I’m getting on with all the photographing and me

I’m getting on with all the photographing and measuring of all my pots ready to get my Etsy shop up and running at the end of the week. I will have a few of these new little footed plant pots in the shop (sadly can’t send with the plant though!!!!) #lovewinchester #hampshirepottery #plantsofinstagram #instapottery

These little vases, and more in other colours and designs will soon be available in my new Etsy shop - lots of work going on behind the scenes this week to get a good selection of items listed! I hope to have the shop live by the end of the week and will post the link on Instagram and Facebook #hampshirebusiness #lovewinchester #instapottery

I did it!!! After loads of trials, I have now made myself a new mug which ticks all the boxes! Half pint capacity ✅ Feels great to hold in your hand ✅ Good to drink out of ✅ Keeps the drink hot ✅ Makes me happy ✅ I have been making more and hope to have my Etsy shop up and running very soon and will be able to put some up for sale! #mugshotmonday #happypotter #hampshirebusiness

Still trying to figure out what the government announcement today means for my little business. It seems to be looking like a bit more of a wait until I can start doing baby prints again. In the mean time, I will continue working away in my shed making new stock, take joy in sunsets like this one at @titchfieldhaven yesterday and keep doing the DIY pottery kits!!! #hampshirebusiness #hampshirepottery

Hello & happy Friday! I’ve been a bit quiet here

Hello & happy Friday! I’ve been a bit quiet here on social media but have been busy behind the scenes with DIY pottery kits, making new stock and trying to figure out what shape my little business needs to mould into to cope with the new ways of working that we are all trying to adjust to! With help from my children, I’ve had a go at creating a stop go animation - it’s a bit rough around the edges but does show off some of my new work! I feel really happy with these new pieces and a wider range of colours!! The patterns have been very much inspired by #visiblemending If there is anything that you like the look of for a gift or treat, please do let me know. At some point soon, I will try and get my work loaded up onto Etsy - another job to do!!!! Wishing you an enjoyable weekend xx #lovewinchester #hampshirebusiness #instapottery

A big thank you for all the orders for DIY fingerp

A big thank you for all the orders for DIY fingerprint pottery kits! Your response has been brilliant. I have delivered my first batch of kits to Winchester today and I have some #Eastleigh, #Bishopstoke & #ChandlersFord deliveries to do tomorrow. You have some great ideas for fingerprint art and I’m looking forward to creating some new creatures for you. There have been some lovely requests, so I hope to have some new things to show you very soon! Thank you also for you patience while I get used to this new way of working. I’m beginning to work on some kits for DIY baby footprints on tiles, plates and hanging hearts & stars and hope to have these ready later in June. I only have a limited number of glaze paints for kits at the moment, so please do bear with me while I get myself up and running as there may be a little wait for a kit #lovewinchester #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness

I think it’s fair to say I’ve been having a bi

I think it’s fair to say I’ve been having a bit of a wobble this weekend!!!! One of the parts of my pottery business that I really love is meeting families and creating pottery keepsakes with them. Sadly, it looks like it will continue to be sometime before we can meet again, so I have been trying to put some DIY kits together. This is where I have wobbled! Meeting people and creating something lovely together comes naturally but trying to write it all down doesn’t!!!! I’ve properly tied myself up in knots and ended up sending out kit information that didn’t actually say what I meant!!!! To those of you who have made enquiries, thank you for your patience when receiving several messages from me instead of one, and also for your kind replies 💜 Anyway, to cut a long and wobbly story short, I can now offer DIY fingerprint kits for tall & short mugs, 20cm plates and coaster sized tiles. You just need to do the prints with your little people and I will do the rest. The price of the items are as they are usually and you can either collect the kits from my home in Colden Common or I can deliver them to you in the Winchester/Eastleigh area. For delivery, the minimum order value is £20, so if you order a mug for £18, there would be a £2 top up fee to make £20. Please let me know if you would like me to email details to you. I will be making my first deliveries on Tuesday afternoon xx #lovewinchester #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness

DIY pottery painting kits are here!!!!! Thank you

DIY pottery painting kits are here!!!!! Thank you so much for your brilliant response yesterday - it looks like there are lots of you that would like a kit, which is amazing. I have now put some details together, so if you are interested I can e-mail them to you if you would like to message me your e-mail address. I hope to do my first delivery run to Winchester on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you so much for supporting this little business xx #lovewinchester #hampshirebusiness #hampshirepottery #shoplocal

