Meet: Janice Ashworth of Wellydog Gallery How long have you been making your work and how did it all begin? I have been painting as long as I can remember. I got married young and children soon came along, so art took a bit of a back seat. Just before I turned 40 I had […]
I’m excited to be sending this selection of pieces up to Down To Earth Gallery in Shropshire today, for the Craft & Design Month exhibition in May. The focus of the exhibition is ceramics, where galleries & artists all do their own thing for Craft & Design Month across the country. If you are in […]
I was excited to receive the handmade bunting I ordered from Hollie Lollie on folksy today, and have put it up in the garden already! I wanted some happy cheery bunting to brighten up the garden for summer. It will look great for my belated birthday barbecue on Saturday! I chose the ‘sea breeze’ version […]
I thought I would share a few of the latest pieces that were fired in the kiln last week… I am in love with these new Lily Heart Coasters, they would be perfect for the table in the garden with their spring green colours. I only made one set so for now these coasters are […]
Meet: Rachel Jinks of Mog’s Togs How long have you been making your work and how did it all begin? I’ve always been fairly crafty, I get it from my Mum! I’ve tried my hand at lots of different things over the years – my drawers are full of polymer clay, embroidery floss, sewing and […]
We are so lucky to have a stretch of the canal only ten minutes walk from our house. We only discovered it yesterday while out exploring, after living here well over a month now. We knew it was here somewhere, but couldn’t find it last time we were out walking… You have to go through […]
These new bonsai bowl designs are fresh out of the kiln this week – what do you think? I was so impatient waiting for the kiln to cool on Thursday! Even when the kiln was opened, I couldn’t see them until everything else had been unloaded because they were right at the bottom. I’m very […]
Do you like my new flower pot? This photo was taken last weekend when we had just planted the flowers – they are much more in bloom now and they look stunning. I wanted to add a bit more colour to the garden so this is what we came back with from the garden centre. […]
It’s been lovely out in the workshop over the past few days, with the sun beaming in through the door and the sound of the birds singing outside, it definitely puts me in the mood to keep moving and make lots of new work! Today I’m taking a break from making while the kiln is […]
Meet: Liz Chesworth of That Fuzzy Feeling How long have you been making your work and how did it all begin? I’ve been making felt for about three years now. It started when my partner bought me a starter kit to help me pass the time whilst I was recovering from an operation – […]
This has got to be the hottest day of the year so far! We’ve had a fantastic weekend out in the sunshine. Yesterday was spent visiting the lambs, having a pic nic, playing cards on blankets at the park, and having a ‘kick around’ with a football with friends which was fun. On the way […]
These are the flowers I bought my Mum for Mother’s Day, some beautiful Iris’s. They were all in buds when I bought them but now that they have all opened they look even more stunning. My Mum has put them in one of my handmade ceramic vases that she owns, I think the iris’s really […]
