Personalised Wedding labels

These are initial stamped clay labels that will be used to dress up some flower vases and jars on a sweety bar at my wedding next year. 
They have been made flat and stamped with the first letter of our names and later formed around a tube to create a curved shape to them so that they sit around the jars. I plan to wrap some burlap or lace around the jars aswell so I am looking forward to seeing how these turn out.

Here is how they looked just after I had cut them all out them and personalised them.

Here is how they all looked after they were formed around a tube.

Wedding favours part 2

Always lots of weddings being prepared at the beginning part of the year, it begins to tail off now and I won't do so many for a while.

Here is my latest commission, instead on the central hole on the heart the customer wanted a hole on the side so that they could be tied neatly onto napkins on the wedding tables.
Im really pleased with these, very simple and a chic idea to tie them onto the napkins so that the guest names can be written on them.
120 just got sent out to there new recipient!

A Pot

I never make pots.
But recently I got the urge to, I hand built it just layering sections of clay, then graduated the pot to create the funnel neck, retrieved from a single firing with a lovely matt white glaze and some cobalt oxide painted flecked across the top.
I don't make pots because Im too critical about them when they are finished so I usually throw them away.
I like this one so it can stay, perfect it is not, flawed, very, but it is perfect for these catkins I think

Hunderwasser Clay Tiles School Projects

Hunderwasser

School project for the year 8's, looking at Hunderwasser paintings and creating a clay glazed tile in the style of.
The tile has images of the seaside town where they live, as they needed to incorporate things from their environment into the tile, In this example I made for them I have included the wind turbines, fairground roof shapes, part of a traditional windmill, the sea, a seagull and part of a recycling sign. The sides were built up so that glass could be melted into the recesses.
The Year 8's loved this project!!
