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.

  • Discover Gold Earth, an award-winning Wiltshire-based producer specialising in small-batch botanical hair, skin, and body oils. Hand-blended using natural plant extracts, these premium wellness treatments offer an exceptional sustainable beauty routine crafted entirely within the UK.

    Founded by Samina Khan-Sharma and winner of two prestigious awards: Vegan Beauty Award and  Nourish Award 2026.

    Samina’s story

    Samina Khan-Sharma founder of Gold Earth botanical hair, skin and body oils handmade in small batches in Wiltshire

    Gold Earth began with Samina’s own hair loss — and a family recipe she had almost forgotten – 29 oils, herbs and spices, blended slowly by hand.

    As a hairdresser and beautician, Samina had spent years with men and women struggling with hair loss and skin problems — brought on by stress, by hormonal changes, by life being unpredictable. But nothing prepared her for her own battle with severe hair loss after a health crisis. It was more than just about losing hair. It felt like losing a part of herself.

    She’d tried everything — doctor’s treatments, expensive products — and nothing worked. The hard water and the weather only made it worse, leaving her hair brittle, her scalp dry and her skin in distress. 

    Samina made the first botanical hair oil for herself, changing the recipe until it worked. What had started as one blend for herself soon became bottles for her children, then neighbours, then markets in the Cotswolds. From there, Samina’s hand-made oils grew into an award-winning house of botanical oils, still handmade in Wiltshire.

    A Vegan Beauty Award has followed since, with finalist places for Female Entrepreneur of the Year and Best New Business at the 2026 UK Small Business Awards.
