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.

  • Hello. I’m Olga Prinku, designer and maker behind flowers on tulle. My background is in graphic design, but I’ve always loved making. My journey started with learning how to crochet and knit and the wool products you might have purchased in the past here.

    Gradually through various experiments and social media platforms like Instagram my path diverged to flowers and botanical art. I came to develop a floral embroidery technique using real organic material as my thread which I now have embraced fully and will continue to explore and improve as well as learn.
