My other passion besides pottery!

Growing food is so rewarding…… that one seed can create a plant that can keep giving and giving.

First pic is of a sugar baby watermelon 🍉. Quite excited to see how it’s going to turn out.

Celery , carrots, kale, spinach, coriander , strawberries and baby marrows are being harvested on a regular basis.

Looking forward to basil, tomatoes, beetroot, lettuce, spring onions, beans and even some chamomile.

The cape gooseberries grow like weeds out here. They self seed and pop up all over the place.

Some more bud vases…..
I love making these and think they make great little gifts.

They stand about 10cm high
R110 each

Here they are displayed with some road side pickings of Ammi and Statice

Flowers always bring a bit of life to an area.

Testing out an old barium turquoise glaze I made years ago( it’s meant to be more turquoise)

And it worked…..
Started it off on a slow gas flame.
I didn’t really need to turn it up high, the heat seemed to be contained nicely in the pot.

Carrots, spinach and coriander from the garden.

Hopefully one day I’ll grow it all…. Ginger, garlic and sweet potatoe.

Served up in my hand thrown terracotta pasta bowl
These low wide bowls are so versatile.

Finally fired my traditional clay pot…..

Looking for a unique handmade gift……….

Hand thrown stoneware vase with a simple contrasting white glaze, will fit into a neutral or contemporary decor scheme.

You can always tell when something is handmade, it has slight imperfections and always feels more alive, than mass produced items.

Pretty little hand thrown budvases are perfect for a few sprigs of blooms.
The only flowers I have in my garden right now are feverfew.
Hoping to grow a patch of flowers this year for cut flowers.

Grateful for chilly winter mornings like these.
My boy and I are both feeling pain in the body at the moment, his is from old age and mine health issues.

Knowing this will pass and finding many things to be grateful for helps .
The only constant is change…….
