Pottery Workshop

Yesterday my mum & I had a fabulous day out together at a pottery workshop with Maggie Donald in Parson Drove.

We had so much fun, it was nice to have a go at making things on a much larger scale than I am used to!

We each got to glaze a piece of Raku pottery - you paint on the glaze & then they get fired & then put into a pile of sawdust which catches fire & the smoke gets into the cracks in the glaze - it is very clever - below is the Raku pottery I glazed - the black areas had no glaze, the white were clear glaze & the copper colouring is where the fire oxidised the glaze (although don't quote me on the oxidising bit - I'm not 100% sure of my facts!) 

After years of wanting to have a go on a potters wheel I finally had a go at throwing a pot - I made 2 little bowls & once they have been fired I can go back to glaze them. As well as my 2 bowls I made a heart shaped dish, 2 tiles & a little pot I am going to use for potpouri - all a little rustic & amateurish but I am very proud of my attempts!! Can't wait to glaze them & bring them home to brighten up my little house!

Maggie Donald runs a Beginners One Day Pottery Course in her studio in Parson Drove for £35 per person, including 1 piece of Raku pottery and a wonderful lunch (follow the link on the right of the page to The Wonderful World of ArtDonald)

Hand Print Charms

I am pleased to say that I can now offer hand print charms. It is possible to use anyone's hand or foot prints to make a charm or necklace, even tiny babies who are too young to have developed fingerprints so they are the prefect present for new mums & dads.

Charms £35 - includes inkless kit for taking a print of each hand

Tiny Works of Art

Children love to draw and can create beautiful pictures that you want to keep forever, now you can immortalise your children's drawings in silver and carry them with you 

Use your childrens drawings to create charms for bracelets, necklaces .....

Or even keyrings .....

 

A Tiny Work of Art can be made of any drawing so either choose one you have saved from years ago or get your child to draw something especially for the Tiny Art and email it to emwatson1986@gmail.com 

For best results Tiny Works of Art should be made with simple, line drawings, drawn with a thick line, although we will do our best with any art work provided.

Necklaces (1 pendant) £60 , Single charms £25 , Keyrings (1 charm) £35

More Fingerprint Jewellery Ideas

If you love the idea of fingerprint jewellery but aren't a "necklace person" then I have the perfect solution - charm bracelets!

I love charm bracelets - they stand out and look great, but perhaps the best bit about them is that every one is different - so what better than to have your child's fingerprint looking beautiful in fine silver around your wrist!

Bracelets with a single fingerprint charm are £50 (additional charms can be added for £15 each)
