I thought it would be interesting to put together a selection of some of ceramicists whose work I love, and delve deeper into finding out […]
Last Friday I took a day out with Megan from Megan Ashwell Designs and visited the New Designers 2014 exhibition at The Business Design Centre in London. Myself and Megan both met at a local fair a couple of years ago, and it turned out we had very similar interests and passions. I now own […]
