About Artisanal & Custom Ceramics
I make ceramics that feel like a little bit of magic landed in your home. Everything starts with my hands, my memories, and a lot of imagination. My pieces aren’t perfect - they’re full of quirks, just like me.
What I Make
- Whimsical ceramic figurines are my thing. Owls and angels pop up everywhere, but you’ll also spot rabbits, gnomes, birds, and some cheeky Pop Art sculptures.
- Vases and chimes with textures and hand-painted details. Some pieces double up as little lights - mushroom fairy houses and lotus flowers that glow with a tealight.
- Custom ceramic serveware for your table. Platters with embossed flowers, plates with elephants, bowls with textures, and jars with sculpted lids (pumpkin patch jars are a hit).
- Boho ceramic jewellery - earrings and necklaces, mostly one-of-a-kind, for folks who like to wear art.
My Story
I started this as a way to keep my late mother’s love alive. Her collection of animal figurines inspired me, and now my studio is my playground. I use pinching and slab techniques, so every piece is hand-built and unique.
Seasonal Collections
I get a kick out of making seasonal ceramic collections. Christmas brings Santa figurines, angel bells, and festive ornaments. Fall is all about pumpkins and cozy plates.
Custom Orders
If you want something personal, I’m happy to chat. Sometimes I pause custom orders when things get busy, but I always let folks know when I’m back. Thanks for letting me share my world with you.

My Story
Fall and Christmas, that’s my jam. I’m a true Bong, always making Pithas and baking cakes with carols blasting. My online shop kicked off in the pandemic, honestly, I had zero clue it’d take off. The love from you all saved my studio. Teaching pottery, watching folks shape clay for the first time—pure joy. Imperfect, wobbly, but so full of heart. That’s what keeps me going.
My Work
Handmade Decor, Tableware, Jewellery - I make quirky, fantasy-inspired pieces - elves, gnomes, magic, and experiment with Pop Art too.
Custom Orders & Pottery Classes - I take custom requests and run handbuilt pottery classes for all levels, even wobbly pottery workshops.
My Style - Almost everything’s handbuilt, organic, asymmetric. Imperfect joints? Yep, and that’s the charm.
Pottery Workshops - Celebrate occasions or memories. I guide everyone - couples, siblings, anyone wanting to create with clay.
