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.

  • Skin Elixir is a Nottingham-based artisan specialising in premium, handcrafted natural vegan skincare. The studio utilizes therapeutic botanical ingredients and waterless production methods to formulate high-performance topical treatments, delivering nutrient-dense facial oils and creams designed for beauty conscious consumers seeking radiant skin health and mindful self-regulation rituals.
     

    Made by hand in small batches in West Bridgford. 

    You can trust Skin Elixir to soothe, smooth, reduce fine lines, even skin tone and dramatically improve skin condition.

    Our story

    I started to develop Skin Elixir in 2016, after years of searching for skincare that was not only ethical, but also effective for my skin’s needs.

    I was self-conscious about dryness and flaky patches on my face. Make-up and concealer only seemed to worsen the problem areas. I wanted to improve the health of my skin and feel better about myself.

    Day and night application of the Skin Elixir moisturiser has helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to share that confidence with others.

    Made by hand in small batches, my mission is to bring kindness to your skin and to give you the best in handmade, organic skincare products. Skin Elixir soothes, smooths, reduces fine lines, and evens skin tone. It can also help address rosacea, eczema and acne. Skin Elixir has a discerning customer base who believe in the principles of the brand and the effectiveness of the products.

    Skin Elixir is multi-tasking, luxurious and affordable skincare, founded on ethical principles –  the goodness our skin deserves.

    Introducing the Skin Elixir Intensive Night Cream

    “Luxurious product that’s simple to apply and produces visible improvements quickly”

    Introducing the NEW Skin Elixir Intensive Night Cream. Its light, silky texture is dreamy and its scent subtly grounding, calming and comforting, the perfect bedtime treat for the skin and senses.  Packed with 12 skin boosting, 100% natural, organic, vegan ingredients including Bakuchiol, it works to rejuvenate the skin overnight. Designed for peri menopausal and menopausal skin it’s cooling to the face and instantly brings calm to hot flashes. For those who prefer the softness of a delicate cream over an oil at night, the Intensive Night Cream is for you. Of course, for those who love to wear both, then layer the cream over the Magnificent Night Oil.

    In contrast to the richer consistency of the Organic Frankincense & May Chang Moisturiser, the Intensive Night Cream is lustrously soft. Truly complementary, they pair beautifully. The moisturiser gives you that surge of moisture to wake the face in the morning whatever the season, whilst the Intensive Night Cream gives you a bounty of nutrients overnight.
