sophie day ceramics
Well, hello there! Welcome to my pottery space. My name is Sophie, and I create handmade functional
Hello angels πΌπ long time since Iβve last posted (sorry about that). Thank you for everyone who has continued to contact me in my unannounced hiatus ππ Iβm truly flattered and grateful.
I do plan on returning to making pots to sell at some stage, but for now I simply donβt have the time immerse myself in clay as I could during the peak of COVID.
Thank you to everyone that supported me over the past year with my pots! I am taking this hiatus time to recoup some creativity and develop some ideas for new pieces.
I was trawling through all my pottery pics to pick one for this post and settled on this one. Probably one of my most popular pieces - but equally so simple. What is it about the simple curved lines that draws us in?
Until next time.
-Sophie ππ
My favourite Sunday ritual βοΈππ»
Slow morning, fresh coffee, and checking the veggies. There is something about nurturing your future food, while simultaneously drinking from a handmade mug that is just SO fulfilling. π itβs hard getting a moment like this in the lead up to Christmas, letβs not forget to take a moment for self love amidst the chaos πππ
Big thank you to all the support in the last drop and making this small pottery dream a reality ππ π₯Ί
I feel so incredibly lucky to be able explore ceramics and share them with you β¨
I may have a few more mugs available before Christmas - I will just post these up at random as I get them from the studio π
Sending lots of love to you all! π

Before and after firing β¨
Iβm going through a flat mug phase ~ canβt stop, wonβt stop π
β¨I made this lil plate as part of a set a couple of years ago, and they are used nearly everyday in my house. β¨ super flat, minimal lip, with a beaut glaze combo from
I havenβt made any plates for a long time, mostly due to a lack of storage space in our garage that ive commandeered solely as my pottery space (sorry π).
What would you guys like to see made in the future?
P.s Also big love to this home grown parsley and sourdough toast ~ real weekend treat π€€π₯π₯

good afternoon folks π iβll be posting some mugs for sale this Saturday at 12pm on instagram only.
there will be about 15 mugs total, across a few different styles including these π as well as a couple of boobie mugs, some of the flat mugs and a few sneaky extras.
Iβm quite excited and nervy to be putting more work into the world ~ thank you everyone for being so patient with me π
xx
how Iβm currently feeling about all the good news in Vic π€canβt wait to see all my fav Melbournians again π₯°π
this lil mug is now bone dry and ready for its first firing! after which Iβll sand out any tiny imperfections and glaze it white π
good morning π«π
donβt mind me, Iβm still doting over this piece and itβs pair that I picked up on wednesday. π i have settled on this flat, wide mug shape and colour patterning, that just makes me so happy inside ~ more to come π
i have had some good pottery wins and also some losses this week ~ hopefully will be sharing more with you very soon. thank you everyone for being so patient with me π
same glaze, same technique, same firing, different results.
variability is the bane and beauty of pottery π
~small snippet of mug making π ft. lil old me in our garage at the wheel ~
i am SO excited to be picking up lots of mugs this Friday, for a shop update next week! π
my beautiful partner Stephen is working on a website behind the scenes to make the viewing the mugs a whole lot easier π
honestly, feels like chrissy has come early.
ππ
quality control. π
if this mug were a man, I might just marry him...
sleek, sxc, low profile, yet delicate. so dreamyyyyyy i know βοΈπ₯°
hopefully i will have some for my next update π» which will be in a week or two depending on when the local studio is firing.
this mug was freshly trimmed and handled on sunday (excuse the clay hands). it still requires its two firings and glaze to become its beautiful, useable self π»
ive been rather quiet on the socials this week ~ but promise i have been busy prepping lots of mugs for the next couple of weeks! im planning to have seeing eye mugs, b00b1e mugs, some faces, some white/black/coloured mugs and even some new low profile mugs π LOTS.
beeen busy π»
but in the meantime I am excited to share these handleless mugs I made for my sissyβs birthday ππ
a set of four of the finger cuddle mugs, thrown in recycled clay, finished with a satin white glaze. a super minimal look, which were a dream to make.
i looooovee the soft base curve and how these feel in hand. Best used for coffee, due to lack of handle.
Should I make more of these y/n?
