🩶 GUEST ARTIST FOR JULY 🩶 Beautiful and functional stoneware and porcelain ceramics by
Claire is a small batch potter based near Saffron Walden, Essex. She hand throws all of her work on the potters wheel using stoneware and porcelain, which is then fired to 1,240C.
She particularly loves the transformation from raw clay to a highly glazed finished surface, and her work always contains unglazed surfaces to highlight this contrast.
The resulting pieces are highly tactile and are made to be used, handled and loved.
We have plates, cups, mugs, vases and bowls and a very special 6 piece Platter Set in Ink blue glaze - which would make a perfect gift for any Green Tea drinker.
Individual Green Tea Cups are also available in a range of colours.
Available throughout July while stocks last…
