Guardian Gift Guide again!

I was so excited to see my little cups again in the Guardian, alongside the Holly and Co catalogue!

I am running low on most things but in spring, I will be making more. It takes about two months for a batch to be made, so I will, have a shop update before Easter.

So watch this space or sign up to the mailing list.

Cliffe Castle Bee Pot

I made the pot on the right in 2017. I have only just got to see it on display.

It's all about Bee's, and was made for an exhibition @southsquarecentre inspired by Cliffe Castle's, it’s now part of Bradford Museums and galleries collections.

Website Shop closed in August

My Website Shop will be closed in August and reopen in early September.

This is so I have time to make more little cups and sort out my seconds for the mini sale.

Thank you everyone for your support so far this year :)

Low Stock

Sorry a lot of things are out of stock, this is due to be being away for a long time with family over the last 17 months. I am back in the studio now and working towards getting everything made that’s out of stock.

I hope to have all the cups made by July and new mugs and pots will be August time. So watch this space for dates for shop updates.

Shop closed for a little while

Sorry for any disappointment the webshop is closed due to being away with family.

Please visit my stockist page in the meantime!

Website Shop Closed until November now.

Back visiting family for a while but you can still get my work through my great stockists.

All are listed on my contact page. Sadly I will not be doing any commissions until next year.

I hope to have another seconds and sample sale in January, so watch this space for dates!

Postage may take alot longer then 2 weeks!

Thank you to everyone who ordered from my webshop and thank you for sharing the photos for the cups in their new homes. A big thank you also for your patience if your still waiting for your orders, I have spoken to staff at the post office and they said that some distribution centres have a mountain of stuff waiting because of staff shortages and increase in online ordering, and that things could take up to a month in some areas or arrive the next day. Many thanks again for your understand in these pandemic times.

Working from home

I can’t slipcast from home but I have managed to do a few things. This coiled pot was made for my coiling demonstrations in my classes and I finally…months later got around to decorating it. The clay is a white stoneware with a black slip, the carved design is based on a local folklore about Lady Sybil and the White Doe. I am working towards a exhibition next year, so if this fires okay this maybe the first piece towards it.
