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.

Japanese style linen pinafore aprons

Discover linen pinafore aprons by Swedish House at Home

I first came across Michaela and her gift and homeware business Swedish House at Home at a local craft fair a few years ago. I came away from that market stall with a beautiful linen pinafore apron with cross back. It really is one of my favourite things. I wear it when I’m pottering in the garden or attending a creative workshop for the blog. Happy times. And if I had a pound for every time someone asked me where I bought my apron I’d have quite a few pounds in my pocket. Worth mentioning, perhaps, that the apron pockets are good and roomy!

Michaela has curated a truly beautiful collection of gifts and home goods that are thoughtfully made either by UK craftspeople or in Sweden (where Michaela spent her childhood). As well as linen pinafore aprons like mine (available in a range of colours), discover ceramics, jute bags, natural toiletries, wooden candle holders and more.
