This year I discovered Cacao and all it’s amazin

This year I discovered Cacao and all it’s amazing properties. I’ve taken part in wonderful cacao ceremonies and also just enjoyed it as a mid afternoon pick me up. It’s always better from a beautiful cup so I’ve made these little ones that fit snug in the hand and have a dimple that your thumb sits in. I can’t think of a nicer pairing than with the delicious @nibbed_cacao. I have some gift sets up on my website. These will also be available from @madeinkilkenny pop up shop opening this weekend.

I love the challenge of making my stacking range. It’s so satisfying to see the finished pieces sitting beautifully together.

I make many different cups and mugs, different shapes and sizes. Each one unique and each one a joy to use.

It’s Christmas Tree time again 🎄 these can be tricky to make if the clay is too stiff or too soft. I make lots of different sizes and they look so beautiful when I fill the shop windows with them.

This is how I make spouts on my stacking creamers and jugs. I thin out the rim a little first so that it gives a nice crisp edge. This ensures that there is a nice pour with no drips….there’s nothing worse than a jug that doesn’t pour well and then drips.

I was throwing stacking creamers this week. These little creamers are small enough to fit perfectly in your hand and can be used for so many things from sauces to dressings. They have a really nice pour. I make the spout after they have stiffened up a little so I don’t distort the shape.

Throwing 2kg serving dishes. These serving dishes come in 3 sizes and this is the large one. The clay was quite soft so I had to go gently towards the end or it could easily collapse. The detail of the scalloped edge gives it a nice finish and I sell a lot of these as wedding gifts from the studio shop…I’ve said it before ‘you can never have too many bowls’ especially large ones.

Throwing large jugs. 1.6kg of stoneware clay. My pots are thrown quite thin and very little is trimmed off after, so I can get a lot from the clay. Regardless of the size of pot I’m making I use a maximum of three pulls to get the height. When I’m happy with the shape I thin out a spot on the rim and make the spout. These jugs will dry for a couple of days and then they go back on the wheel to have the base cleaned up and stamped thats when the handles go on.
I love these jugs on a table filled with water or even better fresh flowers.

Ever pot goes back on the wheel a day or so after I throw them. This process is called turning or trimming. I leave very little excess clay in my pots when I make them so it’s just a matter of defining the base and smoothing it out. These are stacking jugs before they are handled.

This weeks zen moment is brought to you by soup bowls ✌️🕊

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.
