Here is the Jack and the Beanstalk jug that I bisque fired last week. It’s been glazed and gold lustre added. #pottery #lustreware #ceramicsart #porcelain #fairytaleonaplate

I’ve been playing with some new things. I’ve got this flower brick drying out on the shelf. It’ll have to stay there for a while now as I’m off away for work for a few weeks. I’m going to miss my studio #ceramicsart #porcelain #handmade #magpiesofinstagram #flowerbrick
Happy Saturday! I’ve not had much time for pottery (or social media) lately, and it’s taken me ages to finish a kiln load. Then it’s all been a bit disappointing. I had high hopes for this flower brick, but I can’t have wiped the feet properly after glazing because a couple of the feet chipped. Not drastically. It still stands fine and I ground it down, but it isn’t perfect. I have to decide whether to keep it or sell as a second. Do excuse my flower arranging. It’s definitely NOT in my skill set unlike my good friend @laylarobinsondesign who is a flower master. I’m more of a shove them in type! More fails to follow, and a few I think I’ve saved with a touch of bling #handmade #magpiesofinstagram #handmade #ceramicsart #porcelain #flowerbrick #pottery #potterydisaster #magpie

A detail from yesterdays jug X
I’m on my travels! I’m such a homebody that sometimes I forget just how brilliant it is to be somewhere new, meet new people and eat new food. Maybe rather too much food but hey ho!
I’m back from my travels! I’ve been doing book stuff in China, and then had family to stay here in Wales. I am exhausted!! In the meantime I had a lovely message and photo from Marie in Adelaide of her beautiful daughter who loves my book Blue Chameleon, and will only sleep on the white page. It’s so adorable it made my week. Shame the book doesn’t come in cloth form! #bluechameleon

I had high hopes for this teapot, but it didn’t come out as I’d hoped… I tried to improve it with some lustres but they made it worse! Here’s a series of photos to show you all the processes this teapot went through You win some, you lose some. #ceramics #handmade #potterydisaster #porcelain #pottery #lustreware #nightowl #owlsofinstagram

I’m on my summer holidays, and that means I have time away from my illustration desk to do some building work. This summer is all about repointing my south gable in lime mortar. (Definite before pic) we’ve removed to cracked cement. I love learning new skills but blimey I’m feeling my age #buildingwork #old #house #oldhouse
