Throwing large jugs 1.75kg.
Instagram doesn’t seem to like anything that takes longer than one minute but I don’t like speeding up my process to fit with social media. I enjoy the natural rhythm to making. The integrity that goes into handmade items is felt by the end user. The time that goes into making craft is time well spent and often takes longer than one minute.

Throwing baking dishes. 1.25kg of stoneware clay. These dishes come in 3 sizes this one I’m making is the medium size. I aim to make my pots with as little pulls of the clay as possible, this way the clay has still plenty of life and energy left in it and is not deadened by overworking.

Throwing my little heart dishes off the hump. This is a really nice way to make smaller dishes and faster than using individual balls of clay.

We are loving the slightly slower pace of January. Time to take time, regroup and gather our thoughts. Sundays are a gift to be enjoyed and we’re off to enjoy it so the shop won’t be open today. Hope you get to enjoy your day.

In this New Year May the light of your soul guide

In this New Year

May the light of your soul guide you
May the light of your soul bless the work you do
with the secret love and warmth of your heart.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment,
inspiration and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.
May the day never burden.
May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.
May your soul calm, console and renew you.

After closing the shop today we got a walk in between showers and low and behold we found the end of the rainbow! There is always light and beauty in between the showers. Thank you for keeping us in business. For supporting small irish craft. We will be spending some time with kids and family over the next couple of weeks and the shop will be back open normal hours from January 10th. Happy Christmas wherever you are 🎄❤️

The potters wheel is practically smoking it’s going so fast these days. Thank you so much for shopping with us on line and visiting our studio shop we are so great full to be constantly busy. We are on track to get all your orders out in time but no more new orders for plates will be processed until the new year. With everything else we will do our best. Both me and the post system will start creaking under the strain soon enough so don’t wait around.

This evening we were at the launch of this beautiful exhibition ‘made in Ireland’ at the national craft gallery. It’s a first for @andrewludick and I to be exhibiting alongside each other and while he is no stranger to @ndcgallery I have not had the opportunity before. Thank you @hilarymorleyvisualartist and Mary Gallagher for putting together this vast selection of amazing irish craft.
The show runs until the end of January.

I’m making the most of my time off and enjoy beautiful days outside followed by time baking and and sharing meals with family and friends. There are so many varieties of apples here in Ohio I’m working my way through and figuring out which are best suited to baking. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to!

There is a lovely calm returned back to the shop and at home. With the kids settled back in school and a more structured routine I’m getting a chance to restock and complete orders which have mounted up over the past couple of months. It feels wonderful to get a few hours uninterrupted making time.
