New Cuan Spectre stoneware lamp added to my site today. One available. I’m still trying out lampshades so I’d love to hear your thoughts on the ones pictured here in the first two images x

Seeing one of my Cuan Spectre vases in House & Garden UK has been a rather lovely start to my year; featured in Licence to Kiln, issue February 2024.

Great to see my work among such a gorgeous collection too - I just love the variety and endless possibilities in pottery.

A big thank you to for the inclusion ❤️

Wishing you all a very happy new year! I have decided to start 2024 off with a big sale… lots of samples that I’ve accumulated over the last year and seconds / single items of stock that are taking up precious storage space! Mostly tumblers and vases and a few other bits and bobs. Head over to my website if you fancy a nosey… link in bio. Collection is available too (Glasgow, Southside).

I’m really looking forward to the year ahead with lots of ideas and talk of collaborations. Pottery has given me a new lease of life and I’m eternally grateful for the love, support and purchases I’ve received since embarking on this creative journey in 2022.

And that’s a wrap! A huge thank you for all the support this year. Wishing you all a lovely festive break. Bring on the cheese and wine! X

Large Cairngorm mugs in my favourite black stoneware with big comfy pulled handles. Available in glossy grey or caramel. Free postage until midnight tomorrow.

New pieces now available. I recently invested in my first kiln so after two sleepless nights, I’m happy to say this lot survived!

A little festive shop update…. Stoneware vases in my Cairngorm and Cuan Spectre styles, a few remaining mugs/tumblers, candle holders and incense burners.

The 18th December will be my last trip to the post office for the year - collection in person up until the 21st is also available, which is an option at check out.

A massive thank you to everyone who braved the cold weather and came along to the WASPS festive market at the Briggait. What a fun weekend! I’ll be adding bits and bobs that I have leftover to my site tomorrow with the aim of doing another shop update at the end of the week. Now for a hot toddy!

A massive thank you to everyone who has taken part in my festive giveaway and helped to spread the word about my pottery venture 😍 My plan is to do another giveaway in the Spring.

Congratulations to on winning one of my oil burners! X

I can’t quite believe it’s my last market of the year this weekend! I’m very much looking forward to my first WASPS makers market at the Briggait in Glasgow. I will be doing a big shop update after that… lots of vases, candle holders, mugs and more.

These ceramic burners are designed to heat and diffuse aromatherapy oils and are available in four different colours. Ideal if you’re looking to promote feelings of calm, to encourage better sleep or just to enjoy the scent of essential oils around your home ❤️

The design incorporates a deep, rimmed bowl (for mixing your oil with water) that sits snugly in place. Also suitable for wax melts.

My Seagrass tumblers. A small but perfectly formed batch of six. They hold 250ml so ideal for a latte sized beverage, hot or cold!

I’m in love with the spectrum of colours produced by this glaze. It conjures images of sea grass swaying with the ocean current. I’m really looking forward to using it more. I currently have this vase, some tumblers, oil burners and incense holders in this style, all of which will be available on my site this evening.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the makers market at the over the weekend. What a delight to talk to people about pottery all day! I’m really grateful to those who bought one of my pots and it was an absolute treat to meet more makers and designers; it’s such a lovely community to be a part of. Thanks to for organising such a brilliant event - so much talent under one roof!

it was so lovely to have you as my stall neighbour and a delight to watch people gasp at your beautiful creations x

Some pieces that I’ll be taking to the Teagreen makers market at the Burrell Collection this weekend… wheel thrown mugs, tumblers, vases, oil burners, utensil holders, incense burners and more!

I’m very much looking forward to catching up with some of other makers and designers, and of course, chatting to people about my favourite subject! It’s such a beautiful curation, well worth dropping by.

Some stoneware vases from a recent firing. Wheel-thrown and one of a kind, my favourite things to make.

A batch of tea light holders that I made for a recent wholesale order… bringing a little bit more cosiness and warmth to someone’s home any time soon ❤️

A couple of extra large vases in my Dandelion style. Standing over 30cm tall, they’re a great size for large stems. I really love how the light catches the polka dots. Small bud vase for scale 😀

One of each available.

*Seconds Sale*

This lovely big utensil holder has a surface crack on the base so I’ve listed it at a discounted price. Fully functional kitchen storage for pottery lovers ❤️

The dark nights are fair drawing in, time to think about your lighting situation.

I very much enjoyed working out the design and functionality of these lamps. Can’t wait to make more.

Raw stoneware decorated with my favourite lichen glaze produces a beautiful contrast.

A close up of the texture of my black stoneware Cuan Spectre lamps - four of which will be available on my site later this evening from 7pm. It’s been so much fun making these, a real brain tickler working out the dimensions and functionality.

I love the elegant forms and tactile texture of these two raw clay vases. Creamy white stoneware sealed inside with a gloss glaze. One of each available.

Texture 😍

You might have noticed, I’m quite fond of this glaze combo! A few pieces added to my web shop today.

Some recent work that will be available on my site later

Stoneware vases, mugs, tumblers and incense burners.
