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 […]
I think these amazingly close up images of tree cells and cross sections of tree roots are stunning! I’ll be using them as inspiration for some new designs… I love the different sized circular shapes bundled together in little patterns.
Isn’t nature beautiful? The main source of inspiration for my ceramics comes from some of the simple little details in nature such as an arrangement of tree branches, a single petal or leaf, the light shining into a meadow, seed pods, and clusters of flower heads. These images were taken from my Pinterest Nature Board […]
Hearts are a popular recurring theme throughout various different ranges and pieces of my work. I really need to make some new heart shaped clocks, that will be something to add to my list of things to make. I’ve enjoyed putting together these heart themed mood boards below, using my pinterest collection. So I’ve got […]
What a week! I’ve just got back from a trip to the seaside, I stayed at a little bay on the coast with some friends near Plymouth. We had a great time, it was so nice to have a relaxing break. The weather was kind to us all week apart from Friday when it poured […]
Gorgeous weather this weekend! I’m feeling very summery now, and looking forward to a week away at the seaside with some friends a week on Monday. I’m hoping to do a bit of beach combing! (as well as eating fish & chips, ice creams, shopping and chilling out by the sea!) When I think of […]

I had forgotten all about the feature and it was nice seeing my name in print. Can you spot the two sculptural vessels below? These pieces don’t look it […]
I have discovered a new love and passion for these beautiful flowers, if you can call a dandelion a flower. I used to pick them as a child and make a wish, then blow the seeds away. Did you know that dandelions are found as weeds worldwide? But they are so pretty! Each single flower […]
Looking through my folder of inspiration images, I came across many that involved some sort of circular design. I put together this collage above of some of my favourites, and then compared them to some images of my work involving circles too. I think it is clear to say that circle patterns in nature are […]
The early morning frosts and slight dustings of snow are inspiring my work at the moment 🙂 I love how the light powdery stuff clings to everything in sight.
