is another local potter who’s work I stock here in the shop
She uses slab building & her own moulds to form the pieces. Some work has the colour built up in layers of quick vibrant brush strokes of bright slips over paper stencils to give the patterns. Other pieces have detail carved into the slip - scrafitto & many have more underglazes & oxides added. They are then finished with a luscious clear glaze. This makes each item truly one of a kind. Such beautiful colours.

It’s not just wonderful ceramics I have here in the shop, I have all sorts of lovely things…. Cards, like these birds cats & mobiles, soaps & bath things from .wellness, wax melts, candles, these recycled notebooks from , paper tape, hand printed textiles & funky teatowels from to mention just a few!
I love to be able to stock all these British made items from small companies & makers like myself, at prices to suit all pockets.

A brilliant new delivery new in (well I’ve had them in for a leetle while but it always takes me ages to get around to the social media stuff haha) from in all their myriad of amazing colours in slip cast porcelain.
Formed by Yuta Segawa they are a collective based in London experimenting with imperfect production in a world of machines.
As you can tell from my raving I love ❤️❤️ them!! There are 3 sizes of vases lots of big mugs & a few of 2 sizes of espresso mugs as a wee (literally!) experiment. Single or double shots. Which would you choose?

🎉🎉Another new fab artist for the shop - .art 🎉🎉
Photographed from signs & buildings, not digitally created, they do all sorts of phrases but I have mainly chosen the northern ones & I love the beauty & the humour - Mardy Bum & Old Fart went almost as soon as I put them out!
All the locations are listed on the back & the northern phrases are northern locations - come in & see if you can spot where they were taken!

They travel across the UK photographing the signage on hotels, pubs, shops and iconic buildings. As a result they have generated a vast image bank of letters in a variety of typographic styles, ranging from vintage and weathered to sleek and contemporary.

These letters are original photographs and are not digitally created – they are real photographs of real letters on real buildings and as such may show signs of wear and tear due to the elements, but this all adds to their charm and character.

Here in the shop I have a few local makers including . Her hand built soap dishes are really lovely & make a great gift.
She applies the underglaze with stencils & brushes which gives great texture & colour.
