It wouldn't be Christmas without some gold! I'm often questioned, how do you manage to apply the gold lustre so neatly? So here's a way that works for me. After application, I allow to dry for 24hrs before firing in an electric kiln to 770degC at a ramp of 250degC/hr. . . . . . . #porcelaincandle #tealightholders #giftideas #handmadeinjerseyci #handmadegifts #christmascandles #handmadechristmas #wip #slipcastporcelain #slipcastceramics #goldlustre #todayinmystudio #toolsofthetrade #ceramicstudio #ceramicglaze #genuinejsy #studiopotter #potteryprocess #waketomake #makersmovement #potterybusiness #creativepreneur

Lately, it's been rather stormy here in Jersey with rain, strong winds and high tides but on the plus side, it does make some interesting sea scapes ð I'll add a few of these stormy t-light holders to my website this week and keep your eyes peeled for a discount code to kick start your Christmas shopping. . . . . . . #coastalceramics #slipcastporcelain #genuinejsy #marbleceramic #coastalart #slipcasting #christmasgiftideas #handmadeinjerseyci #seascapeart #porcelainart #ceramicart #pottersofinstagram #candleloversofinstagram #supportartisans #supporthandmade #potterybusiness #ceramicist #stainedporcelain #slipcastceramics #slipdecoration

Boo!ðŧ I've been off the grid for so long I bet this post came as some suprise! ðĪŠ Sorry I've been bad at posting this year. I kinda got out of the habit and found it difficult to get back into. I promise to work on this! So an update... I've been working behind the scenes on Christmas stock, whilst heavily pregnant! it's been a challenge getting it all ready by the end of the September, working flat out so I could go on maternity leave. But I did it and my little girl, Robin was born 4 weeks ago. She's such a sweetie and it's been a whirlwind of a month getting to know her. Check out stories in the next few days for a photo of her ð. I'm on maternity leave now so I'll only be doing the one Christmas market this year...Simply Christmas, 5th-8th Dec but I have plenty of stock available to buy from my website shop- look out for a discount code to be used early november for all you early bird Christmas shoppers. Until then, have a happy Halloween ð

Last working week before the schools break up and with baby Smillie due early Oct. I'm working hard to build up my stock for....dare I say it ð...Christmas ð. This mornings trimmings from slip casting. Amazing how much clay is left. Any advice from potter followers on how to reclaim the porcelain and turn it back to slip will be much appreciated. Getting mixed results here, I can't quite get the consistency correct and my pregnancy brain is struggling to process material science these days ðĪ ð . . . . . . #porcelain #slipcasting #wip #reclaimingclay #wastenotwantnot #reuse #clayreclaim #slip #porcelainslip #studiopotter
