Wonderful Water Colour |
 |
| 26 June 2014 We love this hand painted birthday card showing Maggie making a Tiger Head Pot by our talented friend Ruth Bramley. Ruth has even added a box of bats! |
Who Let The Dogs Out? |
 |
| 5 June 2014 Well PC Andy Durham from the Lincolnshire Police Dog Section let lots of dogs out around our pottery workshop, to have their paws printed in to presentation plaques. A few years ago Andy brought us some huge German Shepherds http:// How many police dog handlers does it take to print a dog paw? Quite a lot! |

Rolling Pin At The Ready |
 |
| 30 May 2014 Maggie’s busy rolling lots of tiles in preparation for this weekend’s workshop at the Lincoln Castle for the 1000 Years of Traditional Crafts show. It looks like the sun is going to shine on us at last, so it promises to be a great day out with lots of free activities and stone carvers, glass artists, pottery, weavers and tours around the castle. |
Wondering Which Bird |
 |
| 28 May 2014 Tracy is wondering which birds to make at this weekend’s 1000 Years of Traditional Crafts at the Lincoln Castle. At the last show she managed to make a pair of Barn Owls; so maybe some little Puffins and Penguins, the odd Kiwi and probably a couple of Dodos. Anything to distract her from the homemade fudge stalls! |
Forget Sponge Bob This Is Sponge Buffalo |
 |
| 20 May 2014 Buffalo Head Pots are tricky things to make, as Maggie has to pack the underneath of the horns with lots of sponge, which helps the design to dry out slowly and keep well balanced. A selection of these large head pot sculptures is featured in the African Week exhibition at the Joe Cornish Gallery in Northallerton. |
Ceramics In Charnwood |
 Crow and Daisy Pot Auctioned at Ceramics in Charnwood  |
| 17 May 2014 Maggie and Tracy will be exhibiting at the Ceramics in Charnwood pottery show held in the Loughborough Market Place this Sunday 18th May from 10 am – 4pm. This lovely one day show has created by Salsbury Ceramics potters Louise and David.

Crows at Calke |

Maggie’s Seeing Stripes |
|
| 25 April 2014 Maggie has been busy carving some large Zebra Head Pots. It is quite a tricky process getting the lines just right. Sometimes a manic “AAARRRGGHHH!” can be heard when the lines go wrong; that means it is time to put the kettle on. |
Birthday Bat |
|
| 23 April 2014 “From England to Alaska in one piece. I gave this to a friend for her birthday and she loves it! It came very quickly in the mail and was beautifully wrapped. I will be ordering from you again.” Thank you to our lovely customer Anne who gave us a wonderful review on Etsy. We have several on-line shops and it is exciting to send work all over the world. |
Dodos at Doddington |
 |
20 April 2014 This Easter Bank Holiday Monday, Maggie and Tracy will be exhibiting at the Coach House at Doddington Hall along with some Dodos, Hares and lots of other animals.
