Don’t forget. 🥰

❤️ Don't forget Two Doors Studio is only Open for three more weeks, until we close for good on Sat 4th July ! Until then we are open as usual - Wed-Sat 9:30am-5pm.
So if you have anniversaries, birthdays or other special occasions over the Summer, get in quick ! Did some one say Christmas? Yes, we have already had a few people in who said they were buying Christmas presents while they still had the chance !

There’s more clay here than I weigh!
WHAT THE HECK!

I have a massive and wonderful project a foot.

As I didn’t have any electricity today, I couldn’t throw on the wheel, so I cracked on with prepping lots and lots of clay.

Up until now I tended to do this as a bit of night before the next day preparation.

Each bag, of many, was carried down to the studio, weighed, wedged and slapped into shape.

My arms are now burning with whatever arms burn with when they’ve been doing weight training ALL day.

And this is only HALF the amount I need!

My arms are either going to be stupendously well toned or will fall off!

Watch this space! 🥰

Such sad news. 😢

❤️ We are very sad to announce that Two Doors Studio will be closing. Our last day as a shop and exhibition will be in just over three weeks - Saturday, 4th July. Until then we will be open as normal: Wed-Sat, 9.30am-5pm. Workshops will continue to run until August.

Our Landlord has plans for the use of the building, and despite negotiations we couldn't reconcile his plans with the needs of Two Doors Studio.

Lorna and Ruthie would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for their love and support of our special shop over the past 12 years. We have enjoyed every minute - nurturing the shop, and the exhibition and workshop space. We have made wonderful friends, amongst both our amazing artists and customers.

The Two Doors team are looking forward to using our artistic experience and hard work in new ventures. We will announce details here, when we are able.

Any unused vouchers can be refunded, and any saved items will be stored until they can be collected.

Our current Art Exhibition will still be running until the shop closes, so come and have a look.

Kind regards,
Lorna & Ruthie (partners of Two Doors Studio)

You are beautiful, sister.

Sisters don’t need to be blood relatives; they can be those beautiful special friends too.

Silly me. I forgot to take photos/video of me making up some new glaze so instead you will have to put up with a bit of LOVE.
Don’t forget to drink lots of water and if you need to be in the sun pop some cream on.
Sending you my love. 🥰

So today is International Tea Day!
There seems to be more International Day themes than there are days in a year.

I’m thinking that maybe there are days that I could sometimes do with that I don’t know if they really exist!

International 36 hours in a day Day.
International someone else clean the hamster out Day.
International find my phone Day.

What would yours be?

Well Bloomin Eck! Here’s a thing. 😵‍💫
My phone wouldn’t do face recognition. It should, but it wouldn’t. A couple of times it did. Then it stopped.
Being a potter is being a problem solver.
And I’ve just solved this problem. Yay.
Face recognition works only when your phone hasn’t got clay on the front of it.
🤯😜🤣
Now to crack on.
Pots to make and seeds to plant. 😊

These fabulous bowls are available at . We all need lots and lots of bowls. 😊 Even better when they are both beautiful and handmade.

There’s a theory …….

There’s a theory that the flap of a butterfly’s wing has a much bigger effect somewhere else in the world; it’s called the Chaos Theory.
I don’t believe that effect has to be bad …. A little kindness, a little gentleness . A little generosity of heart can have a greater effect than you imagine.
And there are those people that spread that beautiful chaos even when they don’t realise it ….. especially when they don’t realise it!
Then there are people like me that feel just so chaotic in a chaotic life but have learnt to accept that’s just me and embrace it.
And finally those beautiful serendipitous moments that can never be expected but just turn up in life.

Welcome Beautiful Chaos. 😘
