocks in the dishwasher and being licked clean on the floor by massive dogs (don’t judge me). I got some lovely ones that now are being put through their paces in my kitchen. My challenge is to find a way to add a bit of secret sauce to the designs without making them 1. Unaffordable and 2. so freaking laborious to produce that I’ll only be able to release like 6 - and that is barely a dinner party. Anyway, goals.

The big pots in the background are from my hand building adventures. Yet to be fired but they’ll make an appearance at some point…

Despite us good folk here in Devon being literally waterboarded by Mother Nature (I am ready to talk! Please stop 🌧️) the winter light in my little studio is gorgeous rn. These photos are straight up iPhone snaps, no editing at all.

Only 5 weeks or so to the spring equinox. Hang in there.

I managed to get some glazing done today (please clap, thank you), before I had to head out to Torquay for my Sunday with my eldest boy Sami. He lives with carers in a supported home, and needs a strict routine, so time with me is scheduled and planned. We drove up to Haldon Forest Park because when we left the sun was shining and we both needed a run, we ended up getting drenched but Sami was so happy to be out on the trail, not least because there was the prospect of chips in the cafe at the end. Sami loves chips.

I find glazing so satisfying: my work always involves so much faff that to get to that point feels like a real win. Like the final 500m of a 10k run. Achieving that straight glaze line - tape and wax, children, tape and wax - calms my nervous system almost as well as a run in the woods.

Cooking a kilnful of mugs this week. The world may be going to hell in a handcart but we keep running, and glazing.

Here recycling old photos, we are in an unusual cold snap here in southwest UK (well it got down to -3C and everyone is complaining) My studio doesn’t have any heating and even if I wear everything I own it takes the concept of suffering for your art to a level where I don’t want to be at my age. I am in an old, Grade II listed building on our high street that used to be a cattle shed back in 18th century, then a butcher then a cobbler, until it became a succession of gift shops when all the old trades moved to the local supermarket. It is drafty and cold without a single straight wall but that is why I love it. Old buildings carry stories in their bones.

The light in springtime in England is something really special, these are from last year. I am about to glaze a kiln load of mugs, vaguely thinking about getting back on the ol’ online shop horse on the spring equinox. Maybe.

Now I want all the Scandis and Canadians pipe up and laugh at our pathetic -3C. What’s the coldest you have ever been in? For me it was winter 1987, -43C, I was in year 9 and we still went to school as normal, we were allowed to stay indoors at break time though. Good times 🇫🇮
