A whole family of these geology plates. I feel some explosions coming my way. Sometimes clay bodies don’t mix well, these are about as mixed as I’ve tried - about 8 different clays. I can’t see it ending well...

What’s underneath is just as important as what is on the surface. These plates have been made with a mix of clay used over the last year, sustainable and beautiful. We have a pretty epic studio floor too.

You know it hot when your glaze drips off. London - I love you - but this is really just a little too much. These jugs however can never be enough.

The new shop will be in the heart of Windermere. A couple of months ago it was a dusty old coal cellar. It took quite some jet washing to clean it up.

The biggest bowl yet. I need to learn to throw with bigger bits of clay. Centring large amount of clay seems almost impossible. Any tips?

Shelfie from just before Christmas. It’s taking me a while to get back to the studio. I am actually a full time consultant, so getting time to enjoy this place is tough. Fortunately I will be flexible working going forward. So studio time, here I come!

This year is my year of health and well-being. I am taking steps to improve both my physical and mental self. I know the long term gain will be significant. But boy is it tough to stay motivated.

Love this photo of the @turning.earth sale featured on @ceramicreview in which I sneak into the right hand side! It was such a great day be selling alongside @catsantosceramics and @pottedben. I was lucky enough to take one of these fabulous plants hanging from the ceiling home after the sale and it reminds me each day of my last TE sale. The end of an era for me, and beginning of a new exciting journey for @turning.earth. Bravo!
