Hand made, thrown and sculptured, porcelain and stoneware, unique pieces.

I fell in love with pottery throwing in 2017. Having spent many years caring for family members and raising my children. I have since been able to share a wheel and studio space and develop my love for this craft. To throw a piece of porcelain and make something as simple as a tiny bowl is like shaping a cloud. You have to feel each movement of your fingers, pressure, viscosity and eventually, shape. I sometimes throw pieces with my eyes closed so I can fully engage with the piece. I then like to air dry the items and sometimes sculpt as well as trim the pieces. This makes them very unique. The Green Fox above was all hand sculptured by my son. Each leaf crafted individually and applied. It is the only piece I will never sell but indicates his ability to produce some amazing, one off pieces too. My husband is a whizz at hand painting tiny garden birds and mice onto some of my work. So really we are a “Green collab”. We all potter at this past time at home, mostly up our dining table in our spare time, after I’ve completed the very messy throwing and trimming work in the little studio (really a shed with extra windows! Melting in the summer, freezing in the winter) after two firings at a local studio by my lovely go to pottery guru, Helen, i will have glazed each piece as it speaks to me, don’t laugh, and no two pieces are ever the same. Yes, our family shares a fur ball of a puddy tat, Jack, he was sold to us as a tabby cross British short hair and turned pit to be a 7kg Norwegian Forest so you can imagine our surprise, even 5 years later I ask him daily when he will lose the 5 inches of mane around his chin and not need a daily brush! But life sends you lemons doesn’t it? So we make lots of lovely lemonade x
