Potter creating gifts inspired by nature 🍂

A little wedding journey for these bespoke ceramic table tags… 🤍🌿

Each tag has been individually made and personalised, then carefully packaged into its own box for each table, ready for the next part of its adventure!

They’re now on their way to Ireland 🇮🇪, before being tucked into the wedding party’s suitcases and travelling on to Spain for the big day. 🇪🇸☀️

I love being able to create something truly personal for a wedding, so that every little detail feels part of the same story.

From my pottery table in Staffordshire to a wedding in Spain… I wonder how many miles these little tags will travel! 🤍

🍬 A little piece of Shirl’s Sweet Shop

Some commissions are extra special… and this one really touched me. ❤️

I was asked to recreate Shirl’s sweet shop at , Staffordshire, as a unique ceramic lamp for her son, who was getting married.

Shirl owned the sweet shop before sadly passing away a few years ago, so this little lamp is more than just a light — it’s a way of keeping a very special memory alive.

I slab built the building, using oxides for the slate roof and then created the tiny world inside, with shelves filled with sweets and little characters including Shirl herself.

And when the light comes on, the whole little shop glows. ✨

I love that handmade ceramics can become so much more than something beautiful to look at. They can hold memories, places, people and stories — and become something to treasure for years to come.

This one was a real privilege to make. ❤️

I’ve been having so much fun playing around with colours lately, and I’m really excited to finally share some of the new shades I’ve added to my napkin rings🌈

There are lots of lovely colours to choose from, whether you prefer something soft and subtle or a little brighter and more playful.

Each one can be personalised with a name, date or special message, making them a lovely keepsake for weddings, celebrations or simply making your table feel that little bit more special.

A little reminder if you’re ordering for a special date — personalised orders take around 3 weeks to make, plus postage time, so it’s worth allowing a little extra time when ordering.

A little basket of sunshine heading to Spain 🇪🇸☀️

These personalised ceramic napkin rings are off to a beautiful wedding on 11th July, glazed in soft summer garden hues inspired by sunshine, wildflowers and long alfresco celebrations 🥂

It’s funny how certain dates become favourites — 11th July is proving to be one of the most popular wedding dates of the year, and I’ve had several wedding orders booked for the very same day!

Each napkin ring is individually hand made by pressing letters into the wet clay, glazing and firing in a hot kiln, creating a keepsake that guests can take home long after the last dance. I can just imagine these gathered around a table full of flowers, laughter and Mediterranean sunshine ☀️ 🌸 🌺 🌻

Wishing the happy couple the most wonderful day. 💛

📦🚚 And off they go… 🦆 🐭 🦔 🐿️

I always get quite attached when I’m creating these little homes - imagining their stories, their quiet evenings by the fire, what big mouse is reading…the tiny world tucked safely inside.

I hope it brings as much warmth, joy and comfort to its new owner as it did me while I was making it 🤍

Safe travels little ones 💕

What a gorgeous elegant gift Carlota & Oliver gave to their guests for their wedding in Northern Spain 🇪🇸. Biscuits, chocolates and liquor, all nestled in Spanish wooden flour sieves and adorned with my little handmade ceramic green tags 🏷️

Once the pencil hits the paper I feel less anxious and now excited! I’m just starting work on a new commission for a special friend. A cosy lamp again, but this time built a completely different way to how I normally make them. This one will be slab built. The clay is bought and I have until September… thank goodness! 😁🤞🤞

Maybe those local to Staffordshire or beyond may recognise it as it progresses?!

I might add a new bird table to the list after this!

I love making pieces that celebrate special moments in people’s lives. 💍

These hand-sculpted stoneware leaves and napkin rings are personalised with the couple’s names and the date they said “yes” or the day they were married. Each one is individually hand-sculpted, engraved by hand and kiln fired in my small studio in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

No two are ever quite the same, which feels fitting for a love story that’s completely unique.

They make a thoughtful engagement or wedding gift, and something the couple can keep long after the celebrations are over.

🌿 Personalised with names and a special date
🌿 Handmade from strong & durable stoneware clay
🌿 Lots of colour options available

I always feel honoured knowing these pieces become part of someone’s story.

A lovely memory from Holly and Charlie's wedding favours last year 😊. Their guests names were added to a ceramic leaf, tied with a gorgeous burnt orange velvet ribbon and used as a place setting and wedding favour.

Each ceramic leaf is sculpted from strong stoneware clay using a real leaf. It’s still winter here in the UK but before we know it, fresh oak leaves will be sprouting around our home again. I keep watching out for the buds on the trees 🌳. Thankfully, a few years ago, I discovered a way to preserve leaves by giving them a drink of water and vegetable glycerin - they remain delicate yet surprisingly durable for years, keeping me going over winter 😁. The process doesn’t keeping the colours of the leaves though, so I still prefer to work with the fresh version!

Pop me a message to discuss large order discounts and availability 💕

The first wedding order of 2026 safely arrived at its excited home this week. Thank you for your order Casey and Hannah 💕

There is something incredibly special about making wedding favours. The magic of the day, and the wonder of where in the world they all end up, and what delicious meals they are used to adorn tables for 🥰.
