Spring is in the air

The sun is peeking from the clouds, the flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and the days are brighter. Spring is on it's way and I'm preparing new items for spring/summer from ceramics to apparel. Watch this space for what I am making in the studio and check back on my blog to see my exciting designs. 

In the mean time I thought I would show off my Jugs :) Don't they look lovely filled with flowers? I think these would make any mum happy this Mother's Day.

Illustrations on Ceramics

Having been inspired from a trip down to Brighton, I took photos and I have been sketching in my sketch book. Since then I have been working on putting these images together to create some interesting designs inspired by Brighton and an old retro tattoo style. 

This week, I have been experimenting with ceramics, drawing my illustrations on to earthenware and hand decorating. The items are now in the kiln being fired. Here are the pictures so far of the progress :)

If anyone is interested in these limited edition pieces then please get in touch.

Summer is here

Finally the Summer is here. Hip hip hooray the sun is out for us all to enjoy. Time to get inspired by ice cream, flowers blooming and birds singing in song. Spending a day in the garden getting some ideas together for my upcoming designs and prints. Could I resist a little sunbathing at the same time :)
