After weeks of slipcasting #davidhockney is ready for his paint. These little cups are destined to travel to #nyc for the October exhibition @themorganlibrary 😁

Small break from little cups and made two massive mugs. #scraffito

So much work goes into one little cup, from modelling, mould making, casting, fettling, sculpting, painting, scraffito, bisque firing, glazing and then a earthenware firing all done by me in my little studio in West Yorkshire! #Craft ❤ #ceramics #pottery #clay #insta_pottery

First bisque firing for a new design. 🤞 for the glaze firing. . . #tutor #henryviii #eggcup #clay #earthenware #ceramics #pottery

Nice surprise, my little figures were in the The Yorkshire Post yesterday 😁

Just out of the kiln and still warm, so back in stock and website updated 😁

Details of my new coiled pot, inspired by a local folktale about Lady Sybil, who transforms herself into a white doe. . . . . #coiling #scraffito #clay #pottery #ceramics #insta_pottery #folktale

Had my first afternoon in the studio since lockdown, Ada's ready to be glazed.

Thank you for your patience some orders may take a good while to reach their new homes! The post office are doing amazing job in difficult times but in some areas delivery will be a few weeks. Loving all the pictures being shared of these that have made the journey already 😁 @acbart #insta_pottery #ceramics #pottery #clay #earthenware #eggcups

Just one of the many uses of my little cups @hellyhandsewn 😁 . . . insta_pottery #ceramics #pottery #clay #earthenware #eggcups
