Well, it’s been a while since I’ve made a new journal post - honestly - it’s been tricky, but I won’t dwell on it and all the negative things Covid-19 has brought us this past year. Instead, I wanted this post to be about something else - about finding salvation and beauty in broken or redundant things and what we can learn from these objects.

We’re often asked about our inspiration and influences for making our ceramics, so I thought I’d put down some of our thoughts in this journal post.

I can’t say we eased into the New Year in a slow or thoughtful manner, rather, it was a head first dive into a flurry of work and deadlines. For some reason it’s often like this for us in January, we don’t have that quiet month of reflection that so many makers seem to have, but I won’t grumble, it’s good to be busy and we have had fun along the way. And we’ve made so many teapots…

On Saturday 16th November and Sunday 17th November, we’re opening our studios up as part of the Yorkshire Artspace’s annual Open Studios Event - it’s a wonderful chance to venture inside the Artspace’s buildings and glimpse the behind the scenes set-up of over 100 artists working in Sheffield.

We’re currently in the midst of preparations for our exhibition at The British Craft Pavilion , as part of this year’s London Design Week. Held in Hall 5 of the Truman Brewery, this is London Design Week’s go-to-exhibition for high-end craft during the festival.

This weekend we did just that, Matt baked pizza and sourdough bread in a wood-fired oven, and we prepared some tasty summer salads.

In anticipation of our online shop update, next Wednesday 24th July (7pm), and to celebrate a couple of new pieces being launched, we’re having a giveaway over on Instagram
