Last weekend I was in Stratford-Upon-Avon exhibiting at The Home and Garden Show along the river. The show was quite spectacular and was very well organised. I was in the local crafts marquee and had a lovely little set up in the corner. On Saturday I had a very excited shop keeper come to help! […]
I love making bespoke custom orders, especially when there is a story behind them. I often get asked to make a piece for a loved one, for certain special occasions or memories. These ceramic poppy vases were originally made as a custom request for a lady who wanted them to be displayed on her husbands […]
Back in December 2014 I was asked to make some ceramic holly leaves by Justine Stroud of ‘Primary Colours’ Murals & Mosaics, for one of her latest school projects. The mosaic was for two schools in Cardiff which merged together in one building, one being Welsh first language. The children took part in a competition […]
Every ceramic artist has their own creative journey, different reasons for where their interest in ceramics came from, and how they have developed a hobby or career as a ceramicist. 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 […]
I’m so happy to say that 2014 has been a year to remember. When I look back on all of the different things I have achieved, I can’t stop smiling! I am so so excited for what the future holds, and would like to thank everyone who has supported me, and continues to encourage me […]
My new ceramic decorations are frost proof so are suitable for outdoor display in the garden as well as inside the home. They also make a lovely addition for brightening up graves. Each decoration is attached to a long green coloured strong wire stem, which can be cut to any desired length. The wire pushes […]
On Saturday 20th September our coffee morning took place at Newnham Village Hall near Daventry. After weeks of planning and organising, collecting donated raffle prizes, cakes and vouchers from local businesses, it was such a relief when everything finally took shape on the day. People came from all different areas to visit our event where […]
It’s been a good week for Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics in the press! Issue 51 of Making magazine came out yesterday, and I was lucky enough to be informed by one of the editors that my glossy green mushroom bowl was featured on the Lust List pages of the mag. So I dashed out in the rain to get […]
I can’t believe our 4 week sketchbook project has come to an end. Time has flown by since we have been under pressure to produce one drawing a day for a whole month, but it has been a really enjoyable experience. I now have a whole sketchbook full of new imagery to use as surface […]
I delivered a new collection of coastal inspired pieces to The Hayrack Gallery at The Old Dairy Farm Craft Centre in Upper Stowe yesterday. Some of the hanging wall panels aren’t up yet, but I’m really happy with the display so far. Robert & Kim, the gallery owners, said: “We particularly like the houses which […]
Another week has passed which means 7 more drawings have been produced for the sketchbook project I am taking part in with Megan Ashwell Design. Our drawings will be used as inspirational imagery and design ideas for creating new work, and we will also be producing some cards from various drawings. You can view my […]
I have to admit I am struggling a little to keep up with producing a drawing every day for a whole month as part of our sketchbook project, but I’m glad we set such a tough challenge. It is a great motivation task! If you are a creative person I would recommend a similar challenge […]
