Wheel-Thrown Homeware
We make use of our homeware daily, so why not make it a pleasure to use: beautiful and tactile as well as functional! With items from plates and bowls to mugs and jugs in lots of different designs, my wheel-thrown stoneware pottery will bring a warmth to your home – and your daily living.
Wheel-Thrown Homeware
All my homeware is fired to extremely high temperatures, which make it oven- and freezer-proof, as well as dishwasher-safe. Some care still needs to be taken, however. Treat your homeware as you would any other ceramic homeware you have: don’t take it between extreme temperatures (hot to cold, cold to hot); don’t hold it over direct heat; and don’t let it boil dry. Also, do not use a microwave because some types of clay and glazes contain metallic oxides, meaning they are not microwave-safe.
Many of the wheel-thrown homeware items in the gallery below have already been sold. I also take commissions, so I can make items to your bespoke design, size and finish. Please contact me (see below), if you would like something original and personal.
