Giveaway – win a vase & accessories!

March 02, 2011   Charlotte   44 Comments

I’m feeling very positive and happy this week. We got the keys to our new house yesterday, took a few car loads of stuff last night, will take a few more later today, and then the rest of the stuff will be moved with a van we are hiring tomorrow. So we should be fully moved in by Friday! I’m looking forward to setting up my new workshop and starting on some new ideas that are patiently waiting in my head at the moment!

To celebrate things going well I’ve decided to host another giveaway… The prize is one of my handmade natural pentagon vases, and a selection of magnets & brooches.

Here are a few things you can do to enter, the more you can do the more of a chance you have of winning :)

  • Become a follower of my blog if you’re not already.

  • Visit my website and leave a comment on this post letting me know which of my products is your favourite and why.


The giveaway will be open until 31st March, when I will pick a winner at 8.00pm.

I’m featured at The Creative Place!

April 01, 2010   Charlotte   8 Comments


I’m pleased to have a featured interview with images of my work at The Creative Place today. Every week on a Thursday, Ashley kindly shows interviews by different artists, designers & crafts people on her inspiring blog. I’ve been a huge fan of The Creative Place for a while now. Ashley also posts some amazing tutorials, one of which inspired me to make my handmade journals a few weeks ago. To view my interview, click here to read more about me as a person, my Etsy Shop & how I promote it, my creative process, what inspires me, my goals, the challenges I sometimes face, and lots more! I really enjoyed writing the interview and the questions made me think about why I do what I do. I think it’s a good exercise to do for yourself every now and again!

I’m double pleased today because I also received these earrings in the post from a giveaway I won by Tracy of Cinnamon Jewellery. Thanks Tracy – I’ve been wearing them all day!

They came presented in an adorable little organza bag, wrapped up in colour coordinated tissue paper with a cute sticker. It’s nice to see how other people package and present their items, I think it makes all the difference.

Giveaway Competition – Win a handmade plaque!

March 07, 2010   Charlotte   32 Comments

I can’t believe its been a year since I started my blog. I remember writing my first post, unsure of what to write about and how my blog would develop. Look at it now – you haven’t been able to shut me up! I’ve really enjoyed looking back on some old posts, its been a great way to document what I’ve done, what I plan to do, my experiences, inspiration, and I’ve also met a lot of interesting people.

Thank you to everyone who follows my blog (I now have 200 of you!). Also thanks to anyone who has ever left comments, featured or mentioned me on your blog, and promoted some of my posts. I really appreciate you all – old or new.

To celebrate my ‘blogiversary’, and also gaining 200 followers, I have decided to run a giveaway!

The winners will each receive a customised handmade ceramic plaque with any engraved wording, pattern, texture, and colour of their choice. You can even choose the shape of the plaque – round, heart, rectangle, square… And the engraved wording can be absolutely anything. Please also specify which colour string you would prefer to hang the plaque up – either brown or cream.


All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me how you would like your plaque designed. There will be 2 winners! Anyone can enter, I’m happy to ship worldwide.


To be in with more of a chance to win, you can also do some or all of the following;

  • Become a follower of this blog if you’re not already
  • Mention this giveaway on your own blog
Winners will be drawn using the random number generator and announced on Wednesday 18th March, so you’ve got until then to comment, get tweeting and blogging! I will make the 2 winning plaques straight away, and they will be decorated and fired in the kiln. The plaques will be posted out to the winners in April. Good luck everyone!

Handmade Olympics

January 20, 2010   Charlotte   2 Comments
I’m taking part in the 2010 Handmade Olympics, and you can too, its fun!

It’s all being run by the Rikrak Studio, where the handmade world comes together to celebrate making handmade items. Its easy to participate – all you have to do is click on one or more of the 8 different events and nominate a designer/crafts person or their work which you think deserves to be mentioned in that category. You can even nominate yourself if you want to. There are some amazing prizes to be won if you take part. Have a read of the rules on The Rikrak Studio’s blog and start nominating!

I have been cheeky and nominated myself for the “Favourite item that inspires loveliness & wellness” (event 4), and I’m going to be even cheekier and ask you to vote for me too! If you like my work and the thought behind it, please nominate me for this category or any other that you think my work fits into. I’d be extremely grateful! You can choose from any of my work for sale on my website or a wider selection at my Flickr account. Thank you so much!

I nominated my Terra Cotta Structure. This piece was handmade in response to nature and growth. The way it was constructed reminds me of a tree trunk, growing upwards and outwards in an organic form. What I love about nature is its unpredictability – you never see two marks, patterns, shapes or forms exactly the same, and it is this particular aspect that my ceramics connects to. This Terra Cotta Structure was decorated in a generous and loving way. It would make a lovely focal piece sitting in your home or garden to admire or use to hold dried sticks.
