Summer…

It’s been a quiet summer from me on here — life’s been full, as it always is this time of year. Between making, parenting, and working, finding time for everything has been a real challenge. That said, I tend to feel most focused and strong when I’m in the thick of it.

I’ve now wrapped up all my summer shows and am turning my attention to autumn events… and yes, even starting to think about Christmas (believe it or not!).

There are a few exciting things in the pipeline that I’ll be sharing soon, but first, I’m taking a proper break and heading off on holiday for the next two weeks.

Looking forward to catching up with you all when I’m back.

In the meantime, here’s a new addition to my collection — I’ve started making spoon rests! They’re now available on my website, so feel free to pop over and have a look. All order will be filled on my return Mid-August.

A thank you…

I’m slowly decompressing after a whirlwind few weeks of shows—first , then last weekend. Not sure what I was thinking booking them back-to-back… clearly a glutton for punishment! But honestly, I had an incredible time and met so many amazing people.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by my stand, offered feedback, and took home a piece of my work—it truly means the world to me. I’m so grateful for your support.

A big shoutout as well to the organisers and everyone working behind the scenes. The effort it takes to pull off events like these is no small feat, and you’re all stars.

And finally, to my fellow artists and exhibitors—especially those at —you’re the heart of these events. Your talent, camaraderie, and shared laughs make the long days worth it. I’m endlessly inspired by your work and so grateful for the community we’ve built.

Thank you all! ❤️

My latest colour addition is Sand, and I'm completely smitten! The deep sand colour is just like the beach after the waves have washed over it - so rich and beautiful.

This Medium Vase in Sand will be available this weekend. I'm heading to for my last show of the summer, where you can find me and other talented potters and jewelers. Pop by Friday-Sunday, 9:30-5:30!

A Day of Clay, Wine & Vineyard Inspiration
Join and for a hands-on day of creativity, wine, and delicious food in the heart of the vineyard.

Your autumn morning begins with an introduction to the ceramic process, where you’ll learn about working with clay and start building the base of your own handcrafted wine cooler.

As your clay sets, you’ll head out on a guided foraging walk through the vineyard—discover the art of winemaking and collect natural materials to imprint into your design.

Back in the tasting room, you’ll roll and press your foraged finds into the clay, adding beautiful, nature-inspired textures.

After a well-earned break, enjoy a leisurely lunch and a glass of estate wine. In the afternoon, you’ll complete the construction of your wine cooler, shaping and decorating it under the expert guidance of experienced potter Kate from . You’ll leave with not just a unique piece, but also a rich understanding of both ceramics and winemaking.
Kate will fire and glaze your finished piece off-site, ready for collection.

All materials, tools, tuition, firing, a glass of wine, tea or coffee, and a seasonal lunch are included.
