MAB Ceramics

They're all available to purchase, but they can all be kept by me too!

🔥😍

Pure pottery painting pleasure!

Also, there's coffee, and croissants... and obviously cake.

Book a seat, share the space with friends or find some peace in painting alone.

If anyone dares to mention that one might be having too much fun.

One would be correct.



Glaze firing from the weekend that was.

It's glazing time!!

Really getting the hang of placing quirky things to view as their underglaze is fired on.

The fun has found me!

We laugh in the face of power failures.

Small plates, big sentiments.

Can't stop, won't stop.

This where we breathe easily:

To 'go home' is to return to yourself. If you seek space in which to go home, come retreat with us, 4-7 May.

Where worlds meet, our day gig and our hobby are perfect compliments to the work of Hilde Hay Careers & Retreats

What an absolute pleasure!

We'll never be able to venture far from Sedgefield with our retreats - because what are we without Mel? Pilates - Baumeister Approach

There's a bunny in front of the bu****le!

Packed the kiln just right, this is at 938°C.

And an automatic off, swift little firer, 8 hours (including two of failed electricity) - and bisque is biscuited.

And this little plate, with big sentiments went home after a and found itself perfectly at ease.
..sigh...

Life is so very good, when you love what you do, and do what you love.

Today, MAB Ceramics is at a wedding!

What a privilege to be a part of something so important - thank you for trusting us with the small plates, big sentiments!

Mornin'

🎩🐧

It's a beautiful day for a play!

Commissioned by a friend and delivered tomorrow!

A caddy for candles and sundries, St George's Quay from these hands to a happy home.

The perfect place to pick up a Valentine's Day coffee, snack and piece of pottery!

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
Love is gentle,
Love is good,
Love lasts forever
TODAY we witnessed LOVE..

And also these.

Once we start, we can't stop.

Beautiful things!

There seems to be an issue with the amount of fun we are having at making pottery things - have no idea how to resolve it, will just keep at it, until the fun is done.

These smol things have brought us great joy, and we have to fill up the kiln!

This week in pottery life:

A terracotta army of goddesses, forming 'Circles of Friends' at L'Atelier

Glazing 'tchotchke' for 3 hours 🤭🤦‍♀️

roasted shop displays - each piece unique never any one the same!

And a little wind chime mobile for this new kid that arrived!

😳❤😄

Never thought I'd see the day! Fired a kiln, my kiln, at home, with stuff in it that I made, with my hands.

All with extreme patience downloaded by the incredibly tolerant and flexible human, my mentor and favourite teacher ever, Linda Ormond of Claymore Pots - thank you 🙏🔥🖖

If you go for a coffee (and more) at Slow Roasted, then you'll see these IRL!

Each one is unique, hand made, lovingly crafted, perfect to give away as a gift or to keep and cherish.

Small plates, big sentiments.

(Most of these will be on display soon, but some of them are already owned)
