The maker

My story

It began with one evening class, and a bowl that was mostly a wobble.

These days I work from a converted cowshed with a lot of shelves and a very old cat.

How it’s made

A potter in a striped top shaping a bowl

Thrown

Every piece starts on the wheel, using clay from a Devon pit.

Hands centring a clay cup on a turning wheel

Fired

It’s fired twice, and the kiln takes a full day to cool.

Finished

Checked, wrapped in recycled paper and posted to your door.

Kind words

My favourite mug. I’ve had to buy another so that my husband stops using mine.

Anna, Bristol

It arrived so beautifully wrapped that I almost didn’t open it.

Joe, Leeds

I bought one for my mum, and now all her friends want one.
