When you buy a handmade piece from an artist or maker, you’re getting so much more than the item.

You’re making an investment which reflects not only the hours spent making the item, but the skill and expertise of the artisan which has been honed over years of learning, experimenting, observing, sketching, problem solving. You’re buying a moment in time - the culmination of many moments before which have evolved into the piece you see before you.

You’re also making an investment in your future happiness - the joy you will find in owning or using the item day to day is priceless.

Value is so much more than the price tag 💙

{Still a couple of my handmade bunting plates available on the website - swipe to see them after I had added the sketched design, just before they went into the kiln}.

I actually filmed this last night after showing some guests around the studio, but ran out of time to post it.

I will be taking a slower pace over the school Summer holidays and spending time with my boy, so you will find latest stock updates on here and on Stories.

You can still shop online - all of the natural skincare is on the website and some of the unique pieces too but it’s quicker and easier for me to showcase new finds on here - so do follow along.

If you see anything that catches your eye, don’t be afraid to reach out and enquire on size, price etc, I always welcome enquiries via DM 🫶🏼

Have a great Monday!

Always trying to capture an elusive presence, meaning every piece has its own unique story and is one of a kind.

The trace of the maker alludes to its beginning, will you feature in its next chapter?

Handmade plates to bring joy to every day moments

plates to eat from (don’t save them for best)
plates to take on the picnic (don’t save them for the kitchen)
plates to display on the wall (don’t save them for the table)

plates as a blank canvas for my drawings and a gateway for your imagination ✨
