I recently received an incredible gift from @Audrey Burm & I have scheduled the unboxing for 8pm today, UK time I am so excited to share it with you all. Thank you so much Audrey for your incredible gift 🎁 💝💖🩷

We are shifting things a little so it is easier for our ocean crew to join us this time. The call will now happen between Saturday and Sunday at a new time that should hopefully feel a lot more relaxed for everyone on that side of the world. Have a quick look in your calendar, it should already show the correct time for you wherever you are.📆 Also a small apology for last Friday, I basically did a five minute cameo and disappeared again. This time I am planning to actually stay and hang out 😄 Really looking forward to seeing you all there!

I just want to share the fanciest trashcan aka waste paper basket in my possession. 🤪

I’m really curious about this one because my answer has completely flipped recently… After being away from the studio for a while, I’m honestly just loving every single minute I get in there right now. Yesterday I finished teaching a throwing workshop… and instead of cleaning up straight away, I thought “well, the wheel’s already messy…” — so I jumped on and had a couple hours of throwing myself. And wow… it just flowed. Everything felt more consistent, more natural… and I had SO much fun. It reminded me exactly why I love this. Today? Slightly different story 😅After a couple of hours trimming hedges, I’m heading back into the studio — but it’s handling multiple mugs, big buckets of mucky reclaim, and a full clean-up session… Normally I would dread this kind of day. Reclaim that’s been sitting for months (yes… it’s going to be stinky 😂), buckets everywhere, and a proper mop-down needed. But honestly? I’m still really looking forward to it. I think because I’ve finally got systems and little “hacks” in place for reclaim, it actually feels… satisfying now? Plus Mug handling is never as bad once I get into the flow...usually 🤣 If I had to pick, trimming and refining is probably still my favourite — but really, it’s the variety and experimentation that keeps me hooked. So now I’d love to know… 👉 What’s your favourite part of studio life?👉 And what’s the job you tend to put off the most? (No judgement — we all have one! 😄)

I made a ceramic house sculpture, inspired by a cardboard house made by the creative at NerdForge. This house took 63 lbs of clay, and final glazing yielded a height of 32 inches. It is installed in our front yard, with solar lights that show through windows and doors. It took me weeks to make, each roof tile was made individually.
