Spring Lamb

Spring Lamb
I love this time of year, the first signs of spring are all around us. I saw my first spring lambs this year which inspired me to go all out over the top for spring & paint this spring lamb jug.  It is not a design I do all year round so I enjoy it even more when I have the excuse to paint all things spring like. This design is not currently on my website but you can email me to order it on any of the ceramics available on my shop pages.

Bus Man's Holiday

A rainy day at the Gladstone Pottery Museum
We have just returned from a "working holiday" in Stoke-on-trent.  We managed to buy enough slip to last us for quite a few months & we learnt a bit more about how to make our own slipusing our new Blunger.We tryed to source a few new moulds but it is a waste of time we have to end up making them ourselves.
We enjoyed our visit!
 My daughters had a go at the potters wheel, but I could not get my husband Adrian to have a go. They both managed to make a small vase (with a little help!) we are going to try & fire them in the kiln so if you see some wonky vases on the stall you know who made them.

In training to join the family business!
