In The Studio . . .

I love this time of year in the studio… The halogen heater is on full whack, set to rotate mode to radiate the warmth around the room. It also helps with the drying process of the clay which is always a little slower than usual in autumn. I have the radio on, bopping away to […]

In The Studio

Is it too early to mention the ‘C’ word? I’ve been preparing a few new Christmas designs ready for festive fairs later in the year, and am particularly pleased with one particular prototype of a ceramic Christmas house. A customer who has purchased a few of my ceramic houses asked if I will be making […]

This week . . .

Last Sunday I was in Caldecott Park in Rugby for ‘Art in the Park’, a celebration of local artists surrounded by beautiful trees. This was my first ever experience of having a stall outside being completely uncovered, so we were really lucky to have the sun shining all day. It was great to get some […]

 { View Part 1 & Part 2 of Fresh From The Kiln } If you follow my blog regularly you may remember the work in progress stages of these coastal inspired ceramic wall panels that I posted a few weeks ago.

Workshop Update

Slowly but surely… I am getting there with my latest batch of work. I have really enjoyed creating some new style pieces and can’t wait to see the results from the glaze firing. The only thing is, I seem to have produced so much new work that I’m not sure everything will fit into the […]

Spring has arrived!

Just a little collage of images showing some of my latest items where I’ve been playing around with some different photography. I’m really pleased with the results 🙂 Each of the pieces below are currently for sale in my online shop, […]

In The Workshop . . .

It’s great to be back behind the work bench, getting covered in clay and creating some brand new work. I can often ‘just pop out for ten minutes’ to fiddle with something and then end up staying out here for hours! With a constant supply of tea, of course 🙂 Some new pieces are finally […]
