I’ve just set up a Just Giving page and joined @artistsmakersfundraisingformap A group of big hearted creatives wanting to add their voices against the atrocities that are taking place and raising much needed funds for Medical Aid Palestine.
Each donation of £5 to @medicalaidpal through my Just Giving page (link in bio) will pop your name into the hat and you could be in for a chance to win this blackbird bowl. Scroll for image.
OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS ONLY until 1st July ‘25.
The winner will be drawn from the hat on 2nd July and notified by email.
Please leave your contact details with your donation and unfortunately no donation can be a gifted aid.
Thank you so much for your support …. every donation big and small will be gratefully received by the charity.

A couple of grumpy owls in progress for the start of the week… #mugshotmonday #slipware #wip #slipwarepottery #mug #handmade #handpainted #inspiredbynature #owl

A flower brick and bonkers vase waiting for their dip in the glaze bucket. Pottery is mainly about patience! #flowerbrick #vase #handmade #slipware #slipwarepottery #madeinpembrokeshire #madeinwales #handoainted #cobaltoxide #inspiredbybirds #inspiredbynature

Drying off on top of the cooling kiln… Trying to organise an online shop update soon… chasing my tail as ever! #mug #jug #slipware #slipwarepottery #owl #handmade #handpainted #sgraffito #madeinpembrokeshire #madeinwales #adriftpottery #illustratedceramics #inspiredbynature #heron #wip

Drawing a thrush… I use a pencil to sgraffito when the slip is at that perfect stage… it cuts through to reveal the red clay body. When it gets too dry it can chip off. #thrush #slipware #slipwarepottery #inspiredbybirds #inspiredbynature #wip #dish #madeinpembrokeshire #madeinwales #adriftpottery

Queuing up for a glaze firing… I decided to make a new glaze batch as the last one was more matte even though I used my old trusty recipe! Always interesting how these things go… a bit like making a cake! #bisque #bowl #handmade #inspiredbynature #inspiredbybirds #owl #bullfinch #blackbird #madeinpembrokeshire #madeinwales #adriftpottery

This blackbird dish is available today @brechfafarm.pembrokeshire … Open Studio with complimentary great coffee and cakes made by @_the_french_shed_ . #madeinpembrokeshire #madeinwales #adriftpottery #slipwarepotter #slipwarepottery #inspiredbynature #dish #inspiredbybirds

Starling bowl amongst friends here at @brechfafarm.pembrokeshire
If you are in Pembrokeshire or the local area I’d recommend popping into this lovely place … Open Studios today and tomorrow 11-5.

These two small dishes will be making their way to @brechfafarm.pembrokeshire Open Studio weekend on tomorrow and Sunday. I’ve just made a new glaze batch, same old recipe but it’s different to my usual… a bit more matte and the clay not as toasty looking. I may have to live with it and learn to like it… just not sure now. I’ll see how it goes. #slipware #handmade #madeinwales #madeinpembrokeshire #adriftpottery #inspiredbynature #dog #handpainted
