I love making bespoke custom orders, especially when there is a story behind them. I often get asked to make a piece for a loved one, for certain special occasions or memories. These ceramic poppy vases were originally made as a custom request for a lady who wanted them to be displayed on her husbands […]
I delivered a new collection of coastal inspired pieces to The Hayrack Gallery at The Old Dairy Farm Craft Centre in Upper Stowe yesterday. Some of the hanging wall panels aren’t up yet, but I’m really happy with the display so far. Robert & Kim, the gallery owners, said: “We particularly like the houses which […]
One of my latest commissions fresh from the kiln involved a beach scene from where the customer grew up and spent a lot of their childhood. I always enjoy working on special pieces that have a nice story behind them. This was the original image supplied by the customer below, of Porthmeor Beach. in St […]
A customer asked me to make some hearts bunting for her little girls bedroom last week. What a lovely idea, her daughter is only 3, the youngest person to own some of my ceramics I think! I really enjoyed making this. The completed hearts were threaded onto pink ribbon – I’d been waiting to use […]
If you ‘like’ Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics on facebook, you might have seen details of my latest personalised commission earlier this week. I was asked to make a set of coasters and magnets for some of the performers in a local theatre show, to give as keep sake gifts. I thought it was a nice idea. […]

The overall finish is definitely organic and natural. I love the subtle effects of the surface decoration, it reminds […]
Two of my latest orders have been for plaques with customised engraved wording. I enjoy making these, especially knowing that the wording means something special to someone else. This plaque below was made as a wedding gift. I hope the bride & groom like it. Personalised name plaques would also make great anniversary or christening […]
Although the sun hasn’t been shining as much, it has still been very hot and humid this week. I prefer making things from my workshop in the evening when it’s a bit cooler. I’m hoping the sun has his hat on again ready for the weekend, I’m going to a friends BBQ tomorrow and some […]
When I got back from my holiday I had lots of e-mails waiting for me. One of them was from someone asking if I could make a selection of ceramic pendants that they could use for their jewellery. The lady wanted a range of butterflies, hearts and tear drop shapes. She also specified which pendants […]

Here are two latest commission pieces that are now settled in their new homes.
