What a year! Firstly a huge thank you goes to everyone who has supported me this past year. It’s such a great feeling being able to enjoy doing what I love,  knowing that so many people like the work that I create.

a little catch up…

What a wonderful few weeks of sunshine we’ve been having! The weather has certainly made a change to a lot of things. It’s been lovely being able to wear summer clothes and chill out in the sunshine. I love summer 🙂 A few Saturdays ago I had a day out in Windsor where we visited […]

Uses for Ceramic Bowls

I love hearing what people say they are going to use a piece of my work for when they buy from me at a fair. I often ask if the piece is going to be a gift or for themselves, which gets further conversation flowing and works quite well for market research. I thought I […]

a peek into this week at CHC

It’s been a great week at CHC headquarters! I’ve been busy planning and organising for some exciting new things ahead. The weather has been up and down but we have still had our fair share of sunshine peering through the clouds. I’m on a mission to make 3 vases a day at the moment… so far […]

With the little pool of melted glass in the centre of the bases, it is almost like finding hidden treasure when peering inside. Each bowl is hand-formed using the pinch pot technique, and then evolved into individual unique pieces by altering […]

Fresh from the Kiln ~ Leaf Bowls

I really enjoyed making these leaf bowls, and glazing them was fun too. I’m pleased with the results, I think the areas of melted glass gives them a nice finishing touch. I absolutely love the outcome of the layered glazes and green glass in the Gloriously Green leaf bowl (top left). The striking shape of […]

Fresh from the Kiln

It was an exciting day opening the kiln last week, I couldn’t wait to see how my new glazes had turned out. As well as some new coloured glazes I also now have a new transparent top coat glaze which gives a lovely shiny look and feel. I like playing around with contrasting surfaces – […]

Bowls Fresh from the Kiln

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 […]
