Pottery. Food. Slow Sundays. ✨

Pottery Brunch Club is back… and this one is going to be *special* 🤍

🗓 Sunday 17th May 2026
⏰ 10:30am — ~3pm

We’ll begin in the studio, hands in clay, creating your own candle holder using flat slabs, then bringing it to life with beautiful coloured slips 🎨
I’ll glaze and fire it for you, ready to collect a couple of weeks later (aka a little piece of your Sunday to keep forever).

Then… we wander a few steps into the kitchen 🍃
A long table, a relaxed atmosphere, and the most delicious vegetarian feast cooked by the incredible Beth (). Vegan? Dietary needs? She’s got you covered.

This is your invitation to slow down, make something meaningful, eat something wonderful, and spend a day that feels *really good*.

We’ve been hosting these together for years and they just keep getting more magical ✨

When life gives you a badly fitting glaze with CRACKLING crackier than crackled take full advantage - try painting a solution of cobalt oxide (other oxides will do other things…) over the pot so it sinks into the cracks and re fire it - preserving the crackle pattern forever!

I have never made an eggcup before! Fiddly little things. Not my thing.

The first thing I did when I arrived here was smash a rather horrid eggcup I had - phew I thought, it’s the universe telling me what to get stuck into while I’m here…

So there I am throwing this groggy coarse clay off a hump, which was rather cool actually and getting quite into the shape, size, design, weight, balance etc. Anyway, I enjoyed the process and like my eggcups very much indeed.

That groggy clay was all slubby and mushy to work with, I really like how these little beauties have retained that quality. Very pleasing.

A massive eggcup upgrade.

And the copper oxide just showing off like that, pooling and cascading in all its wonderful varying tones from metallic black where it is really thick all the way through to the minty greens glowing and semi translucent reacting with the glaze…

My therapist suggested I should make a shrine to honour my much younger self…
I didn’t know what on earth to make and just sort of intuitively started on something - this is what emerged…
I’m pondering it somewhat. It interests me.
Has anyone else done anything like this?? I’m curious. ❤️

Finished shrine.
I seem to be making a lot of these. I must have a lot to be grateful about.
I’m so happy with how this has turned out. It’s exactly what I was hoping for. Those vitreous slip washes are just right.
What to put in here though…?

Clever creative people. ❤️
My work here is done 🤪

I never paint 🎨 seriously NEVER, but got some reason the moment grabbed me today - no idea why.
I have been really enjoying bright colour.
No idea what I’m doing but the joy is in the making right…😉
It’s actually all plants that grow around here!
It’s acrylic on plywood.
What fun.

The weather here has been everything all at once recently…
First we had hot sun, then torrential rain, then a calima Sahara dust storm then heavy rain and hail, then thick snow, then hot sun again.
Seriously, yesterday was the dust storm then hail and rain and snow and i woke up this morning to thick snow coverage and now it’s hot sun again. Im confused.

Anyway, I decided to move my making space into what is essentially a spare room under my house (the sotano, old goat shed/stable…) It felt a bit weird bringing clay and equipment into a bedroom but sod it. I love making in the new space and if anyone wants to sleep in here they still can its just a bit more arty than it used to be 😂
