Craft Fair and online shop update!
The Craft Council Craft Fair is happening next week at Jack Byrne Arena. I skipped the Craft Fair last year because I ran out of both pots and time 🤣 But I'll be there this time with brand new pots, like this bowl from last month's wood-firing, and my RDF series.

Very dramatic colours today when the sun breaks through. Stoneware with local bone ash glaze.

First partridgeberry smoothie of the season (apple from my neighbourhood tree too)! Local stoneware mug with the classic Malcolm Davis Shino glaze. A perfect start to a busy studio day.

I know I posted this one before, but I got a good shot in the lighting booth last night and thought I should share again.

If you'd like to help me clear out my studio I'd like to help you fill your kitchen with new pots! This Saturday (one day only, 10am to 3pm) is my annual seconds sale, where you can get oddities, experiments, demo pieces, discontinued items, and imperfections for half price or better. #pottery

Home again. And able to have a more relaxed look at these pots. Here's an ash glaze (that we call Miso Gravy) on a ship mug. Vinny's happy to have me home.

Nice colour combo on this thrown and altered porcelain vase. The bare porcelain flashes orange and the glaze is the perfect complement. The glaze is 50% granite, 20% quartz, 20% limestone, and 10% clay, all sourced from nearby.
