Does anyone have any bubble wrap they're wanting to get rid of? We will always recycle it in the pottery.

This week was meant to be a good one - turns out this didn't go to plan. Swipe to see working space, the luxurious life of a potter.

Currently only have one of three kilns working. Elements is a pain in the bum to fix but possible. After a long old morning, much cramp and several points where I drew blood id finished

Turned the kiln on... Drum roll... IT STILL DOESNT WORK!

It's the transformer/transbobber/connectimubdous/clickibit

So it's on order and my lovely electrician friend Naz is going to come and save the day. But it does mean we are still without any other kilns....

Please bear with us, I'm working my butt off and stacking up all the orders and feeding them through anyday of the week the kiln finishes!

Photos of our wonderful Sgraffito course a couple of weeks ago! It's our favourite course we run, it really unleashes everyone's creativity and they always leave surprised with how it's gone!

We're running our last course of the year next weekend - wax melt burner and flower plaque. There's only a couple spaces left, so if you'd like something lovely to do on a Saturday then jump on. Ticket link in our bio.

All courses are held at the red lion in Wirksworth and are great for people of all skill levels.

Update - disaster but all fine. Standard pottery studio behaviour.

Two kilns out of action, a whole load of work but fixing plan is in place. Teaches me for going on holiday 😂

Happy Saturday everyone!

Ed in Sicily. The irritation of me papping him soon decreases due to the increase in vermouth.

The last two are him getting himself locked in a toilet and the sweaty sweaty release of freedom.

I bloody love this man.
