Adele Brydges

Adele Brydges Intimate objects and experiences for discerning pleasure seekers My passion for pleasure and porcelain has lead me on a wild, wonderful and unconventional path.

I studied a BA Hons in Ceramic Design but little did I know back then that my fascination with clay and sensuality would be start a long term love affair… After graduating in 2006 I began creating pleasure tools that celebrate sex, sensuality and connection and aim to challenge the way that we view masturbation, pleasure and sex toys. I founded my workshops in 2017 to enable others to bring creativity, craft and a sense of fun to their pleasure practices with personalised porcelain pleasure tools; our capacity for pleasure expands when we combine it with intention, connection and our own creative juice! My workhops and pieces have been featured in Crafts Magazine, Marie Claire, Wall Paper, Grazia, Mashable and TimeOut and collaborations include Coco de Mer, Studio Sexus, Chakrubs, Noyau, Jay Rose Tattoo, Servadio and Brunello.

The thing I’m most grateful for are the connections I’ve made along the way: the laughter, the friendships, the workshops, the honest and intimate conversations, and the trust you’ve placed in me and my work.

🥀The store closes Thursday 15 January, and my final workshop (17 January) is fully booked.

📣 I’ve had a few requests for an extra date. If there’s enough interest, I may host one final workshop on 18 January.

❣️DM me if you’d like to attend this additional workshop date on the 18th 🤍

💌I’d love to stay in touch join my Substack & newsletter.

Real talk: running this business has been an amazing journey, but the last few years have been increasingly challenging, and it’s taken a toll on my physical, mental, and emotional health.

Closing feels like the right choice, as heartbreaking as it is.

The store closes Thursday 15 January, and my final workshop on 17 January is now sold out.

I’ve had a few requests for an extra date - if enough people are interested, I might host one on 18 January. Please message me if you would like the chance to attend. If I do, there will be 6 places. First come, first served.

I’ve been holding this in for a while… closing my pleasure tool business has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. In this reel I share why it’s been so difficult. The store closes in 8 days on Thursday 15 January. My final workshop will be Saturday 17 January. I’d love to stay connected. Sign up to my newsletter and substack to follow my next chapter

I hate goodbyes and this isn’t one entirely. It’s more of a see you later, in my next iteration 🐦‍🔥🐍

Thank you so much to everyone who has followed, supported, shared, loved (and made lobe) with my work.

I’ll share more later on the reasons why this chapter has come to a close. For now, you can find my last remaining pieces online at final sale prices and join me at my final farewell d***o decorating workshop on the 17th January (links in bio).

Massive love to all of you xx

In love with the simplicity and devotion of burnishing clay with terra sigillata and a small smooth stone. This is an ancient practice that seals the surface and brings out a beautiful, lustrous sheen.

A letter from my 10 year old self finding me 33 years later. I really needed the reminder this week that I am living my dream life ✌🏼💫🏺🎨 The letter reads:

Dear F.r. Christmas

Before you read this letter I know you won’t be able to get some of these presents.

Clay = for potery

and if you definetly definetly can’t get that some paints (((proper paints))) will do.

and if you can could you please get me some clothes.

You don’t *have* to get me any of these ok.

Lots and lots of love
