Pop in and see my newest 'Tumblestones' and other ceramic sculpture. I've also grown my 'Shibui' porcelain jewellery range. Special gift ideas for folk who love coast, sea, geology.

Fresh from the kiln - some tiny porcelain pieces soon to become stud earrings. LONG POST ALERT!! Last year I'd planned to wind down the jewellery side of my ceramics practice in order to concentrate on sculptural work. Studio time was/is more limited since starting a new job and wishing to focus on more experimental pieces... Well since 'giving up the jewellery' I've found a new love for making it... I feel more playful and creative with it. Working small I can try out new ideas without wasting too much time/resources if things don't work out and my mini experiments are feeding ideas that may percolate through into my sculptural work. So whilst lovely customers continue to enjoy wearing pieces, I plan to continue to enjoy making them 😁 Have you given up on an idea and then had a turnaround? Or vice versa stopped a part of your practice to positive effect?
