Hard to capture the volcanic flow in these red hot handmade pods! We’re all loving it right now… both our inside and outdoor spaces. My beautiful hanging plants are loving it!

A collaboration between 3 non verbal autistic people and myself today! 🥰
An entry to an upcoming local flower show, this planter is pretty massive at 34cm diameter. One hour each session…. And we made it! Can’t wait to see it finished and glazed.

My Fridays are very special and a highlight of this week - playing with this ‘marble run’, made by Peter- one of my autistic clients. Handmade, unique and such sensory fun! 🤩

Laura’s beautiful vessels!
Handmade, tactile, and quietly bold.

A sculptural purple vase with a rich glaze and raised slipped dot detailing, paired with two mat black planters—simple, weighty, and modern.

Each piece is individually made, celebrating texture, form, and the beauty of everyday objects.

I’m so pleased to share this hand-thrown funerary urn, fresh from the kiln and now on its way home to South Africa. Rest in deepest peace, lovely Margeaux 💙👼💙

The sculpted owl on the lid stands as a quiet guardian—symbolising wisdom, protection, and passage—while the body carries delicate, inlaid moth-like forms inspired by personal tattoo designs, echoing transformation and return.

Layered in tranquil blues and turquoise, the shifting glazes and textures make this a deeply personal and contemplative memorial piece.

A small ‘Batman Beyond’ symbol rests on the base—deceptively asymmetrical, and a meaningful challenge to inscribe.

On the day I threw the form, I was unexpectedly gifted two owl feathers, now travelling alongside this piece.

I hope this vessel brings some peace as it journeys onward. 🪽 🪽 🪽

Sunlit, wheel-thrown, and one of a kind. 🌞🔥

This handmade hanging planter was thrown on the wheel, & finished with a rich, flowing red glaze that catches the light differently every time you look at it. The organic form + bold color = a little statement piece for your space.

And that gold finial? ✨Hand-finished to anchor the piece with a touch of warmth and elegance—it gives the form a sense of balance while adding just the right amount of shine.

Paired here with one of my favorite carnivorous plants—because why not let your decor have a bit of personality? 🌿

Every curve, every drip, every detail is part of the process. No two are ever the same.

Would you hang this in your space? 👀

I’m truly overwhelmed with my new willow design by Nikki Paints! It is absolutely glorious and so mystical… thankyou to all who have stopped by in wonderment to view it up close! Last evening I had the shock of my life to hear Pumpkin fighting in my studio, after inspection I found a tiny foxcub hiding in a corner! I honestly can’t believe how it entered and whilst I was terrified, and Pumpkin perplexed with the new visitor, I had to remember that it was more terrified of us as I donned my leather gauntlets to pick it up and release it, my heart was pounding! I lost my phone in the process and only wish I’d been able to take a picture before releasing it back outside! I think Nikki casted a spell with her mural! 🍄🫣😍

One of the windows painted for in Loxwood featuring Claire’s lovely dog Izzy 💕🐾 Claire asked for giant hogweed because it grows abundantly near the studio, kingfishers because the studio is minutes from the river Arun, along with Irises, and wild mushrooms 🍄 🍄‍🟫. There are still some important little friends to be added here too 🙂which I’ll be doing next week

Looking forward to doing the rest soon ✨luckily the weather is looking good next week! 👏

Although it looks cool, beware the giant hogweed people! If you see something that looks like giant cow parsley or yarrow, but huge, don’t touch it! It can really blister your skin. 🚫
