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.

Eeyore is my favourite from Claire’s Winnie the Pooh collection because he’s ever so slightly saggy around the edges and in need of love… If you’re looking for your next knitting or craft project he is easy to make and sure to be loved by whoever you decide to make him for. Good luck and happy knitting! X

Save 15% on Eas Fors knitwear

I am so thrilled to welcome Eas Fors to the From Britain with Love directory and to share a unique 15% discount code with you.

Eas Fors is a new design-led knitwear brand based on the remote Scottish Isle of Mull. Reflecting the wild beauty of the Hebridean islands, pieces are thoughtfully made on a small scale using all-natural ethically sourced wool fibres.

Because they produce in small batches, stock levels tend to be low, so the advice is to use the out of stock notification option on the product page as they will often knit based on these requests and also restock often. I’ve picked out a couple of my own particular favourites, but there’s plenty more to browse in the online shop, including hats, shawls, scarves and homeware.

To save 15% at Eas Fors, enter code FROMBRITAIN at checkout, or follow this link: https://easfors.com/discount/FROMBRITAIN (which will automatically apply the code for you).

Feàrna Shawl

Eas Fors Fearna shawl made on the isle of mull with cruelty free and mulesing free natural lambswool in dulse. Save 15% with our unique reader discount code

My own favourite is this stunning Feàrna Shawl in the Dulse colourway. Taking inspiration from forms found within the local Scottish woodlands, the recurring texture is reminiscent of alder catkin, acorn or pine cone, creating pockets within the fabric. As well as offering a textural interest and beauty, these pockets will keep you warm whilst feeling light against the skin. Hand-knitted in luxury grade 100% superfine lambswool in the remote Eas Fors studio on the island, this is really something special. I love the deep and rich rich seaweed-inspired colour. Just lovely.

Wave Scarf in Rust

Eas Fors wave scarf in Rust, made on the isle of mull with cruelty free and mulesing free natural lambswool in dulse. Save 15% with our unique reader discount code

Crafted in double jacquard and also hand made on the Isle of Mull, the motif of this super cosy scarf is inspired by the lapping waves of the sea. I adore the dried bracken-like rusty colour and it’s perfect for layering on cold or unpredictable days. Another hard-working beauty.

Ethically made with cruelty-free lambswool

eas fors sustainable lambswool knitwear hand made on the isle of mull

Not all lambswool is the same. So it’s reassuring to know that the luxury grade lambswool used to create the Eas Fors collection is sustainably sourced, cruelty and mulesing free and spun on the banks of Loch Leven.

It’s worth noting, too, that Eas Fors contribute a percentage of each sale towards tree planting through the Eden Reforestation Projects.

I am so happy to welcome Eas Fors to the From Britain with Love directory and hope you enjoy discovering their beautiful collection as much as I did. Don’t forget, as a FBWL reader you can save 15% by entering discount code FROMBRITAIN at checkout or by following this link https://easfors.com/discount/FROMBRITAIN  (which will automatically apply the code for you).
