Bowls Fresh from the Kiln

February 13, 2012 Charlotte No comments

Not long to go until the arrival of my new kiln, I’m so excited! In the meantime I’ve been busy using my old kiln to fire orders and other bits and pieces. I’ll still use the old kiln for smaller items but it will be great to be able to fire some more large sculptural pieces and larger batches of work again in a bigger kiln.

Here are some new leaf bowls ~ available in the shop on my website as Rustic Maple Leaf Bowl and Rustic Botanical Leaf Dish. I love the combination of deep colours and the shiny pools of melted glass.

If you haven’t got your Mothers Day gift sorted yet, take your pick from a selection of new love heart bowls, they make perfect soap dishes and are also ideal for holding jewellery, other trinkets or tea light candles.

I hadn’t made any of my usual wavy edged bowls for a while and they all seem to be selling out, so I’ve got plenty more lined up to be fired in the new kiln. Here are a couple of new ones below. I think the close up detail would make a nice framed print!

Wavy Landscape Ceramic Bowl

Blue Waves Ceramic Dish

Hope you’ve enjoyed some of my new bowls, check back this week for some new sets of coasters and hanging decorations!

New Bowls

May 18, 2010 Charlotte 4 Comments

Here are a selection of some new bowls, I hope you like them! I’ll show you some more next week. Most of these bowls, plus many more, are available to purchase at my online shop.

If you are really keen to buy a specific item, please be sure to do so before Friday, as my online shop will be set to holiday mode this weekend, and I am unable to guarantee that any specific pieces will still be available from Monday. (I would love to say that not many pieces will still be available from Monday, because I will make loads of sales this weekend – here’s hoping!) I will be exhibiting a large selection of my work at the Althorp Park Craft & Country Show on Saturday & Sunday. Due to the one-off nature of my work, no two pieces are ever the same so the pieces you see are the only pieces like it.

‘Summer Dish’

‘Lily Pond Dish’

‘Natural Tones Soap Dish’

‘Ice Glacier Dish’ & ‘Organic Impressions Dish’

‘Earth Bowl’

‘Mushroom Bowls’

‘Organic Rippled Flower Head’

‘Frozen Lake Bowl’ – series

New personalised hoody, and goodbye for a week!

May 01, 2010 Charlotte 2 Comments

I received my new hoody in the post a couple of weeks ago but only just got round to showing it off. It was embroidered by Sew and Soaps – Check out their online shop for loads of other cool stuff, at reasonable prices too! For the clothing you can choose any colour you want, any colour & style of text, and where you want the text. I’ve been living in my new hoody around the house, but it will also be great for wearing at craft fairs and shows throughout the year.

They do polo shirts too, so I think I might get one for when I’m at summer shows, and use the hoody for winter events.

~* Features *~

Every Friday, a number of people within the Folksy community post a selection of themed works on their blogs called ‘Folksy Friday’. I haven’t got round to doing this yet, but will have a go soon. This week 2 lovely Folksy sellers have kindly featured some of my work in their themed picks. My Ceramic Leaf Buttons were chosen by Noodle Bubble in her selection of buttons here, and my Beach Cove Vessel was featured here by Card Making Princess. Thank you both!

I was excited to find out that my Oak Impressed Ceramic Dish above was selected for the ekphrastic challenge over at The RikRak Studio this week. Handmade works that are ekphrastically inspired by the colour palette of a famous piece of art – La Promenade by Monet, were selected for the challenge. The colour palette was full of different shades of green and brown, so my dish fits in perfectly. Have a look at the other works that were chosen, theres a great selection.

Remember when I told you about Craft Gawker? I had another image accepted by them yesterday, it was my Leaf Buttons, they seem to be getting around a bit! Feel free to visit my buttons on Craft Gawker here and click the heart if you like them!

This will be my last post for a while as I’m off on a well overdue holiday to Tunisia tomorrow!!! I’ve got a lot of packing to do, it’s exciting! See you soon with lots of holiday photos

Pistachio Nut Shell Results!

April 17, 2010 Charlotte 5 Comments

Do you remember the experiment I was working on about a month ago, using pistachio nut shells in clay?

Well the results are finally here – I initially made a round pot and a flat dish to try out the effects. What do you think?

The pot sold at the craft fair I was at over easter, so I was happy that I took lots of photos of it before I went. The lady who bought it said she was going to keep it in her kitchen. I explained how the textured effect had been created on the surface, by rolling pistachio nut shells into the clay, and she seemed to like it even more. She liked the idea of owning a completely handmade piece of work, and being the only person in the world with a pot like it!

I’m pleased with the results and will definitely be making more pieces using this technique and different colours.

The dish is now available in my shops via my Direct Site, Folksy, Etsy, Swanky Maison & Zibbet.
