We are loving this ❤️🔥

The public have spoken!

The most requested name was Dolly and it’s absolutely perfect!

A tribute to the late Great Dolly Parton and a nod to my mum and baby girl. Nannie, calls Austen Dolly because she was so tiny!

Our Dolly will be working a lot more than 9 to 5 in the coming months and I will always love her (as long as she behaves better than her mate Val)

Give me a 🤠 in the comments if you approve of her new name x

A road trip to Devon for Simon and Kieren yesterday! 🚐💨

They removed the old kiln which has given many decades of service and installed this stunning new purple Cromartie CFL290 Premium Front Loader at King Edward VI Community College in Totnes. 💜🔥🏺

A huge thank you to Lee and the fabulous Art Department - Ben, Hannah, Tim, Laura and Nick, who popped down to take a look at their fantastic new addition.

With the new academic year starting on Monday, here’s to many decades of firings and inspiring the ceramic stars of the future! 🌟

Thank you so much for choosing Cromartie. 🙌🏻💜

💜 A lovely final stop in Guernsey last week! 💜

Amanda and Luke’s last visit before heading back to the UK last week was to Oaty & Joey's Playbarn in Guernsey, and what a fabulous, family-friendly creative space it is! 🎨✨

A huge thank you to Hilton and the team for such a warm welcome. It was a real pleasure to visit, and we’re really looking forward to working with you more in the future. 💛

What a wonderful way to round off the trip!
