This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading This butterfly postcard was the colour and shading I’d been aiming for with the glaze on this jug I made at wonderful @thefarnhampottery 
I’m glossing over the somewhat ‘solid’ base of this - over an inch!! My previous attempts had all ended up in the bucket because I’d been far too cavalier trying to bring up clay from the bottom. So this one was overly cautious. But at least it didn’t topple like the others.
Learning to throw at the wheel was so challenging and physically demanding but also such a mental reset. Thanks to our teacher Serenity who more than lived up to her name - particularly when dealing with my many cries for help 🤣 
Now I want to learn more…. Why did the wax resist on the jug on image 2 go so brown? Why do I always end up making cylinders or jugs even when I set out to make a wide dish? And why didn’t I use some more colourful glazes? I want to try it all again.
That’s the thing about pottery - it draws you in and makes you want to do more.

7 sustainable clothing essentials you’ll love forever

7 sustainable clothing essentials to take you anywhere, in all seasons and that you’ll love to wear forever

Brilliant craftsmanship, flawless attention to detail and a resolute commitment to slow fashion is the philisophy behind h.huna.

Established in 2019 by Siobhan Shanley, h.huna is a sustainable clothing brand that is dedicated to timeless designs made from quality fabrics that will last you a lifetime. Inspired by her grandmother’s handmade wardrobe, and rejecting the toxic world of fast fashion, Siobhan has created a beautiful capsule collection of elegant designs, sustainably sourced using UK mills and makers.

The collection is available to buy from Löfte – a new online fashion destination for luxury sustainable brands

More about h.huna sustainable clothing

In Siobhan’s own words…

“I decided to take a side step to create a capsule collection for women who treasure craftsmanship, impeccable detail, and prefer to own things for life. And wishing to represent the talent of the manufacturers close to home, h.huna started the ball rolling by working primarily with UK and Scottish factories. A slow process that involves several trips and multiple cups of tea.

h.huna

“Each piece is designed with a visible story to capture the timeless simplicity with a contemporary edge, be it a high rise waist with a masculine twist inspired by Marlene Dietrich, a seam free knit to create comfort and lessen yarn waste or a deadstock fabric to minimise landfill. h.huna strives to bring an awakening to slow fashion, sustainable clothing production and faith in a garment’s purpose to help you to identify with your individual character and to be at one with your wardrobe pieces”.
