March has come and gone in the blink of an eye. This month has marked my return to the studio after my maternity leave and it feels good to be getting back into the swing of it all. I’ve been thrown right into the action as we prepare for the gas firing in April.

Earlier this month we took a spontaneous road trip to Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, a place we’d had on our lists to visit for ages. This place is so well regarded and spoken about, so I won’t spend too many words describing our experience, however we took many photographs which I’ll share here. A special day it was and we have come home with a feeling of fresh inspiration for our work, home, and how to display our pots.

February has seen us finishing working on some exciting wholesale orders for return clients and some new ones too. We’ve made some pieces for Sheffield’s Yard Gallery, for their shop at newly designed Leah’s Yard and also The Sheffield Table, the gallery’s exciting new dining club.

Saint Valentine’s Day is this Friday 14th February. Love this celebration or loathe it, there is something undeniably romantic about handmade pottery - isn’t there? I’ve selected a few gifts from our shop I think would be lovely for the occasion.

This week, whilst I’ve been waiting for my baby to arrive (still waiting, luckily us potters are well versed in the art of patience), I’ve spent the time photographing a selection of pieces from our latest gas firing. We’re so proud of this body of work, it’s what we’ve been working hard to develop for the past few years.

We’re so pleased to be taking part in the Yorkshire Artspace Maker Showcase at the YSP from 15 April – 6 October 2024.
