Hand building birds, starting with the basic shape clay wrapped around paper more and more clay is added for the detail
A few of my pieces, birds, dogs, dishes and pots

Dogs with teddies sculptures, each one created by hand.
My Studio (which I share with my car) not normally this clean and tidy ;).. had to take a pic so it would last longer :D

Self taught artist who loves playing with clay

I’m natural born artist (that’s what my mum tells me) Self taught, everything I've learned about clay is by trial and error LOTs of error (oh and the internet...where would we be without it.) I’ve always been into arts and crafts and growing up my room was always declared a disaster area, no one dared to enter but me, my parents would tell me “For God’s sake Anita tidy your room” and I always went in there with good intentions but would then discover a half finished project I had to do :)
Years later in 2005 I discovered ceramic clay and have been creating porcelain & stoneware creatures since then. (And funnily enough my studio is in a pretty similar state to my room all those years ago :D)

I create one of a kind porcelain creatures, my creatures are whimsical rather than anatomical and I'm often told they are very tactile. Nothing pleases me more than to see people look at my art and smile :)

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalised orders

I am sorry I am unable to create custom orders at the moment but am always happy to hear ideas and suggestions

Multiple purchases shipping

I am happy to combine shipping and will refund any overpayment once I have packaged and weighed the parcel

Are items food safe?

All of my work is glazed with food safe glazes unless otherwise stated

Do you use moulds in your work?

I do not use any moulds for any of my bird or animal sculptures, I do use my own handmade one piece moulds for some of my bowls and mugs which are then decorated with the little hand sculpted figurines and I have just started to create sprig moulds from my own hand formed bird or animal tiles. Each and every piece I create is unique.
