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

Flowers, bees, butterflies and a shed for all seasons… My absolute favourite dahlias came from a packet of seeds sent by Erin of @floretflower along with a review copy of her beautiful book.

  • Toxin-free home fragrance drops, natural botanical skincare bars, and premium eau de parfums form the main collection of London-based brand Homework. Founded by designer Stephanie Hannington-Suen, the studio utilises the seasonal principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to hand-blend small-batch essential oils. These earth-friendly, minimally packaged wellness wares deliver balanced sensory experiences designed perfectly for discerning contemporary craft collectors.

    Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine and the healing power of nature, we produce our own line of natural skincare and toxin-free home fragrances.

    Living in a fast-paced world, we think it is important to remember to make time for yourself. We strongly believe that we can live in a way that is not only better for ourselves but better for our planet.

    All of our products are handmade in small batches in our East London workshop. Our packaging is recyclable and biodegradable. The products we make are inspired by our experiences together. Made using only natural or toxin free ingredients and minimally packaged in eco-friendly materials.

    Our candles are hand poured into steel tins manufactured in London using solar power and which can be infinitely recycled. We wrap our soap bars in 100% recycled card.

    Our goal is to be part of the shop slow movement and to make thoughtful approaches when buying. We carefully curate pieces from other local and international independent makers and choose well-made products that are sustainable, timeless and designed to last.

    With this in mind, we also source old preowned lifestyle goods, showing that recycling and reusing can be on trend.
