    About 13 years ago I bought myself some clay to have a go at an old wheel that was sitting in the shed. Ever since then throwing is my main occupation, at first for my own use and bit by bit as a full time profession.

Welcome to my Etsy pottery shop!

For over 10 years I have been throwing clay on the pottery wheel. I can honestly say I have found my true passion. Handmade ceramics can do a special thing: they can create a unique connection between maker and user, something that is impossible with massproduced factory ware. The feeling of personal privilege I have myself when using handmade pottery everyday, is something I would like to share with others.
Every object I make starts as a simple ball of clay on the wheel. I personally develop shape and finish. The clay and glazes I use have been developed during years of study, testing and experiment. Most of the glazes I mix myself in order to have control over quality and behaviour in the oven.
As I hardly ever use molds every item will show subtle variations in size, shape and finish. Especially with sets this is visible. However this is not a shortcoming but a natural quality inherent in handmade ceramics.
All my pottery is foodsafe as there is no lead in the glaze. Also, everything is dishwasher- and microwave safe. It is possible to use it in the oven, in that case care has to be taken that changes in temperature are gradual. Please do not put an ovendish straight from the freezer into the oven.
My pottery is UNSAFE on open flame or grill.