DIY KITS: Would you like one???????⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

DIY KITS: Would you like one???????⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As it looks like it will be some time before I can offer face-to- face baby print appointments again, I was wondering if there is any interest for DIY Pottery Painting kits? Mugs like the ones in the picture just need fingerprints from your little people and I can do the rest: i.e. turn the prints into creatures, add the text and then glaze and fire the pottery. This type of design works really well for grandparent gifts and also for Father's Day. I could deliver the kits to you in the Winchester/Eastleigh area or you could collect them from Colden Common. The same would work for the return of kits for firing and for collection of the finished items. I also have shorter mugs, and other items such as coasters, plates etc. I would be really interested to see if there is interest for this service. You could also just paint the item in your own design! Would be great to hear your thoughts xx #lovewinchester #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness

I've loved the analogy that I've seen on social me

I've loved the analogy that I've seen on social media regarding the covid-19 pandemic saying that we're all on the same ocean but not in the same boat. I think that's so true: the current situation has been, and is, dire for so many people in so many different ways. We're lucky that we've stayed safe and well so far and have a garden where we've been able to enjoy the bonus sunshine. I'm also lucky that I have my workshop at home which has meant that I've been able to make pots - I just need to work out how to sell them now! The photo shows a collection of some of the smaller pots from my latest firing – some are destined to be homes for cacti and succulents and some have little cork lids for storage of treasures. I've never sold online before, but it's something I now need to start looking into - any advice would be much appreciated!! Sadly though, I have had to put my pottery classes and baby print work on hold and I'm not sure when I will be able to get these up and running again, as they really don't work alongside social distancing!! I'm currently looking into creating some DIY kits and will share more news soon! #lovewinchester #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness

Trying out one of my new mugs whilst carving some

Trying out one of my new mugs whilst carving some plates. My ‘mug journey’ has been going on for a long time now and I have still yet to perfect the size and the rim! I think we all have a favourite mug and maybe favourite mugs for different types of drinks!? I’m on a quest to make a new favourite mug. This particular mug ticks the boxes for good handle, nice to hold, keeps the coffee hot and is pleasing to the eye! However, in my opinion although it’s a good size for coffee, it doesn’t hold enough tea!!!! Also, the rim was thicker to drink out of than I thought it would be! So fussy!!!! However, when you do enjoy a beverage from a favourite mug, particularly if it’s a handmade one, please do spare a thought for all the time it might have taken the potter to design and make that mug so it’s just right!!!!! Happy Friday to you all xx

Before and after! When dipped in clear glaze, the pots are white and dusty - very different to afterwards!! Gertie the kiln did a fab job and I’ve had lots of treasures to unload. I’ll share photos of some of the finished items soon #happypotter #kilngods #hampshirepottery #lovewinchester

Do hope it won't be too long before I can make some more of these. I'm enjoying having time to make my own work and experiment with different ideas, but I'm really missing all you parents and babies! #lovewinchester #hampsirebusiness

Thank you so much for all your great feedback abou

Thank you so much for all your great feedback about the bright v pastel plates! Really lovely to hear from you all. The bright plates seemed to get a good reaction, although love was shown for the pastel ones too! Looks like there should be a place for both! These photos show a little group of vases in various stages of progress. I'll show you the finished items soon. I’ve painted these with the pastel slips, but am thinking I will have to make a few brightly coloured ones too! #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness #lovewinchester

More new plates but in my usual pastel shades rather than the bright ones I posted yesterday - which colours would you choose: bright or pastel? #hampshirepottery #scraffito #instapottery #boroinspired #sashiko #malicloth #visiblemending

My new finished bright plates: certainly a different colour scheme to what I have made before, but I'm definitely liking it! #hampshirepottery #scraffito #instapottery #boroinspired #sashiko #malicloth

A while ago a posted a little clip of rolling my new lace into clay. Here are some of the finished platters. Which colour do you like? There is division in our household so I would welcome any feedback please! #hampshirepottery #hampshirebusiness #lovewinchester
