25.01.2022 Many know that I have been teaching ceramic classes for about 30 years which involved painting designs on moulded pieces but now I’m trying something a bit different and hand building pieces from scratch and glazing them. I guess Covid gave me a little more time and I really enjoyed creating things from a lump of earth in to something beautiful and practical, so much more satisfying. I love the idea that each piece is unique and a bit rustic (actually some are very rustic lol) I had planned to have a stall at the quilt and craft fair in November but they have had to cancel it so I thought I would show and maybe sell them here on Facebook.. This serving dish has little feet and a beautiful mandala pattern. The glaze is called Smoky Merlot and I think it looks exactly like that. $60

23.01.2022 Local Handmade stoneware platter by Urban Earth Pottery. Moroccan design. The first picture is true to colour. Measures 34cm. $60

08.01.2022 I love the colours of this one-off rustic bowl, and I especially love the texture on the outside. Texture makes things much more interesting to feel and look at. For sale $36

06.01.2022 This pretty serving plate has a texured pattern from an old wooden block stamp from India which I found on one of my travels (not to India though) lol. It’s made with stoneware clay and glazed with ‘blue lagoon’ Measures about 28cm.. For sale $46

05.01.2022 I have to say, I totally agree with this. As I sat in a cafe drinking my coffee and eating my sandwich 2 paramedics (who were obviously taking a chance to grab ...A quick bite between jobs) came in and joined the queue waiting to get their breakfast and cuppa. Just as they got to the till they got a message on the radio. They had to go at once. They both laughed and said "that always happens to us!" Then they both rushed out to help someone. Paramedics have one of the most important jobs in the world. Everyone else in the queue was just after a quick snack and a drink whilst shopping etc. Why don't we all we use this social media to get people (and companies) to allow paramedics and all other emergency services to jump the queue and get served as soon as they come in? That way they have a better chance of getting a drink and perhaps some food before they go on their day helping people. Can all my friends and their friends please share this post so it can reach other people who might give up their place in the queue to emergency service workers? I would always happily stand back and let them go in front of me after all their next job could be me or someone I know or I love. If you agree then say so here then 'like' and perhaps share this if you care. Thank you.
