What made it really special was making it using the flowers that were from […]
Fresh from the kiln this week is this elegant white vase, personalised with the birth date and name of a little girl named Genevieve, followed by the date of her baptism.

A couple of months ago, a lady in the USA ordered fifteen of my individually handmade ceramic brooches. The brooches were to give as gifts to the nurses on the Oncology Ward looking after the lady’s husband. I absolutely love hearing how and why my work will be used. It makes what I do even […]
