Need more stock, or something bespoke?
If you don't see enough in stock, or fancy a custom colour, just message me — made-to-order pieces usually take a few weeks and I'll always confirm a timeframe first.
How it's made
Every piece is thrown by hand by me, in my home studio in Bedfordshire. Each pot is shaped, left to dry to leather-hard, trimmed, and handles pulled and carefully attached as necessary. Once fully dry, each piece is bisque fired to over 1000°C and cooled for around 12 hours, then glazed (with up to 8 brushed-on coats of glaze to build those painterly effects). Finally, the piece undergoes a glaze firing to 1180°C, followed by another 12-hour cool-down. Start to finish, the whole process can take 3 to 6 weeks, a little longer in colder, damper months.
A note on handmade variation
Because each piece is made by hand, you may notice small differences in glaze and size from piece to piece — that's not a flaw, it's the joy of owning something one-of-a-kind.
Caring for your new pottery
This piece is dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday ease, but hand washing will keep the glaze looking its best over the long run — totally your call!
Kind to the planet too
Every order is packaged using recyclable and biodegradable materials — no unnecessary plastic, just careful, planet-friendly packing so your piece arrives safe and sound.
