I love this sound… mixing glazes will forever be my favourite pastime.
The beauty about Art is that it has the ability to transcend over many different objects.
My particular medium of choice at the moment is working with clay and glazes.
It’s a constant voyage of artistic discovery.
I create multifunctional bespoke art pieces, plates, platters and bowls.
All pieces are one of a kind.
I sculpt and mix my own glazes.
I believe each bag of clay holds endless possibilities - it’s an ongoing adventure.
Doing what inspires me on a daily basis motivates me & drives my brand to greater heights.
I have a love affair with every bag of clay I open, with every piece I sculpt and with every bottle of glaze I mix.
Each imprint matters.
Each brush stroke matters.
Each piece contains part of my soul.
Each piece made with my hands from start to finish.

I reached a point where I just stopped needing to be understood. Not in a dramatic way… the need simply faded.

I spent so much of my earlier years chasing validation and wanting to be accepted, wanting people to get me. Trying to shape myself into something more palatable, more “perfect”… with smoother edges, fewer flaws.

And then, slowly, something shifted.
Quietly, but completely.

Like clay in my hands, I began to realise I didn’t need to be forced into anyone else’s mould.
I could soften where I needed to, hold form where it mattered, and honour every mark, every imperfection as part of my story.

I started choosing my peace.
Holding onto what truly nourishes me.
Letting go of what cracks me from the inside out.

I spoke less where I wasn’t heard, saving my energy for spaces where my voice could land gently and be received.

I let my soul take the lead… shaping my life the way I shape my pieces intuitively, patiently, unapologetically.

And the truth is… I’ve felt less alone standing at my workbench, hands deep in clay, than I ever did in rooms full of people who couldn’t see me or understand me.

I don’t search for understanding anymore.
I’ve found something far better
a quiet, steady kind of peace… I love it so much.

The kind that settles in your bones,
like a piece that’s finally been fired and knows exactly what it is.

Looking back at these photos in 2017 from my very 1st year feels like opening a time capsule.
A girl, some clay, big dreams, & absolutely no idea what was coming.
No roadmap. No guarantees.
Just a gut feeling that wouldn’t leave me alone.

I remember calling it a “scary leap of faith” at the time.
It was.
But what I didn’t know then is that the leap isn’t the hard part, It’s the staying.
The showing up.
The choosing it again on the days when nothing is working, nothing is selling & everything feels uncertain.
Believing in me over and over..

Back then I spoke about “the first 1000 days”, how fragile they are, how only a small percentage make it through. What I didn’t realise is that every phase that follows asks something new of you.
Year 1 was the dream.
Year 2 was the grind.
Year 3 was the lift off.

But years 4 through 9? They’ve been the becoming.

Becoming resilient.
Becoming disciplined.
Becoming someone who doesn’t just create when it’s easy or inspired… but creates anyway.

Because success, real success…isn’t 1 big moment.
It’s every early morning.
Every late night. Every failed piece.
Every cracked bowl. Every glaze that didn’t do what I hoped it would. Every market, every message, every delivery, every single “try again”.

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in & day out.” I have lived every single word of that.
My business has grown… but so have I & so has the love.
In ways I could have never imagined when I 1st got my hands dirty….if there’s one thing I know for sure now…
It’s that I’d still choose this.
Over and over again.
Here’s to where it all started…
And everything that’s still to come ✨

Being creative is not a hobby, it’s a way of life.
Eat ~ Sleep ~ Create ~ Repeat ✨

When you work with a natural substance like clay, you have to be in tune with it… to feel what state it’s in and respond accordingly.

This was me with my last delivery of clay… very wet almost impossibly soft clay.

I’d forgotten just how much I love this stage.
Pressing my fingers into it, shaping, reshaping, slowly working out the moisture… letting it move through my hands.

There’s something so honest about this part of the process.
Messy, imperfect, unpredictable.

And yet, right beside it… the finished pieces.
Refined, glazed, almost unrecognisable from where they began.
That contrast never gets old for me.

It’s deeply meditative. It quiets the noise, softens the edges, and pulls me out of overthinking and back into feeling.

In these moments, I’m reminded to let go… to trust the process, even when it doesn’t go the way I imagined.

Because the clay doesn’t always listen.
It shifts, it resists, takes on its own voice and it becomes something else entirely…

…and I’ve learnt to just surrender and listen back.

Sometimes the most beautiful pieces are the ones that were never planned at all.

Oh how I love seeing my babies shining back at me like this.

I spend hours with each one of my pieces from inception to completion. Some getting more time than others, some are more needy than others, and some demand very little time however still pack a might punch.
I see my creative process as a life metaphor most of the time.

Either way they all bring me an incredible amount of joy and parting with them is often difficult….
