Sometimes I just throw a pot and see what comes out, and sometimes they are just a pot, probably not useful, probably not used, just a lovely pot…. this big belly pot reminds me of a Christmas pudding…. Thrown on the potters wheel in a flecked stoneware with hand poured alabaster glaze and a little cork stopper.
Just a pot in a shape that brings me comfort and joy in this mad, crazy and right now, sad world.

Sharing the love…..stoneware wheel thrown platter.

All wrapped up and ready to go…..a lovely order from an Etsy UK customer for their new kitchen…..all of my orders are gift wrapped in my signature recycled packaging and then sent via 48 hour tracked delivery with Royal Mail 📮 from our local Uplyme Stores
And of course, no order would be complete without a little kitty cat kiln god to share some love and good luck along the way….

Just in case you missed it….on Sunday there was a rare ‘Blue Moon’, occurring on average every two or three years, its a fairly rare spectacle when we see 13 full Moons within a year. So just in case you missed it, here’s not one but two of my special ‘moon vases’. A lovely commission using one of my fave glazes to create this fabulous lunar crater glaze effect - each one is unique making these very special indeed.
These beauties are already sold, I will be making some more in the coming weeks and will put them up in the Etsy shop soon!

Cheese, cakes, canapés….what would you use this lovely stoneware platter for? Thrown on the wheel, left to dry out really slowly over a couple of weeks so that it doesn’t warp before firing in the kiln, the glaze is then hand poured before its second kiln firing. Finished off with a lovely leather strap (you can easily undo the brass securing screw if needed).
Available in my Etsy shop.
Happy days!

Playing around in the studio! So very lucky to have time to experiment and create things I like! Here’s a belly pot with a leather handle, I am really liking the leather and ceramic combination - it seems to work together so well, and the colour of the clay lends itself to the light tan leather strap. Thrown on the wheel and glazed with a white glossy glaze that sits nicely with the matt clay body.
Available in my Etsy shop - one of a kind, use it as a cutlery holder for those outdoor summer BBq’s or a vase bursting with wild flowers…..or anything you choose - use it however you want - that’s whats so great with making ceramics, it doesn’t have to conform!
Happy days!

Big, fat, round & cuddly……this lovely belly jug is fresh out of the kiln, somehow it reminds me of a childhood nursery rhyme……Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall…..well hopefully not for this chunky monkey! Thrown on my potters wheel, then the handle and spout are rolled out - just like making pastry - and then cut to shape before setting up and being attached. Once bisque fired, the jug was then glazed using a ‘hand pour’ method I am loving at the moment, to give a very organic feel - works well I think with the toasty stoneware clay…..check out this jug and several more new pieces shop later this week.
