Handmade gifts

My range of giftware has been carefully designed and crafted in my home studio in rural Suffolk, United Kingdom.

Greetings cards are hand drawn digital drawings, that are inspired by many things; mid century graphic design, folk art, and Scandinavian illustration.

Pottery pieces are inspired by mid century ceramic sculptures.

However, my biggest inspiration is the beautiful Suffolk countryside.

All pottery pieces are hand built using white clay, and hand painted with underglaze before firing. All pottery pieces are glazed using glossy transparent glaze.

Each piece is handmade and no two pieces are ever the same, making it a perfectly unique gift for loved ones.
