Excited to announce that I’ve finally set up an online shop. I can only have 12 items at a time but I’m loading up the shop this weekend! Watch this space for announcements - they will probably go live next week

In love with this Coyote glaze, Ice Blue, with its clear ice finish at the top that gives way to the cloudy veins of earthy surprises to ground the piece. Always a surprise and always beautiful.
