To celebrate the launch of the Autumnus Vase for BATCH 1, we got in touch with our friend Vicki, founder of Uncut Stems, to see if she’d like to create something for us.. Luckily she said yes and it has been a joy to see how Vicki and her colleague Louisa decided to style the vase.

I’ll be frank, I’ve been short on time this month so this is a super concise edition of our monthly studio journal. School holidays, preparing for BATCH, consuming and preparing cheesecake. A massive shop update. Packing pots for days. It’s been a month!

A story about mugs - how we make them, which are our favourites. And about the love / hate relationship with handles.

Here’s what we’ve been up to in the studio this month. We’ve welcomed a new team member, Natalie, who is helping us with a whole host of tasks from admin to marketing and all things in between, we’ve been working on our new project, BATCH, we’ve made many ramen bowls and lidded jars, and have had some beautiful images taken by India Hobson. I’ve been reading ‘Kenko and Chomei - Essays in Idleness and Hojoki’ and we’ve been listening in the studio to our Spotify playlists and to Sense and Sensibility. It’s been a rather hectic type of month, with the end of the school year and just so much to do in the pottery!

Excerpts from our June 2022 Studio Journal

We’re very pleased to let you know that we will be having a very splendid Seconds and Samples sale on Saturday 25th June 2022 at Persistence Works Gallery, Brown Street, Sheffield. 11-5 (or until pots sell out!). We will also be joined by fellow potter, Carla Murdoch, who is bringing along some studio seconds too.
