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.

If, like me, you’re never happier than when you’re If, like me, you’re never happier than when you’re messing about in overalls or workwear, I’m thinking you might also enjoy an apron dress. I’ve shared how I made this one using roll end fabric and a great pattern by @dolly_clothing

  • Discover Comfort Workshop, a Nottinghamshire-based manufacturer specialising in premium, handcrafted riser recliners and specialist seating. This local, family-run business uses precise British engineering to build individually fitted, bespoke mobility furniture, combining essential orthopaedic support with high-quality fabrics to deliver long-lasting comfort and independence at home.

    Comfort Workshop is a small, family-run British manufacturer of riser recliners and specialist seating. The company makes and individually fit their chairs around each person’s size, posture and mobility needs, helping provide lasting comfort, support and independence. Our seating is OT-approved and backed by a 25-year frame guarantee and 5-year mechanism and handset guarantee. We also offer free home consultations, white-glove delivery and appointment-only showroom visits in Nottinghamshire.

    We are a father-and-son business, founded by David and James Carter, with a shared belief that comfort, dignity and independence should never feel out of reach.

    David has spent more than 50 years designing furniture, while James brings experience in digital design, CAD and CNC manufacturing. Together, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern precision to create chairs that are made with care, purpose and attention to detail.

    But for us, it’s about more than furniture. It is about family, community and the values that have guided our own lives: compassion, respect and trust. Every person we meet is treated with patience and understanding, whether they are choosing a chair for themselves or helping someone they love.

    We know that a riser recliner can be an important decision. It can bring comfort, reassurance and greater independence at home. That is why we take the time to listen, offer honest guidance and help each family find the right option without pressure.
