November has been a month of slightly unhinged making, of playing shopkeepers in our workshop and celebrating the fact that our studio now has some form of heating.

Throughout November and December we are opening our workshop doors to the public, which feels at once terrifying and exciting. I love having guests in the studio, especially when we’ve had time to tidy up and make everything look beautiful. Think beautiful pots, homewares, lots of greenery and perhaps a glass or two of something mulled.

When I put together our monthly studio journals it is almost impossible to not begin with the weather. Is it because I’m British and we live in a constantly shifting climate? Or perhaps it is because our new workshop doesn’t yet have heating installed and so we are feeling the onset of autumn a little more keenly than before…. Whatever the reason, I feel it is my duty to comment upon the most exquisite colours of the falling leaves this month, and also to say that yes, beeswax candles have been extremely popular, in fact we’ve almost sold out! A new delivery from Moorlands is imminent.
