Check out some of the new Inch Blue baby shoes we have in the shop right now……too cute for words

Hot from the kiln………check out my brand new ‘Buttermilk range’ of everyday tableware here. Its a soft white glaze with a slight mother of pearl tinge, the shapes are both contemporary and nostalgic. I have lived with it for the past 12 months or so and I am so  happy with the shapes and the glaze, I love it and its great mixed in with my trade mark powder blue glaze.

I love this gift wrap paper, its double sided and not specifically Christmasey , just beautiful. I started tonight, gift  wrapping boxes(to create the look) for the new Pop up Shop that MADE in kilkenny are opening in Kilkenny this Saturday. We start to make the shop beautiful and fill it with gorgeous hand crafted goodies on Wednesday so 3 days to transform the space……….I love a challenge. Rolls of gift wrap are available from Rosemarie Durr pottery €6 each

A week spent in west Cork has been the perfect stock up of inspiration to get me through the winter months ahead……….

Autumn is my favorite season, the food, the colours, the crisp days and long nights. I’ve had great fun carving pumpkins, collecting leaves and making the shop look seasonal………

This post has taken forever to finish, just because of all the crazyness around here……..

 I love the easy way everything sits together in this house, Klaus and Heikes personalities really come through, theres a relaxed, easy, homely feel to everything inside and out, what more could you want from your house? The beautiful hand painted tiles are from The Bridge Pottery.

I know all the potters out there will wish they possessed such skill when it comes to building kilns, come to think of it I guess skills of this sort would come in handy in lots of everyday jobs…………

What a great weekend. It was an inspiration as a maker to see such beautiful work, it really was a selection of the best talent in Britain and Ireland at the moment. Hope to see more Irish makers represented next year, so get on it and apply to show.

A busy week ahead, Ceramic Art London awaits
