I’m a potter and gardener based in Essex and I love nothing more than getting muddy in the studio or on the allotment.

Here come my spuds, rocket rocketing away. I only grow first earlies, there is no piped water on our site so I can’t water later in the season when main crops need it. Same problem with sweetcorn.

My salad tower has grown like mad during March. I’ll start harvesting leaves next weekend.

Last year I saved my own sweet pea seeds and foolishly left them in a pot in the greenhouse. The mouse decided to scoff the lot but also hoard some in the greenhouse beds, and now they are growing. They can stay in the greenhouse, I would hate to offend the mouse.

A colourful kiln load today, however I’m feeling uninspired…. Filling orders, stocking my Etsy shop but not making something different, something fun……☹️

Made sushi rolls for lunch today and my bamboo carved serving board showed them off perfectly.

Inspired by mass produced book vases I spotted at the garden centre at the weekend, thought I would have a go at making my own.

Colour is springing to life in my garden. Heading to the allotment tomorrow afternoon with a trailer full of manure for the pumpkin patch and raspberries

Still playing around with sgraffito. It will look great once those pencil marks have burnt off.

Salads are springing up. The first planting will go in the greenhouse borders, the rest will be potted on to eventually go out in the big wide world. Oh and I know the mustard is crammed in, old seed I didn’t think would germinate 🙄

I know some people take the Micky out of kintsugi but my beautiful big carved platter cracked, I’ve ordered some new kiln shelves and alumina hydrate, so rather than bin it, I saved it. At least now I can hang it on the wall in my kitchen.

More carving by me. A set of farm animal mugs. These are white stoneware clay, chunky mugs, covered with black underglaze then carved back.

A commission piece which still needs a little tidying up tomorrow. If it survives its journey it will be just over 12 inches wide.

Chunky mugs with chunky handles, all underglazed and awaiting carving. They will be black inside too so I’m not worried about the splodgy rims. ☺️

Something I’m practicing this spring inbetween commissions is sgraffito. I love the effect and the texture. Think I need to invest in engobes.

I’ve got an order for 4 large mugs which need names and their band logo on, and damn they are playing me up! When I just make, everything’s great, as soon as it’s an order it all goes wrong so I’ve made a dozen just because I can. Handle time! #pottery #ceramics #essexpotter #potterymugs

Just spent an hour birdwatching in my garden for the rspb big bird watch thingy. Typically the garden was quite quiet, where’s my mob of adolescent starlings this morning?!?
