I’m writing this from our seaside holiday in Suffolk. Days on the beach, walking to the harbour, eating too much ice cream, taking photos of our pots in front of flint walls or on the sand dunes!

For the past eight weeks or so we have been working towards a new body of work to add to our online shop and bring to our Summer exhibitions. Part 1, Flowers and Tea, will be available for sale on our website on Thursday 25th June at 19:00 UK time. The collection differs slightly to our usual standard ware ranges in this these are one-offs, experimental pieces or special editions and each one of these pieces has been reduction fired in a gas kiln.

Firstly, the making has been focussed towards filling the large gas kiln at the Yorkshire Artspace, which we will be firing next month. We’ve been working on firm favourites such as our Autumnus Bowls (pictured above), mugs, vases, large bowls. We still have a way to go in terms of making and glazing, with items on the list such as one-off teapots, oil burners and beakers.
