There's been lots of creativity in the studio lately including making new pieces, slip tests and glaze tests, new clays and new colours. Check it out!
I thought I’d film myself adding some detail to a new vase I made. In my ceramics I like to work on small scale adding intricacies throughout my designs. This vase is made in a special black clay that I’m currently experimenting with, the texture isn’t what I’m used to but I can’t wait to get some gorgeous blue floating glaze on the black clay! 💙

I absolutely ❤️❤️❤️ the results of my fabulous bronze gold glaze on red clay! 😍
Packaging up the bisque kiln with 4 different types of clays, no idea what colour they will turn out...how exciting!
The day I set the kiln to fire was absolutely boiling, I think it was our last day of summer here in the UK haha! Definitely a bit hot to fire the kiln but oh well! 🔥
Colour tests for different materials on different clay types! Lots of testing going on at the mo, we shall see how they turn out 🤞🏻
After about literally 50 different colour tests for a very specific shade of blue for a commission I finally got the right shade, horah!
The first image is just the first batch of colour tests, I did 4 more pots after that, the perfect blue is the middle tile from the 3 blue tiles, these were my last tests so thankfully the kiln gods worked in my favour!
New glaze combo that I created, I’m super pleased with the results!!! 😄
I’ve been doing a lot of glaze tests at the moment and this little beauty came out of the kiln the other day ❤️ I say it a lot but glazing really is one of my favourite parts of ceramics, shop brought will simply just not do... handmade glazes to adorn the handmade ceramics all the way! ❤
The photos showcase only 2 glazes selected from the tests, this video shows the glaze samples fresh out of the kiln
