APRIL UPDATE- online store closing- Dont panic! We originally started our online shop to sell places on our pottery courses and then added a few items and it grew from there, but recently we have been invited to sell on some larger curated online stores and it turns out its much easier for a batty middle aged woman to have a bit more structure and professional support than to try and juggle over 100 designs on a website that Louis & I have to admin ourselves. All items (plus lots of new and revisited designs) have been moved to Etsy & Folksy has a basic core of designs (i’m a huge folksy fan!) and tw0 new online shops will open soon, we are hoping that this will help provide a steadier flow of varied work rather than a viral post on instagram selling 60 c*nt mugs in one afternoon! If you are an email subscriber, we will still be doing discounts and giveaways (and unicorns too) and will occasionally open a pop up shop here if we have something exciting to show you, Thank you so much for your kind support in the last 2 years xx

JANUARY UPDATE- Sadly after a prolonged stay in hospital Mum passed away peacefully at home, we are missing her every day, she was an extremely sweet, kind and patient Mum, Granny & Great Grandma. We are rolling along slowly and getting back to work in our own time. Thank you for your understanding x Pip and the boys x

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. 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
