Vases – Hand built vases fired to stoneware.
Storm5: Stoneware vase approx 40 cm tall. This is a coiled pot that was painted with porcelain slip before bisque firing. The slip is coloured with metal oxides or stains. After bisque it was glazed in matte base glazes coloured with more oxides and stains. This process was repeated over 3 glaze firings.

Lidded Pots – These vary in size up to about 9 cm diameter and are made from white stoneware clay fired to 1260 degrees Celsius which makes them very strong. The rim is unglazed as they are fired with the lid on to prevent warping. Various colours and sizes are available and I can also make to order. Perfect for keepsakes, ring boxes and other nice things!
MUGS – I have various styles available, see the online shop for current stock. Happy to do a limited run as a commission of up to 6 mugs, bowls etc.
