JANUARY UPDATE- Sadly after a prolonged stay in hospital Mum is approaching the end of her journey with Dementia. She is home and we are all spending as much time as possible with her, so I thought it best to advise you that existing orders were mostly at the glazing stage and other than a few pieces that decided to break, most orders are going out this week 16th-23rd Jan, I have closed other shops down but I’m leaving this running, with the caveat that 4 weeks should be a more realistic delivery time. I’m not running any promotions so I’m only expecting a few dribs and drabs, which will probably be a nice distraction to prepare. Thank you for your understanding x Pip and the boys x

Otter and Sky 10% discount on candles and wax melts (November 25) code TIPSYMOTH

POSTAGE- I currently post to the UK only (excluding Northern Ireland) this is due to New legislation in the EU that makes it difficult for tiny makers like me to export items, I do occasional post to USA, Canada & Australia but it works out quite expensive, please contact me for a quotation with a list of products so that I can estimate parcel size and weight.

LOCAL COLLECTION- is available please use this option if you genuinely are local, not on the other side of the world!

RETURNS- everything is made to order and products do vary from the photos slightly as each is unique, my style is rustic and I try to give a good description of design. Therefore I do not accept return without a valid reason. Broken Items are replaced if they arrive damaged, please inspect on opening and photograph damages for me.

If you sign up for emails in the link above you will get first dibs on popular items and discount codes

I am happy to answer questions and adapt designs in non busy periods

A bit more about me……… I got interested in ceramics after seeing a video where a kooky Danish guy fired his pottery in a garden bin! So there I was, during Covid, experimenting and building kilns in my garden, learning all about the rules of ceramics,just so that I could break them. That’s why I handbuild all my pottery, because when ceramics started over 30,000 years ago, no one used wheels or any other new-fangled gadgets (don’t get me started on lasers in pottery) I love the thought that we can still see the fingerprints of Roman Potters today in pots excavated and stored in the London Archives. I don’t believe in mass production, or tidy symmetrical things,I like wobbly, bumpy, wonderful, gooey glazes and daft designs.

I’m a neurodivergent, middle aged, single mother of 4 caring for my elderly mother with Dementia. This business probably wont grow much bigger than this and that’s ok with me, its mostly a labour of love and an excuse for more cake (to use as photo props of course) I keep my price reasonable and my items unique & beautiful, but I’m not Amazon so you wont get items overnight, there’s only so much I can do! thank you for all your support x
