A few people have asked me over the last few months if I was going to sell any of my ceramic work, so I decided finally to open a little shop on Folksy to sell some of my best pieces. At the moment I am selling mostly within the UK and Europe. I am happy to sell overseas, but if you want to buy something, please message me so I can calculate the postage. Here are a few of my better pieces, and if you are interested in buying, then head over to my new Ceramics Shop on Folksy

So, this is a massively belated post I know, as my last class was now a couple of week ago, but given it’s Christmas, one can be forgiven as it’s a busy time. I decided to condense the last three classes of my course into one post because I was essentially just working on the one pot, which is the coil pot I featured in my last ceramic related post. How can that be you ask? Well, that’s the thing, pottery and ceramics isn’t about speed and quick results, everything takes time.
