✨Thank you!✨ our last day open in studio 5 was so wonderful 🥰 I’ve come to realise it’s been so much more than just a shop and studio. Your support has been overwhelming, we will miss seeing you all so much. I’m not sad it’s over but greatful it happened ❤️ if this is what the last 8 years held, what does the next 8 years look like?! We hope you will stay with us on this crazy clay filled journey to find out 😄 For now that’s us over and out, Katherine and Osc x

✨THANK YOU✨ I meant to post this on Christmas Eve but here we are 🫣☺️ it was such a crazy and busy and wonderful lead up to Christmas in the studio I ran out of time to say the most important thing to you my supporters; thank you!

My last December in studio 5 was the best yet!! It’s so wonderful to be going onto the new chapter of my making journey on a high!

As a special thank you for all your support I wanted to offer 10% off everything I make in the studio in January. I never do discounts as everything is priced on the quality material costs and my time to make each piece, but I wanted to offer something for supporting us for the last 8 years .

We would love to see you for chats, Oscar strokes and goodbyes (for now.) All the details for January opening are on the second picture. Any questions just pop me a message.

I hope you had a lovely restful break, however you chose to spend it solo, working hard in the services or with a big gang, I hope there was wonderful moments of joy in there ✨😘

The kiln’s been working overtime! ☺️ Fresh out, my porcelain lilly pad dishes have been super popular 💚 Each leaf is uniquely patterned, making every dish a one-of-a-kind treasure. Perfect to keep special jewellery safe when not being worn. Head to studio 5 or pop me a message to order yours.

I have some news to share… I’m sad but super excited to let you know after 8 years at I’ve decided to give up my tenancy for Studio 5.

While it is hard to leave my lovely studio shop and the other wonderful makers at the centre; I’m moving into my own dreamy studio at the bottom of my garden! I’ve been saving up and now I feel so lucky to be able to take a step back and gift myself time to invest in my ceramic practice, researching new ideas and techniques for new makes. And freeing up time to take up other exciting creative opportunities along side making. I’m already delivering two workshops for MMU on Preparing For Selling and Setting Up Your Business in February, which I can’t wait for!

I like to take things as they come and let the universe have a say, so what the other projects will be, who knows! If you need any help with anything get in touch.
Mainly I will still be making ceramics and jewellery and sharing my makes online. And I’ll be able to get out and about at shows and fairs again, which I can’t wait for.

For now, I wanted to say THANK YOU for making it such a wonderful journey so far, for supporting me in all the different ways to be a full time maker for 8 years! It’s been my honour to be the custodian of studio 5 for the last 5 years (and share studio 25 for 3 years before that.) I’ve loved making it a successful and welcoming studio shop, and stocking other amazing makers work. I’m excited to share with you all what comes next, if you would like to stick with me for the next chapter ☺️

Also I’d love it if you want to pop in and see us before we move studios, we will be open every day in December until 3pm Xmas Eve, and 4 days a week in January until Sat 24th January 2026 for your last handmade purchases (for now) and Oscar strokes.

Wishing you all the best for the Christmas season, Katherine x
