Fresh out of the kiln. A new sgraffito bowl shape, crisp lines and clean carving. I am happy with how this one came through, the form feels balanced and the surface shows the detail beautifully.

Opening a glaze kiln can feel like unwrapping a surprise. Sometimes there are disappointments, and today this part was the joy.

I’m so pleased with the results of working with Sibelco Chocolate Speckle clay. The tones, the texture, the way the glaze sits on it — it all came together beautifully.

Opening a glaze kiln is always a mix of excitement and dread. You hope for perfect results, but sometimes it goes the other way.

One of my black clay Bervie bowls, made for an order, came out cracked and broken. It is the second time this has happened. I know black clay is more sensitive, but I’m starting to wonder if the white clay slip inside is making it more vulnerable.

Part of working with clay is accepting that not everything survives the fire. Still, it stings even more when it’s a piece made for someone waiting for it.

After 10 months, the garage is now my ceramic studio.. the space is finally coming together. Just a couple more things to sort—connecting the water and getting the kiln—and then it’s full steam ahead. 😃
Tomorrow, I’ll finally start getting back into the clay, and I can’t wait.

Let’s get to work. 🏺

There’s something pretty brilliant about seeing a piece you decorated out of the kiln and properly holding its own on the wall. Spent time, effort getting it just right, and now it’s part of the home like it was always meant to be.

A Day at London Design Week 🇬🇧

On Monday I went to Chelsea Harbour Design Centre for London Design Week, and it was well worth the visit.
Plenty to see, from classic craftsmanship to cutting-edge interiors, with some great conversations along the way . Always interesting to spot the emerging trends and see how designers are pushing things forward.
Also, It was lovely to see my ceramic bowls on display at the Rubelli London Showroom😊.

Another creative afternoon at the Funky Wee Teapot in Montrose, decorating a plate and letting creativity flow.
Meanwhile, big changes are happening at home—work on converting the garage into my ceramic studio is officially underway!
The new roof is on, and next week, work will start on framing the inside in readiness for insulation and replacing the old garage door with the new glass panels and doors. It’s all starting to take shape!😃
