Ceramic Pantry Jar Labels in Action

I love receiving photos of my pieces in their new homes. I have received quite a few pictures of recent ceramic label orders on their containers recently, so thought I would share some. Seeing these images has actually made me want to create my own little pantry area in our kitchen. How beautiful does this […]

Wedding Flower Preservation Ceramic Keepsakes

Following on from my last post, I wanted to share some more wedding flower pieces I have been working on recently.

Preserve your Wedding Flowers

Capturing the beauty of flowers in clay is my favourite thing to do!

The arrival of Emelia

On Valentine’s Day we spent the day a little differently this year… with the birth of our beautiful daughter Emelia. She was 3 days early so it was a nice surprise.

What is handmade? What does it mean? Something that is handmade, is an object that has been lovingly designed and created by hand, using huge amounts of patience, skill, experimentation, determination and thoughtfulness to get it just right.
