My tankards hold a pint of fluid.I made these thinking they would be popular for beer/cider. However, I'm pretty sure everyone uses them for pints of coffee and tea! #madeincornwall #studiopottery #britshstudiopottery #contemporaryceramics #makershands #cone6glaze #tankard #pintmug #pulledhandle

Here's a sweet little trio of bud vases I fired recently. I love how vibrant the glazes look on these guys. Perfect thickness of glaze. 👌 . #madeincornwall #ceramicart #studiopottery #britshstudiopottery #contemporaryceramics #cone6glaze #artdeco #geometric #ceramicart #stonewareclay #budvase

I tried something slightly different with this teabowl and I'm very happy with the results. I glazed it very thick, went for a double dip. #madeincornwall #ceramicart #studiopottery #britshstudiopottery #cone6glaze #teabowl #chawan #floatingblue #copperblue #keramik #ceramicart

This is a close-up of one of my mugs. This glaze combination creates the craziest patterns and colours where the glazes mix together. . #madeincornwall #ceramicart #studiopottery #britshstudiopottery #contemporaryceramics #handcarved #cone6glaze #mug #pulledhandle #pattern #mugshotmonday #keramik

Here is the inside of one of my bowls. I think of these as soup bowls, as the handles are useful if the bowl is hot. However, I have one and I use it for my fruit in the morning! . #madeincornwall #ceramicart #studiopottery #britshstudiopottery #pottersofbluesky #contemporaryceramics #handcarved

A little matching pair of a teabowl and a lidded pot. I like to see pots as being a family. These guys are definitely sisters. . . #pottery #pottersofbluesky #liddedpot #teabowl #yunomi #geometric #ceramicart #art #ceramics #wheelthrown #maker #madeincornwall #potter

Here are a couple of the different stages in my carving process. All of my patterns are carved by hand in to the surface of the clay. . . #pottersofbluesky #pottery #ceramics #ceramicart #wheelthrown #liddedpot #stonewareclay

The design is a classic of mine now, one I often go back to and enjoy. It's nice to have a back catalogue of patterns that I like to carve. . . #madeincornwall #ceramicart #studiopottery #handcarved #cone6glaze #geometric #pattern #copperblue #keramik #ceramicart #hexagons #tessellation #teabowl

Here is a recently fired teabowl. All of my work is thrown at the wheel and carved by hand. I then use multiple glazes to create juicy colours. . . . #pottery #ceramics #handcarved #cone6glaze #madeincornwall #wheelthrown #pattern #studiopottery
