Long Time No See + New Ceramic Thingies

Hello old friends… It’s been a while I know, but I’ve decided to start posting again.  My ceramics course coming to an end mid summer was a bit of a blow. I was at a bit of a loss to know how to move forward. Then I came across talented ceramics sculptor, Annie Flitcross and we became friends.  I am now working out of her studio once a week, exploring the craft, learning new techniques etc. The best thing about working with other creatives in a dedicated space is the ability to be able to explore new techniques and styles. This means I can try new methods, new glazing techniques etc, and ultimately, bigger builds.. Here is a selection of some recent work. All available in my Art and Ceramics Boutique. Lorrie x More postings coming soon. 🙂

My New Ceramic Shop

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 start selling my ceramics pieces in my own art shop, now revamped and given a make-over. I will still be selling OOK pieces of original art there as well. 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 Art and Ceramics Boutique

Some have been bisqued and ready for a glaze and final firing, and others ready for a bisque firing.

Orla’s Great Birthday Pottery Party

Orla's Party

  I don’t often talk about my family or my private life on my blog, as you know.  But, this weekend marked a very special occasion for me and one I feel I wanted to mark here, it was my daughter Orla’s 11th birthday. Those of you whom I know in real life,  know that my girl is the centre of mine and Luke’s universe. She is literally, the beat of my heart.

Ceramic Course – Weeks 10 to 21

Slip Cast 4

Rather than posting one item each week outlining in detail what I have been doing at my ceramics class, I decided to do a sort of big catch up. Much of the reason is, that after the slip casting class, it was less about learning new techniques and processes, and more about building and consolidating what we have learned thus far.  So, here is a photographic catch up of what I have been doing in the last ten weeks.
