If you've been doing pottery for a while, you'll know things in the studio can get a little… dramatic. 🎭

A kiln opening can dictate your entire mood. 🔥 Shopping carts can somehow end up with 12 glazes that are technically all different shades of blue. 💙 And family members can be subjected to lengthy explanations about why Tenmoku is definitely not just brown. 😂

A little dramatic? Maybe. But also… kinda chic. 💅

🐾 Made With Abbots 🐾

Some pottery just makes you smile — and Lynn’s wonderful little creatures do exactly that. ❤️

Lynn is one of our original Abbots Glaze Lab members, and we always love seeing the characters that emerge from her kiln. Each one seems to have its own slightly quirky personality — and here are just a few of them 😍

And, of course, we love seeing how Lynn uses Abbots glazes to bring them to life. The soft, mottled colours, little flashes of warmth and all that lovely variation work so beautifully over the texture and hand-modelled details.

Thank you Lynn for sharing your creatures with us — they genuinely make us smile every time we see them. ❤️

Made With Abbots is our celebration of what our community is making with Abbots and Decopot products.

We’d love to feature more of you! Tag us, send us a DM or email us a photo of what’s been coming out of your kiln. Finished masterpiece, glaze experiment, happy accident or something wonderfully weird — we want to see it.

And please show Lynn’s delightful little gang some love below. 👇❤️
